Fox Hill Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s happening at Fox Hill Point for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a lean run. Most of the 16-day period is flat, weak, or messy. There’s nothing that jumps out as a classic day. The water temp is about 69°F, which is normal for this time of year – no surprises there.

The first few days are a bust. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are tiny, with waves around 1ft and no real energy. The only nice thing is the wind is very light or glassy at times, but with swell that small, you’re just floating.

We get a little pulse on Thursday the 10th morning. The swell picks up to about 3ft from the SSE, with a clean 12 mph offshore wind from the west. It’s surfable, but the combined energy is low at 77, and the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much drive. That’s probably your best window in the first week, but it’s a weak offering.

After that, it’s back to tiny waves – mostly 0.5ft to 2ft – through the end of the first week and into the second. A small bump shows up on Monday the 14th afternoon, with the swell hitting about 6ft from the SSE and combined energy at 268 – moderate energy. The period is still short at 7 seconds, but the wind is clean and off the shore. That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but the quality is just marginal. At over 5ft, it’s too much for beginners, but for experienced surfers it might offer a few corners if the wind cooperates.

After that, it’s back to tiny, poor conditions through to the end of the 16 days. There’s a long stretch after the 14th with nothing worth mentioning. A few days bring longer-period swell (13 seconds on the 17th), but the waves are only 0.5ft, so it’s all tease and no ride.

So here’s the call: Thursday the 10th morning for a clean but small session, or Monday the 14th afternoon for a bigger, more dicey option. Beyond that, you’re better off leaving the board in the car.

Rusty.
