Fox Hill Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. To be honest, the surf is looking pretty gutless for the most part. We’ve got a lot of tiny, short-period junk that’s not gonna get anyone too excited. The swell energy is mostly weak, with values hanging around in the single digits to the 20s and 30s, like 8 or 26. There’s a brief pulse of energy around the 17th, kicking up to 300, but it’s still pretty weak and disorganized. Don’t expect any hero waves just yet.

Starting off this Sunday the 9th, it’s flat out pathetic. A tiny 0.7ft SSE windswell with a 7-second period and only 8 units of energy. You’re better off staying home. The water temp is 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice when you’re sitting there doing nothing.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are more of the same—nothing but knee-high dribble. A bit of light wind in there, but it’s all cross-onshore or just messy. No real push.

We finally see a little bump on Wednesday the 12th, with a bit more energy (18) but still tiny at 0.3ft. Clean, but not surfable. Thursday the 13th shows a slight increase to 2ft, but it’s still a short-period swell. The wind is cross-off and clean, which is something, but it’s not enough to get out of bed for.

The morning of Saturday the 15th is looking glassy and clean, but with that 0.7ft of swell and 24 energy, it’s still basically flat. The afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-shore breeze, so that's that.

Now, here’s where things get a little more interesting. On Monday the 17th, we get a jump up to 5ft. The energy cranks to 300, which is the most we see all period. The period is a dismal 7 seconds though, so it’s going to be pretty crumbly. The wind is cross-off and clean at Fox Hill Point, which is a big plus. It’s the best looking window we have, but it's still looking marginal at best.

The rest of that week stays weak and underwhelming. We see some cleaner conditions, some glassy mornings, but the swell is just too small and inconsistent. The 19th has a 4ft bump with a 5-second period and 130 energy, but it's just short-period wind slop.

We round out the second week with more of the same. Nothing gets above 2ft until the 22nd afternoon, which sees 4ft but again, with a poor 5-second period. The wind is cross-onshore and choppy, which makes it look more like a kite session than a surf. For the most part, this stretch is a write-off.

Look, it’s not the most inspiring outlook. We’ve got a lot of days with no real recommendations, and a long stretch of flatness from around the 9th through the 16th. That Monday the 17th is the standout, but it’s still a long way out, so treat it as promising but not guaranteed. Keep the hopes in check, but don’t write the whole window off just yet. Forecasts can change.

Rusty.
