Gather 'round, grab a coffee. Rusty here.
Alright, looking at the next 16 days for Fox Hill Point, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty flat and quiet run. There are no true standouts, no days where it all comes together. The pulse of swell is weak through the entire period, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 100 for most of it. The most energy we see is 260 (moderate) on the 6th of September, but that’s paired with an onshore wind and messy conditions. Water temp's sitting at 66°F with a tiny 0.4°F anomaly, so pretty much average for this time of year – not a factor.
The first recommendation doesn’t really come until the morning of the 7th of September, and even then it’s marginal. That’s a full 9-day gap with nothing surfable.
Let’s walk through it. From the 28th of August through to the 6th of September, it’s all "poor surf conditions" – tiny waves, wrong winds, or a combination of both. The 2nd of September afternoon shows a jump in height to 5ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, making it a messy, blown-out mess. That energy is 210 (moderate), but for paddle surfing, it’s not worth it. Kite surfers might find something there.
The morning of the 7th of September is the closest we get to a window. It’s glassy, with a 2ft swell from the E, period of 10 seconds, and the energy is 109 (weak). The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary." It’s clean because of the glassy wind, but the swell is tiny and weak. For a beginner, that 2ft is fine, and the glassy wind will make it look pretty, but there’s just no power. Fox Hill Point is a reef break, so the longish 10-second period is okay here, but with that little energy, the waves won’t have much push. For the sheer fact it’s the only morning that’s glassy with any swell, that’s the best on offer, but it’s a sad best.
After that, from the 8th of September onward, it’s back to tiny, weak swells and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The 9th and 10th of September have clean cross-offshore winds from the NW, but the swell is down to 1.0-1ft, with energy in the teens and 20s – absolutely flat.
Real talk: this is a blank run for the area. Fox Hill Point is fairly consistent, but when the swell windows are this small and the conditions are this poor, it’s a dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home for a week and a half.

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.
