The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Fox Hill Point. It’s a reef that’s fairly consistent, but I ain’t gonna lie—the immediate outlook is pretty flat and messy. We got a solid dry spell for the first week or so, with weak pulses and a lot of cross or onshore winds messing up what little energy we have. Keep the board in the car for now, but don’t sulk too hard, there’s a hint of something better down the line, though it’s a ways off.
The first week is a total write-off. From Tuesday the 25th through the end of the month, it’s all knee-high dribble, mostly 0.4m to 0.9m, with a short period. The energy is weak, with the combined swell energy sitting in the low double digits, like 54 or 64. Winds are cross, cross-on, or just light and clean, which doesn’t matter with waves that small. Even that glassy moment on Wednesday morning the 26th with a 0.6m ESE swell—the period is only 9 seconds, so it’s dead. Poor surf is the story for the whole stretch. Thursday afternoon bumps up to 1.4m, but it’s got a cross wind and t-storm risk, so it’s not a go.
The start of September doesn’t change much. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st have some offshore winds, giving a cleaner surface, but the swell is tiny (0.4m) and the period is a weird mix of short and then a long 14-15 seconds. That long period on tiny waves at a reef might get a couple of fun ones, but it’s still not a proper session. The energy is still low, around 100 (like 108 on Tuesday morning). We’re stuck with ankle-biters and ordinary conditions. The second week through the 4th is more of the same—small ESE swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and nothing to get stoked about. Realistically, from the 25th all the way through the 4th, that’s a ten-day gap with no recommendations.
Then, check this out. Saturday the 5th of September is where it gets interesting. Morning shows 1.1m of SE swell with an 11-second period and a light offshore W wind. Afternoon is the same size, 10-second period, and a moderate WNW offshore breeze. The energy jumps right up to 268 (morning) and 248 (afternoon), which is a solid, punchy pulse for this reef. This is the standout of the window. The wind is offshore, the direction is right, and there’s some push to it. It’s not huge, but on a reef like this with that clean flow, it should set up some nice lines. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but because it’s more than a week out, treat it as promising, not guaranteed.
After that, it fades quick. Sunday the 6th drops back to 0.8m, and Monday the 7th is small again. The period drops to 8-9 seconds, so the quality goes south. The last couple of days, Tuesday and Wednesday the 8th and 9th, are a total washout—weak onshore winds and 0.4m slop. No chance.
So here’s the deal: first ten days, don’t bother. Save yourself for that Saturday the 5th window. It’s got potential, but it’s a long-range call, so keep your expectations tempered. Fox Hill Point (Surf Coast) is a fairly consistent reef, so it’ll come alive when the swell shows. Water temp is 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a wetsuit is still needed.
Rusty out.

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.
