The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Fox Hill Point. There's not a single decent session on the cards, and that's a hard pill to swallow.
Let's break it down. The whole run starts with a nothing burger. Friday the 21st through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and the energy is weak. You're looking at tiny waves, mostly cross-onshore slop, and a lot of frustration. The combined swell energy is in the doldrums, mostly between 13 and 131 (131 is the highest, but even that's only moderate and comes with messy conditions). The water temp is about 66°, which is normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're sitting there doing nothing.
We get a tiny bit of hope on Monday the 24th afternoon. The wind goes offshore, clean, and the swell period jumps to 11 seconds – that's a proper groundswell. But the height is only 1 ft. The energy is moderate (109), but it's not enough to do anything with. It's a tease. Then Tuesday the 25th gives us more offshore wind, but the swell stays microscopic. The whole week after that is a write-off. The wind is all over the place, the swell is flat, and the energy is pathetic.
Into the second week – September 1st and 2nd – the wind looks clean, offshore or cross-off, but the swell is even smaller. 0.7 ft to 1 ft. That's just bumpy flatness. The rest of the outlook is more of the same: tiny, weak, and choppy. The combined energy for the whole 16 days rarely breaks 100, and most of it is in the double digits.
Look, Fox Hill Point is a reef break that's fairly consistent, but this forecast is a total bust. The only positive is that there's a tiny window of clean conditions around the 24th-25th, but the swell is so small it's not worth paddling out for. For the rest, the conditions are so poor, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's just one of those runs. Don't bin your board, but you might as well save the wax.
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.
