Fox Hill Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty flat and forgettable run for the next two and a half weeks at Fox Hill Point. This reef setup is usually a fair bet when there’s some SE groundswell in the water, but the charts are showing a whole lot of nothing for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny waves and messy conditions.

The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday (8th and 9th) are pumping out barely a ripple – we’re talking 0.7ft to 1.0ft, short period, with poor surf across the board. The combined swell energy is pathetic, sitting between 12 and 50 – just weak all round. Winds are cross or onshore, so forget about any real quality.

Thursday the 10th mid-morning offers a brief flicker of hope. It’s still small, only 3ft, but the wind swings offshore from the W at 12 mph, leaving the surface clean. Combined energy is still low at 73, and the period is only 6 seconds, so it won’t have any push. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s more of a mental health paddle than a proper session.

From there, it’s more of the same. Friday the 11th has a tiny 1.0ft SE swell, but the wind is clean and cross-offshore, so at least the water looks nice. That’s about the only positive. The next few days are a struggle, with wind and swell never lining up.

We finally see a pulse of energy moving in on Tuesday the 15th of September. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the E, with combined swell energy hitting 214 – that’s moderate energy. But here’s the kicker: the wind is onshore from the E at 9 mph, and the period is a short 6 seconds. It’s going to be a messy, blown-out crumble. Not worth the drive unless you’re desperate for a paddle in some chop.

After that, it drops back into the doldrums. There’s a bit more activity around the 20th and 21st with some 3ft to 3ft S swells, and the winds look cleaner – offshore and cross-offshore. But the period is a weak 5 seconds, so it’ll be soft and gutless.

Honestly, the standout session, if you can call it that, is Thursday morning the 10th. It’s the only time we get a clean, offshore wind on a wave that’s even approaching rideable. But don’t expect any barrels – it’s a beginner-friendly ankle to knee-high day at best.

The rest of the 16-day run is a blank. There’s no second week highlight to get excited about. This is one of those stretches where the reef just isn’t in the game.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe take up fishing for a fortnight.

Rusty.
