The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Fox Hill Point.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of barely anything happening from now, through the middle of August, and into the following week. From early Tuesday morning, August 11th, right through to late on Saturday, August 22nd, the surf is pretty much flat or offers only tiny, weak, poor-quality waves. That’s a solid 11-day gap where you’d be wasting your time. The combined swell energy barely gets into triple digits, and even then it’s a measly 20 or so. There’s just no push.
The only flicker of life shows up around Monday, August 17th. A bit of swell bumps up to about 6 ft from the SSE, but with a short period of only 6 seconds and a combined energy reading of 254 (moderate), it’s a messy, junky wave. The wind is cross-offshore and clean on the Monday morning, but the swell is a short-period, disorganized lump. It’s really only for experienced surfers who are desperate for a paddle. Tuesday, August 18th, sees a 4 ft swell from the NE but with onshore wind, making it even less appealing.
Then we get a bit more hope later. On Wednesday morning, August 19th, there’s about 3 ft of swell from the SE with a long period of 12 seconds (groundswell) and cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 173 – moderate. It’s surfable but ordinary. Then Thursday morning, August 20th, brings the best of a bad bunch: about 3 ft of SE swell with a 10-second period and clean offshore wind from the west. Combined energy hits 174 (moderate). It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s the cleanest, most lined-up option in this entire outlook. For a true standout, that’s your window – but keep expectations low.
After that, it all fizzles out again into tiny, onshore junk for the rest of the run into late August. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
If you’re a kiteboarder, the stronger winds and wind-affected surf days around the 17th and 18th might look more interesting than anything a surfer would want to paddle into.

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.
