The Lowdown

G’day, this is Rusty. I’ve had a good look at the forecast for Fox Hill Point, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch of days ahead, with only a couple of brief windows that might get your heart rate up.

The next couple of weeks start out very slow. From now, we’re looking at a long, flat run with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, with a weak combined swell energy (23 to 79), and conditions are pretty poor – lots of onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temp sits at 66°F, pretty much right on the money for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. Fox Hill Point is an exposed reef, intermediate-level, and it’s fairly consistent here normally, but in this window it’s barely twitching.

We go through the first full week with hardly a bump. Mornings with glassy wind on the 19th and 20th of August give you a tiny 2ft to 3ft SE swell, but the energy is weak (57-59) and periods are short (7-8 seconds), so those waves will be mushy and underwhelming. Not worth getting excited about.

The real talking point – and the only true standout in this 16-day outlook – is Sunday the 30th of August. We finally see a jump in swell energy, with combined values hitting 887 and 1089 through the day. Swell size comes up to 5ft from the SE, with a 15-second period in the morning and 12 seconds in the afternoon. That’s proper groundswell. The morning wind is a fresh cross-shore from the N at 19 mph, which is lumpy, but by the afternoon it eases to a gentle cross-shore breeze from the NNE at 9 mph, giving cleaner conditions. This is the one to pencil in, but remember, long-period swells like this can break a bit straight at exposed reefs if the direction isn’t spot-on, and Fox Hill Point gets best from SE, so it’s lined up well. It’s only rated as marginal on the afternoon thanks to tide or other factors, but if you’re keen, that’s your best shot.

After that, Monday the 31st of August morning looks clean – glassy calm, 3ft ESE swell with a 9-second period, and energy of 178. It’s surfable, but ordinary – you might get a few fun ones if you’re not fussy. The rest of the first week of September falls back into weak, small stuff with no real push.

Honestly, aside from that Sunday the 30th, there’s nothing that stands out. The wind is often onshore or cross, and the swell is just too small. Crowds at Fox Hill Point are often anyway, so if you do head out on the 30th or the 31st morning, expect company.

That’s the story for Fox Hill Point – a long flat spell, one promising Sunday, and a quiet Monday morning. Stay tuned, forecasts can change.

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.

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.
