The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Fox Hill Point. This reef break is usually pretty consistent, but the next two weeks are looking mostly flat and messy. We’re going to have a long gap with no decent surf on offer. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re waiting.
Looking at the immediate forecast, the next few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to about Wednesday the 2nd of September, the swell is tiny – mostly around 1ft to 2ft. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, and the wave energy is weak, ranging from a paltry 11 to 111 (that’s weak to low-moderate energy). Even though we get a brief moment of clean conditions with a light offshore on Friday afternoon, the swell is just too small to bother with. There’s really nothing to get excited about.
Now, things start to look a little different on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SE in the morning, and then jumps to a solid 7ft from the SE in the afternoon. The energy ramps up big time to 329 (moderate-strong energy), but here’s the catch: the wind is onshore and then cross-onshore, and the period is a short 5-6 seconds. That wind and short period are going to make it choppy and pretty ugly. At 7ft, this is getting into expert-only territory, and with the messy conditions, it’s not the kind of day most of us will enjoy.
The following days from Thursday the 3rd to Saturday the 5th of September keep some size, with swell around 3ft to 5ft from the ESE and E. The energy stays moderate (100 to 223), but again, it’s all cross-onshore wind and short period (7-8 seconds). It’s going to be bumpy and hard to get a good wave.
After that, it really drops off again. From Sunday the 6th of September onward, we’re back to tiny, weak surf – 1ft to 2ft, with very low energy (mostly under 55). The wind does turn offshore and cross-offshore at times later in the second week, especially on the 10th and 11th of September, giving us clean conditions. But with barely any swell, it’s just not worth paddling out.
The only standout, and I use the term loosely, is the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd of September. If you’re an expert and you really need to get wet, you might find some power in that 7ft SE swell, but be ready for a battle with the cross-onshore wind and chop. For everyone else, save your energy. There’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth the drive.
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.
