The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for Fox Hill Point. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is a real tough one. There’s barely a whisper of proper swell for the whole run, and the conditions are mostly messy or just plain flat. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap here.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 30th has a pulse of 6ft ENE swell, but it’s a short-period 6-second wind swell, and the NNE wind is howling at 16 mph, making it a cross-onshore chop. The combined swell energy is 307, which is moderate, but the quality is just poor. That’s a no-go from the start.
Friday morning the 31st is the only real glimmer of hope. The wind drops to dead calm, and we get a glassy, flat ocean. The swell collapses to 2ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 163. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the cleanest surf you’ll see all window. If you’re desperate, you could get a few long, slow ones on a log. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
From Friday afternoon, it’s a grim slide. The swell drops to 1ft or less, and the wind is either cross-on or cross-shore, with choppy conditions. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are just poor. The combined energy for those days is a very weak 29 to 88, which is essentially flat. The only saving grace is that on Tuesday the 4th, and again on Thursday the 6th, the wind shifts to a clean cross-off, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft to 1.0ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same. We see a couple of glassy mornings on the 7th, 11th, and 12th of August, where the wind is calm, but the swell is a tiny 0.7ft to 2ft, with periods all over the place. The combined energy never gets above 57. The second week is a total washout, with heights barely reaching 3ft on the 13th, and that’s with a 4-second period – pure chop.
The water is sitting at 63°, which is a notable 4° colder than average for this time of year. It’s a bit colder than normal, so bring a thicker suit.
Honestly, Friday morning the 31st is your best bet, and that’s a low bar. It’s the only time you’ll find clean, glassy conditions. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
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.
