The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Fox Hill Point over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, this is a bleak stretch. The swell is tiny for the whole run, never pushing above 3 ft, and most of the time it’s hovering around 1 ft to 2 ft. The combined wave energy is weak, barely breaking 100 (values like 15, 22, 55, 87), so there’s just no power in the water. You’ll be waiting a long time for a ride that barely gets you moving.
The only sliver of hope comes on the 13th of August. Thursday afternoon, we get a clean 3 ft swell from the south with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s a short, weak windswell, but the wind is offshore from the west at 5 km/h, making it glassy. The water temperature is running a touch warmer than normal at 71°, which is a nice bonus. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the only surfable moment in the whole forecast. Fox Hill Point is a reef break, exposed to the SE, and with that tiny south swell, it might just offer a few little rights. Crowds are often here, so expect a few others with the same desperation.
After that, it’s a dead zone. From the 14th of August right through to the 27th of August, the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” on every single entry. The swell barely flickers, the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, and there’s nothing to get excited about. The 20th of August Thursday afternoon shows a 3 ft easterly swell with glassy conditions, but the period is only 5 seconds, and the energy is still weak (66). It’s still “poor surf conditions.” Don’t bother.
The wind is often light or moderate, so the ocean stays clean, but that doesn’t matter when there’s no swell. It’s a long, flat run. If you’re new to the sport, this is not the spot for you right now – there’s nothing to learn on. For the experienced crew, there’s just nothing to ride.
So, save the petrol. The only worthwhile window is Thursday afternoon, the 13th of August, for a tiny, clean, glassy session. Otherwise, this is a write-off.
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.
