The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here.

Alright, look, I've been staring at the charts for Fox Hill Point, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough run ahead. This is a reef setup that needs a clean SE swell, but the ocean just isn't playing ball for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any real surf to speak of.

The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least a session won't be a shock to the system.

The first real chance of something surfable doesn't pop up until Sunday the 30th of August. The conditions are glassy in the morning with a light offshore from the NW, but we're only looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE. The combined energy is a weak 78, and while it's clean, it's just not enough to get excited about. It's a "surfable but very ordinary" situation.

Then we get a bit of a boost on Monday the 31st of August. The afternoon session sees the swell energy jump to 145, but the wave height is still a meager 3 ft. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze, so it's going to be a bit choppy. Not great.

Things get a little more interesting heading into the start of September. On Tuesday the 1st of September, we've got a clean, cross-offshore wind and a 3 ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is a moderate 176, suggesting a bit more push. It's still small, but it's the cleanest we've seen all week. The same goes for the afternoon, with clean conditions and a 138 energy reading. Honestly, it's the best of a bad bunch.

After that, it's back to the same old story. The wind swings around to the east and north-east, and the swell becomes messy and onshore. The period for the 2nd of September is a long 11 seconds, which would normally be great for a reef, but with the wind on it, it's just gonna be a choppy mess.

Forget about any big swells – the energy briefly climbs to 385 on the 27th of August, but that's a short-period, wind-driven 7 ft beast from the ENE with a cross-shore wind. That's not surf, that's a washing machine. The total energy is high, but the quality is zero. It's worth noting that the swell on the 27th and 28th is over 5 ft, so it's not for beginners, and the 7 ft day is strictly for experts only.

Best of the worst? It's got to be the morning of Sunday the 30th of August, purely for the glassy conditions, and the clean conditions on Tuesday the 1st of September. But don't go paddling out expecting much. It's a reef, so it needs a bit of size to work, and we just don't have it.

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.
