Express Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Express Point. This is a classic point break that loves a good southwest swell, and it’s a consistent spot when the stars align. The water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy.

The main story here is a solid run of long-period groundswell from the SW, with periods sitting around 15 to 16 seconds. That’s proper energy, and on a point, it’s going to line up nicely. The wind is the variable – some days it’s glassy, some days it’s a bit cross.

The first real action is Thursday the 13th. The morning brings an 8ft SW swell, same long 16-second period, and offshore winds from the WNW at 19 mph. That’s fresh offshore and clean – the waves will be smooth and powerful. The energy is strong (3039). This is a big one, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds at 8ft with a lighter cross-off, still clean.

Friday the 14th keeps the swell at 8ft in the morning, cross-off wind, 2475 energy. It’s still a solid, clean option. The afternoon turns cross-shore and gets a bit messy.

Saturday the 15th, the swell drops to 6ft, period 15 seconds, and the wind goes light cross-onshore. The morning is still surfable, but not as clean. The energy is 1632, moderate.

Sunday the 16th, the swell is down to 5ft, cross-shore wind, energy 813. It’s small and choppy. Monday the 17th is even smaller at 4ft, onshore winds – not worth it.

There’s a real quiet spell from the 16th through the 21st, with small swell and poor conditions. Tuesday the 18th has a tiny 4ft swell with a light cross-off breeze, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.

The second week has a couple of highlights. Monday the 24th has a 4ft SW swell, 17-second period, light cross-off breeze, energy 1136. The forecast calls it very good surf conditions – that’s a sleeper. Tuesday the 25th afternoon sees a big spike back to 8ft, SW, 15 seconds, energy 2982, with a moderate cross-off breeze. That’s a big one.

And the real standout is Wednesday the 26th morning: 7ft SW swell, 14-second period, gentle cross-off breeze, energy 1895. The forecast calls it excellent for experienced surfers, and it’s clean. That’s the session to aim for.

After that, the swell drops off quickly into Thursday the 27th, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions.

If you’re picking your moment, Thursday the 13th morning for the big, clean, offshore power, and Wednesday the 26th morning for the slightly smaller but still excellent conditions. The 24th to 26th window is a promising one, but it’s still a ways out, so keep an eye on it.
