The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles.
Let’s get real about Fox Hill Point – it’s looking like a long, slow grind. The water is sitting at 62°F, which is about 5°F colder than normal for this time of year. You’ll be needing a thick wetsuit if you even think about a session.
For the next week and a half, it’s mostly flat and messy. On Wednesday the 29th of July, the morning brings a tiny 3ft swell from the SE with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s weak wind-slop with onshore wind. Forget it. Thursday the 30th shows more size, up to 6ft, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy, and the energy is still moderate at best (347). Not worth the paddle.
Friday the 31st calms down with a glassy 2ft wave in the afternoon, but with a 9-second period and energy of only 66, it’s just not enough to form a real wave. The weekend and early next week are a blur of tiny, weak surf with cross-shore or onshore winds. There’s a glassy morning on the 5th of August, but the swell is only 1ft.
Now, if you’re patient, there’s one real standout. On Monday the 10th of August, the morning looks clean and glassy with a 2ft swell. The period jumps to 13 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 185. That’s proper groundswell energy, even if the height is small. The glassy wind will make it look better than it is. This is your best chance, but it’s over a week away, so don’t book the day off yet.
On the 12th of August, the swell builds to 4ft with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 522 – that’s strong energy. The direction is SE, which is right on the money for Fox Hill Point. But the wind turns cross-onshore all day, so while there’s plenty of push, it won’t be clean. For an intermediate surfer, there could be a few decent ones in the mix, but you’ll have to deal with the chop.
So, to sum it up: there’s nothing worth a special trip until at least the 10th of August. Keep an eye on that window, but don’t hold your breath. The rest is a write-off.
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.
