The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Fox Hill Point.
Honestly, it's a pretty flat run for the next couple of weeks. The water is running a chilly 61°, which is a solid 5° colder than usual for this time of year – that's a pretty notable chill, so you'll want a good thick wetsuit.
We kick off Tuesday, July 28th, with tiny waves, but the wind is all over the place. The afternoon goes glassy, which is a tease, but the swell is a weak 3ft at a pathetic 4 seconds – just no energy there (64). The entire first week is a struggle. We see a little spike of energy on Thursday, July 30th, with a 8ft swell from the ENE, but it's got a short period and the combined energy (656) is moderate, but the wind is howling cross-shore at 16 mph. It's going to be a messy, choppy mess. For a reef break like Fox Hill, that's not doing anyone any favors.
The pattern of small, weak, and onshore or cross-shore wind just keeps rolling through the first week and into the second. There's a brief moment on Monday, August 3rd, with clean conditions and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft. It's a flat spell. The whole period from the end of July through to the second week of August looks like a write-off. The swell heights barely tickle 2ft, the periods are short, and the energy is weaker than a flat soda (values like 25, 21, 13).
There’s a little flicker of hope on August 10th with a clean offshore wind, but the swell is tiny. And then on August 11th, we get a very long period pulse of 16 seconds from the east, but it's only 0.3ft. That's a ghost swell. It's enough to make you want to cry.
There are no standouts here. The best of a bad bunch would be the afternoon of August 10th with that 3ft and a moderate offshore breeze, but at 4 seconds it's just wind chop. Or the glassy morning of August 11th, but again, 0.3ft. It's a stretch. For a reef that needs a decent SE swell with clean wind, we just don't have it. Save your energy and wax. This is a long, dry spell.
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.
