Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fingal Point and Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening at Fingal Point and Beach. This point break sees a fair bit of swell and the water temp is about 70°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
Friday the 10th is a dud – 6ft SE swell with short period and cross wind. Skip it.
Saturday the 11th is the gem. Morning’s okay with 5ft SE swell and light cross breeze, but the afternoon is money: 4ft from the ESE, glassy, with a long period of 12 seconds. That’s groundswell wrapping around the point – clean, lined up, and fun. Combined energy is 613 – solid. Crowds are possible so don’t sleep on it.
Sunday the 12th drops to 4ft in the morning then fades. Monday the 13th is tiny – 2ft and glassy but just weak. Tuesday through Thursday are flat or junk.
Then Friday the 17th brings a 7ft pulse from the SE, but with only a 7‑second period. That’s short, lumpy, and cross‑choppy – energy is strong (522‑573) but it’s more of a kite day than a surf day.
The next decent chance is Monday the 20th, about a week and a half out. Morning offers glassy conditions with a 5ft easterly swell, 8‑second period, energy 222. Clean but not as crisp as the 11th. The rest of the second week stays small – occasional glassy moments but mostly under 3ft with short period.
Bottom line: Saturday the 11th afternoon is your best bet. Monday the 20th morning is a distant second.
Rusty.
