The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what’s on offer at Fox Hill Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 9-day gap with no real surf to speak of. From the 16th right through to the 24th of July, it’s mostly tiny, weak dribble or just plain messy. The swell energy is way down, with readings mostly under 100 (weak energy), and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." You’ll see a few little pulses of swell on the 18th, hitting 5ft, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop with no power. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, if you’ve got patience, there’s a glimmer of hope right at the end of the month. Saturday the 25th of July is the only real standout in this whole forecast. The morning is looking mint. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell coming from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, meaning better shaped waves and more energy. The combined energy cranked up to 311 (moderate), and the wind is forecast to be glassy. That’s the magic word. Absolutely zero wind, so the surface will be like a mirror. It’s going to be clean, lined up, and the best conditions we’ll see.
Sunday the 26th has a bit of size too, with 5ft to 6ft, and the energy is strong (550 in the afternoon). But the wind is shifting onshore or cross-shore, and there’s a chance of rain. It’s a marginal call, but nowhere near the quality of that Saturday morning glass-off.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 67°, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The rest of the second week looks like a return to small, weak, and onshore conditions. A few mixed signals, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing.
So, bottom line: if you’re a surfer, you’re waiting for that Saturday morning window. It’s the only real standout. Everything else is a hard pass. The reef at Fox Hill Point can work well, and it’s fairly consistent, but this forecast is a test of patience. I’d say keep an eye on it, because the glassy conditions on the 25th could be a special little session.
Stay frothy,
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.
