The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the local forecast for the only spot that’s on the cards over the full 16-day period.
It’s a grim run for the most part, to be honest. The whole window is a long stretch of tiny, weak swell. We're looking at wave heights mostly below 3 feet throughout, with very low energy levels to back that up. We are talking about Fox Hill Point, a reef break, and it’s pretty quiet out there. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year.
The first real chance to even get near the water comes up on Sunday, 23rd August. It’s still nothing to write home about, but the morning offers up a glassy 3 ft swell from the SE. The energy is still weak (84), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to hold up into anything with shape, but the glassy surface makes it clean. That afternoon isn't much different, with 3 ft and the same glassy wind. Still ordinary, but at least it's surfable.
Monday the 24th of August is probably your best call for the whole period, but even that’s a bit of a stretch. The morning brings in a 3 ft SSE swell with a clean, offshore WSW breeze blowing at 9 mph. That offshore wind will scrub it up nicely at this reef. The energy is still weak at 93, and the period is short at 6 seconds, but for a fun little wave with no crowds, it’s the standout. The afternoon sees the swell drop right off.
Everything after that is downhill fast. From Monday afternoon through to the 4th of September, the swell drops below 2 ft for most days, with weak energy readings from 15 to 40. There are whispers of a slightly bigger 5 ft bump on the 26th of August, but it's paired with a nasty cross-shore wind and a period of just 5 seconds, making for a choppy, poor mess. You’d be better off on a kite than a paddle board that afternoon.
So, there you have it. A blank run for the most part. The only sliver of hope is that Monday morning, 24th August, at Fox Hill Point. Get it while it’s there.
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.
