The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming down the pipe.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off with tiny, weak surf and not much energy behind it. You’ll be waiting until Saturday the 22nd of August to see anything that’s even worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s only just getting there.
Fox Hill Point is the only game in town, and it’s a reef setup that’s exposed to the south-east. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – just a pleasant little bonus for the long wait.
From Wednesday the 12th through to Friday the 21st, it’s a flat spell. Swell heights are barely a ripple, mostly 0.3ft to 1ft, with the odd morning of glassy conditions or light offshore winds. The combined energy is stuck in the teens and twenties, barely cracking 50 (12-59). There’s just nothing doing. You’d be better off cleaning your wax out of the car.
There’s a slight flicker on Sunday the 16th with a tiny 3ft swell from the south-south-east, but the period is a short, weak 4 seconds – no push, no shape. It’s not worth getting excited about.
Then we get to Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning brings a modest 4ft swell from the south-south-east, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally bumps up to a moderate 142. The wind is glassy – calm, clean conditions. It’s the best we’ve got in the whole run, and it’s the only real standout. The waves will be surfable, but ordinary. This is a reef break, so the short period won’t do it many favours, but on a glassy morning, it’ll be rideable. The crowds can be an issue here, so get in early.
After that, the energy drops back down into the 20s and 30s, with a tiny 1ft on Sunday the 23rd morning, and a bit of a bump on Monday the 24th with a 3ft from the north-east, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy.
Honestly, that Saturday morning is your only real window. The rest of the forecast is a waiting game.
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.
