4 Mile Beach and Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for your local stretch.

Right off the bat, we’ve got some fun little windows comin’ up, but the real standout is a big pulse of energy way out there on the 10th of August that’s got my heart thumpin'. The first few days will be clean but small, so don't expect any heroics just yet.

We’re lookin’ at 4 Mile Beach and Point for the whole run. The water temp is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Friday morning, 31st July kicks things off with a clean 4 ft SSE swell, light offshore wind from the W, and a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (224), and it’s clean – a good start to the weekend. The afternoon goes a bit average with a cross-onshore breeze, so get it in the morning.

Saturday morning, 1st August is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a clean 4 ft SE groundswell, very light offshore wind from the WNW, and a solid 12-second period. That long period will give the waves some real push and shape, and the energy is solid (307). The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore wind, making it a solid day all round.

Sunday, 2nd August keeps the clean vibe with a cross-offshore NW wind, but the swell drops a little. Still surfable, but not as punchy.

Monday morning, 3rd August is a glassy little session with 3 ft from the NNE, but the period is short (6 seconds), so it’ll be a bit weak. The energy is low (138). The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind and rain.

Tuesday, 4th August the swell drops right off, but the afternoon sees a bump in size to 7 ft from the S. The problem is it’s a short period (6 seconds) and cross-shore wind, so it’s messy. Honestly, that’s looking more like a kite-surfing afternoon than anything clean for a paddle.

Wednesday, 5th August is similar – a bit of size (6 ft) but cross-shore wind and rain, so conditions are ordinary.

Thursday morning, 6th August is a beauty. Clean 4 ft SE swell, glassy conditions with a light WSW wind, and decent energy (234). A real gem for a mid-week paddle.

Friday, 7th August is a bit of a write-off – small, cross-shore wind, and poor conditions.

Now, here’s the one that gets me excited. Saturday morning, 8th August we’ve got a 7 ft NNE swell with clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is kicking (404) and the waves will have some punch. The afternoon builds to 7 ft, but the wind swings more cross-shore, so it’s a bit less clean.

Sunday, 9th August the swell drops back to 4 ft, but the morning is clean with cross-offshore wind. Good for a longboard or a fun fish.

Monday, 10th August – okay, this is the big one. We’ve got a 10 ft NNE swell for the morning. The wave energy is massive (2505), which is a serious amount of power. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. This is for experienced surfers only – that size is no joke. The afternoon drops to 7 ft but stays clean, still a solid session.

Tuesday, 11th August keeps the clean theme with a 5 ft NNE swell and offshore W winds. The energy is still strong (450). A great follow-up day.

Wednesday, 12th August through to Saturday, 15th August the swell fades away. There’s a tiny glassy 1 ft on the 14th with a super long 19-second period, but it’s barely a ripple. The run ends on the 15th with a tiny 3 ft SE swell and offshore wind.

So, to sum it up: the standout days are Saturday 1st August for that clean, long-period groundswell, and Monday 10th August for the serious size and power. Get on it while it’s good.

Rusty.
