The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you. Straight up, the next 16 days at Fox Hill Point are a write-off. There’s no sugarcoating it. The finder is coming back with zero recommendations, and when I look at the guidance, it’s all a big fat zero. The swell energy is just puny, barely cracking double digits most of the time, and the wave comments are all “poor surf conditions.”
Starting from Friday the 7th of August, we’ve got a glassy morning with a tiny 1ft SE swell, but the period is a short, weak 7 seconds. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a bit colder than normal for the time of year. The combined energy is a measly 18, so there’s just no push. It’s the same story through the weekend. Saturday morning has 1.0ft SE swell with a combined energy of 13, and Sunday morning drops to 0.7ft SSE. The wind is light and glassy or offshore, but with that little swell, it’s like trying to surf a puddle.
We hit a bit of a wall from Monday the 10th through to Wednesday the 19th of August. The swell bump for the afternoon of Sunday the 16th sees a jump to 5ft SSE, with a combined energy of 120 (finally, some moderate energy), but the period is a short, crumbly 5 seconds. Then Monday the 17th morning has a similar 5ft SE swell and a combined energy of 183, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW. That’s the biggest energy we see, but the period is still only 7 seconds. It’s punchy, but not what you’d call quality. The wind is clean, but it’s not a standout. It’s still listed as “poor surf conditions.”
The last few days from Thursday the 20th of August to Saturday the 22nd are back to the tiny stuff. Saturday the 22nd morning has a glassy 0.7ft ESE swell with a period of 13 seconds, giving a combined energy of 31. That longer period means it’s got more shape, but it’s just too small to do anything with.
Honestly, this is a 16-day drought. Fox Hill is a reef break, exposed to the SE, and for the whole run, the swell is either too small, too short-period, or the wind is junk. It’s a classic case of the area going flat. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t even bother wetting a line, let alone paddling out.
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.
