The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ up for Fox Hill Point.
First thing you gotta know: the water temp’s at 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothin’ drastic, but you’ll notice it’s a little more comfortable than average.
Right now, we’re lookin’ at a pretty grim stretch. The whole window from Wednesday the 15th right through to the end of the month is starvin’ for proper surf. There’s a real gap of nearly two weeks where the recommendation is basically zero. The first few days – Wednesday the 15th through Saturday the 18th – we’ve got nothin’ but tiny, gutless swell around 0.3ft to 1.0ft. Combined energy is weak at 18 to 24, so don’t even bother paddlin’ out. Winds are mostly cross-off or glassy at times, but there’s no wave to ride.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th? Still poor. Small 1ft to 3ft leftovers, period’s all over the place, and the energy’s still weak (45 to 51). A little bit of cross-off wind on Sunday morning keeps it clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. By Tuesday the 21st, we finally see a pulse: 4ft from the SSE, but with a shocking 5-second period – that’s just windslop. Combined energy climbs to 87, still weak. The afternoon has offshore wind, so it’s clean, but the waves are ordinary. That’s a “surfable but very ordinary” day.
Wednesday the 22nd is the best we’ll see all week. Morning offshore breeze from the west at 9 mph, 3ft of SSE swell with a 10-second period, and combined energy at 125 (moderate). It’s a gentle offshore and clean, so the waves will have some shape, but it’s still small. Not a standout by any stretch, just the least ordinary day in a flat spell.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday the 23rd through to the end of the month, the swell stays tiny – 2ft to 3ft – with periods mostly under 8 seconds, and cross-on winds ruinin’ any chance of a clean face. Energy stays weak (19 to 136) except for the 30th of July, where we see a jump to 223 in the morning (moderate), but the cross-on wind from the SSE at 12 mph makes it choppy and messy. The 30th morning has a 3ft ESE swell with a nice 11-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s only marginal.
If you’re desperate, Wednesday the 22nd morning is your best bet – small, clean, and offshore, but don’t expect any barrels. This spot is a reef break, so it’s intermediate level, and it’s fairly consistent, but the crowds are listed as “often” – so even on a tiny day, you might have company. The optimum swell direction is SE, and we’re gettin’ mostly SE or SSE, so that’s fine, but the size just isn’t there.
To be honest, for paddle surfers, this is a washout. If you’re into kite surfing, the bigger days with cross-on or cross-off wind and a bit of chop might be more your thing, but for a proper surf? Nothin’ 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.
