The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what Fox Hill Point has in store.
The water is sitting about 63°, which is a couple of degrees cooler than the usual for this time of year, so don't be afraid to layer up.
We're starting off with a flat spell. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are pretty much a bust. You're looking at tiny, weak waves (energy around 25-32) with messy cross-shore breezes. You'll be battling chop, not riding clean lines. Not worth the effort.
Things perk up on Wednesday morning, the 22nd. The swell builds to about 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 7 seconds, and the winds are cross-offshore. The energy jumps to 355 (moderate), but it's still a bit iffy. The real standout is Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd. The swell hits about 6ft from the SSE, the period stretches to 8 seconds, and the wind goes offshore from the WSW with a light breeze. The energy is up to 709 (strong), and it's looking clean. This is the best wave of the forecast period. That offshore wind will keep the faces smooth, and the reef will handle that size well. It's definitely one for the intermediate crew and above.
Thursday the 23rd, the swell drops to about 4ft from the SE, but the morning still has clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze. It's a surfable option for a quick session, but nothing special. Thursday afternoon cleans up with a nice offshore wind, but the swell is only 3ft, so it's pretty ordinary.
From Friday the 24th through the end of the month, it's a long, slow stretch. The swell drops off, mostly under 3ft, with weak energy (mostly under 100) and persistent cross-onshore winds. There are a couple of glassy windows, like on the 29th and 30th, but the swell is tiny (around 2ft to 3ft) and weak. You could get a log out for some soft rollers, but it's not going to get you fired up.
The first week of August is more of the same. The swell stays small and inconsistent, with only a few weak pulses. The morning of Sunday the 4th has a nice offshore wind, but the swell is only 1ft. It's a long, quiet period.
So, the bottom line is: Fox Hill Point has one clear winner, and that's Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July. The 6ft SSE groundswell with offshore winds is the session to circle on the calendar. The rest of the 16 days is mostly small, weak, and not worth the rush. Crowds are often a factor here, but on that Wednesday, the quality will be worth sharing the lineup for.
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.
