The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Fishermans Point.
Look, we’ve got a solid little run of surf coming up, nothing monstrous, but plenty of clean, fun waves for the beginner to intermediate crew. The water temp is sitting about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
First real action kicks off Tuesday, July 14th. The morning is looking good with a clean 2ft SW groundswell (combined energy of 379), and a light cross-off breeze from the NE. It’s a reef and point set-up, so that long 13 second period will wrap in nicely. Tuesday afternoon gets a bit dicey with the wind turning onshore, but the morning is a nice little window.
Wednesday the 15th is a true standout. Morning brings offshore wind from the NNE and 3ft SSW groundswell. Not huge, but clean as a whistle. But the real gem is Wednesday afternoon – glassy conditions, 3ft SSW swell with a 14 second period, and a combined energy of 353. That is your session for the week. Perfect conditions for a longboard or a funboard.
The run continues through Thursday morning the 16th with offshore wind and a long 16 second period swell at 2ft, but the afternoon turns to junk with onshore wind. Friday morning the 17th is another clear, offshore morning with 3ft SSW swell – get on it early.
Saturday the 18th morning is clean with offshore wind again, same size. Sunday the 19th morning is completely glassy, zero wind, with a 3ft SSW groundswell. Just beautiful.
Now, the standout of the whole forecast – Monday the 20th. Morning glass, 3ft SW groundswell, combined energy of 503, and a 16 second period. That’s the pick of the bunch. Get down there early.
Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd also have glassy mornings with clean, fun waves. After that, the swell drops off a bit on Thursday the 23rd with only 1ft, but still clean in the morning.
Here’s the big one to watch for the following week. The long range looks promising. Friday the 24th morning brings a 4ft SE windswell, short period at 7 seconds, but it’s clean. Then Saturday the 25th morning – hold onto your board. We’re looking at 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 21 second period, combined energy of 979. That is serious energy. It’s a point and reef break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. The wind is cross-off from the NE, so it’ll be clean. This is a potential session of the month, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th mornings are also looking excellent with offshore winds and long period SW groundswell. Tuesday the 28th morning is glassy with 3ft SSW swell, and Wednesday the 29th morning is glassy with 3ft SW groundswell.
Crowds at Fishermans Point are sometimes an issue, so for those standout mornings, especially the 20th, 25th, and 27th, expect company. But with that quality and those conditions, it’s worth it.
Rusty.

Information about the Fishermans Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fishermans Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fishermans Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fishermans Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Fishermans Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Fishermans Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
