The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the surf outlook for you. Let's be straight up – it's a bit of a tough stretch ahead for Fox Hill Point. This is a reef break that's exposed to SE swells, and it's a fairly consistent spot, but the charts are showing a long, quiet period.
We're starting off with a real dud. From Tuesday the 11th right through until the morning of Sunday the 16th, we're looking at days of flat, near-zero swell. The combined energy barely registers, sitting at 5 to 25 – that's about as weak as it gets. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only bright spot.
Things finally start to stir on the morning of Monday the 17th. We see a pulse of swell arrive, pushing up to 4 ft from the SE. The combined energy jumps to 119 (moderate), so it's not a total loss. The period is a short 6 seconds though, which means it'll be a bit of a lumpy, wind-swell affair. The morning has a gentle cross-shore from the NNE, which won't do much for the shape. It's still listed as poor surf conditions, so don't get your hopes up.
The middle of the week from the 18th shows a bit more energy, with combined swell energies climbing to 107 and then 134 on the 19th. The swell hovers around 2 ft from the SE, with the period stretching out to a longer 12 seconds on the 19th. That longer period will give the waves more push, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, adding some chop. It's still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions."
Thursday the 20th morning is a standout, but only in a relative sense. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is 2 ft from the SE with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 96. It's a score of 1 out of 10, which is the best we see in the whole 16-day window. This is the moment to sneak in for a few clean, small waves if you're desperate.
The end of the period from the 21st to the 26th is a slow fade. The swell drops back to 2 ft, and the periods shorten up again. The winds are a mix of cross-off and cross, so the conditions will be clean for a paddle, but the lack of size and energy is the main story. The combined energy dips back down to the 30-80 range, confirming the weak, trailing nature of the swell.
Ultimately, Fox Hill Point is a fairly consistent break, but it's going through a dry spell. The only real highlight is the Thursday the 20th morning with that glassy wind, offering a slim chance for a few clean, small reef waves. For the rest of it, you're better off waiting for the next proper swell.
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.
