The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Fox Hill Point, and I’ve got to be honest – it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t mean much when the swell just isn’t showing up. The water’s sitting at 64°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit if you’re even thinking about getting in.
Right now, and for the entire 16-day window, it’s a long stretch of nothing. There’s a big gap right from the start with no surf worth mentioning. The first few days are a write-off: Sunday, 2nd August, we’ve got a tiny 1.0ft SE swell (9-second period) with a gentle cross-shore breeze and combined energy of just 29 (weak). That’s poor surf and a score of 0 out of 10. Monday, 3rd August, brings a bit more size – 3ft to 6ft SSE swell – but the period is a short 5 to 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-off. It’s clean, but the energy is still weak (62) to moderate (301) and the forecast is marginal at best. Tuesday, 4th August, has some offshore winds (WNW 9 mph, then W 6 mph) on a tiny 2ft to 2ft swell, but it’s just too small to bother with. The rest of the week and into the second week is the same story – tiny swells, weak energy, and nothing that breaks the “poor surf conditions” label.
The standout moments? Honestly, there aren’t any. The closest we get to anything interesting is Monday afternoon, 3rd August, with a 6ft SSE swell and a 7-second period, with clean conditions from a cross-off wind. But the energy is only moderate (301) and the forecast is marginal. Tuesday morning, 4th August, has a nice gentle offshore wind (WNW 9 mph) and clean conditions, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s a tease. There’s no point in the whole 16 days where the swell direction matches the optimum SE direction for Fox Hill Point, and the size never gets above 6ft. For a reef break that’s exposed, this is a long, flat spell.
Given the tiny swell, clean but weak conditions, and the reef setup, this is more of a rest period for the surfboard. It’s a blank run, but don’t stress – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this quiet forever. For now, I’d say save your energy and check back in a week or two.
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.
