The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m calling it straight from the beach for Fox Hill Point. Let’s be honest, I’ve stared at this forecast and it’s a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day stretch that’s about as flat as a lake, and the waiting game is real.
The whole period from August 7th right through to August 22nd is a brutal run of poor surf. The wave energy is basically non-existent. The highest combined energy I see all month is a weak 88 (88) on the 20th, and that’s with a choppy, short-period wind swell. That’s not surfing, that’s a washing machine. There’s a long gap here with almost nothing on offer. For the first week, from the 7th to the 14th, you’d be lucky to get a knee-high ripple. The swell heights just sit between 0.3 ft and 1 ft from the SE, with periods that are mostly short and weak. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a wetsuit is a must.
The closest thing to a highlight, and I use that term loosely, is the afternoon of August 20th. We get a bump up to 4 ft from the SSE, but the period is a miserable 4 seconds. That’s pure wind chop. The wind is from the north at 12 mph, creating a messy cross-shore chop. It’s not a paddle-out you’ll enjoy. Then on the morning of August 22nd, we get a dead calm, glassy morning with 2 ft of swell from the SSE. The combined energy is still a weak 46 (46). It’s clean, but the power just isn’t there to push a decent wave. For a beginner, the swell is small enough, but the quality is so poor it’s not worth the drive.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, if you’re looking to surf, you’re better off waiting for a better forecast. For a reef break like Fox Hill Point, the lack of consistent groundswell and the constant onshore winds mean the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now. Keep your board in the car and watch the horizon.

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.
