Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Look, I won’t sugarcoat it — this outlook for Fox Hill Point is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, July 8th, and even then, it’s a marginal call.
Wednesday morning, July 8th is our only real window in the near term. We’re looking at a small 4ft swell coming out of the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, pushing combined energy of 215 (moderate). It’s a bit crumbly, but the wind is light from the ESE at 3 mph, which is onshore but very light – almost glassy. That’ll keep the surface clean for a bit. Fox Hill Point is a reef setup, so that short-period ESE swell won’t have much punch, but for an intermediate surfer, there might be a few fun little lefts if you’re in the right spot.
By Wednesday afternoon, the wind jumps up to 12 mph from the SE, turning cross-onshore and choppy. That’s game over for quality.
From there, it’s a long dry spell. Thursday July 9th the swell drops to 3ft and 3ft, wind is cross-offshore, but the energy is weak (121 and 114). You could paddle out, but it’s “very ordinary” – not worth getting excited about.
Then from Friday July 10th through to Wednesday July 23rd, the swell just tanks. We’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft for days on end. The combined energy drops into the teens and twenties (weak), with occasional spikes into the 30s and 40s. The period is a mess – short, sloppy windswell mostly. There are a few moments of offshore wind, like Tuesday morning July 21st with a clean WNW breeze at 6 mph, and Wednesday morning July 22nd with glassy conditions. But with only 0.7ft to 2ft of swell, you’d be floating on a lake. It’s not surf.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the ocean just shuts off. Fox Hill Point needs a proper SE groundswell to come alive, and we’re not getting it in this 16-day window. If you’re a beginner, the Wednesday morning the 8th is the only time with small, clean waves – but at 4ft on a reef, keep your wits about you. For everyone else, maybe bring a kite if you’ve got one, because the windier afternoons with cross-shore breeze might be more fun for that.
Keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this quiet for long around here.
Rusty.

Information about the Fox Hill Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fox Hill Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fox Hill Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fox Hill 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 (Fox Hill 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 Fox Hill 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.
Fox Hill Point is 6 km (4 miles) from Hampton. If you plan a vacation in New Hampshire, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hampton. Hampton has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
