Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and tricky winds, so don’t expect any hero sessions. The real action doesn’t even start to build until the very end of the period, and even that’s a mixed bag.
Fox Hill Point is the only spot in the game, and it’s a reef setup that needs a decent SE swell to work. Right now, there’s just nothing doing. From Thursday the 9th all the way through to Sunday the 19th of July, it’s a total write-off – we’re talking a solid 10-day gap where the waves are tiny, the energy is weak (combined energy values mostly between 17 and 105), and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. There’s a brief moment early on Thursday morning the 9th where we get a clean 3ft swell from the ESE with a light offshore breeze, but the period is only 8 seconds and the energy is just 105 – it’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Don’t get excited.
The first real sign of life comes right at the end of the outlook. On Monday the 20th of July, the swell picks up – 5ft from the SSE with a 6-second period, and the energy jumps to 215 (moderate). That’s a big step up in size, but the period is short and the wind is onshore, making it pretty messy. By Monday afternoon, we’re looking at 6ft from the SSE and 309 energy, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. This is more size than quality – it’s going to be a bumpy, wind-affected mess.
Tuesday the 21st keeps the 5ft SSE swell with a 6-second period, but it’s still cross-onshore and pretty poor. Wednesday the 22nd offers the biggest raw energy of the whole run – 5ft from the SSE with a 7-second period, and a combined energy of 330 (moderate). But again, the wind is cross-onshore and the period is short, so it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy affair. That’s not a standout for a surfer; that’s a day for the kite crew if anything.
The only small window of hope is on Thursday the 23rd of July in the afternoon, when the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSW, and we get a clean 3ft from the SE. The swell is small, but at least the surface will be nice. Then on Friday the 24th of July morning, we get glassy conditions with a tiny 1ft SE swell and an energy of just 33. It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple.
Bottom line: There’s no standout, no “go now” moment. The best of a bad bunch is the small, clean window on the 23rd of July afternoon, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping. The bigger swells are all wind-affected and short-period. For a reef like Fox Hill Point, that’s not the recipe for a classic session. Hang tight, the forecasts might change, but right now it’s a tough watch.
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.
