The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be real. The next 16 days are looking lean. Real lean. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth suiting up for, and the few pulses that do show up are going to test your patience. The water’s 70.3°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so a paddle’s still nice if you just want to cool off.
Your first real chance is Thursday the 13th. The morning’s dead, but the afternoon goes glassy with a building 4.6ft swell from the south (period 5 seconds). That’s our first pulse, with the combined energy at 113 (moderate). It’s not big, but it’s clean. Fox Hill Point (Big Island) is where you’ll want to be. That’s a standout, but it’s marginal.
Then it’s back to square one. The next few days are tiny and pretty much useless. There’s a little energy building around the 18th and 19th, but the winds are mostly onshore or cross, keeping things messy. The morning of Wednesday the 19th has the biggest pulse – 3ft from the southeast with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 225 (moderate to strong). But the wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect. Still, it’s the biggest, cleanest-looking swell of the entire stretch. If you’re keen, that’s the one to circle. The southeast direction is right in the sweet spot for Fox Hill Point.
After that, the end of the month is more of the same – small, inconsistent, and mostly side-shore or cross-on winds. The morning of the 22nd has a small window with light wind and a 2ft swell, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
So, the long and short of it is: don’t get your hopes up. There are two marginal windows – Thursday afternoon the 13th and Wednesday morning the 19th – and the 19th is probably your best bet, but even that’s a "maybe." The rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else. It’s just one of those runs.
Stay salty.

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.
