The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk Fox Hill Point.
Truth is, the first week and a half looks poor. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny surf with no real energy, so you’re looking at about 9 days where you’re better off doing something else. Swell heights are under 2 feet, and the combined energy is in the single digits to low 30s – basically nothing. The wind has some clean moments on the 11th and 13th, but there’s no swell to ride. It’s a big gap with no recommendations.
Then around Tuesday, August 18th, we finally see a pulse. Morning brings 5ft easterly swell, building to 5ft in the afternoon. The combined energy jumps to 244 in the afternoon, so there’s some power. The period is short, around 7 seconds – so it’s lumpy windswell, not clean groundswell. Wind is light cross-onshore, so expect some chop. It’s marginal, but it’s the most interesting we’ve got.
The real highlight is Wednesday morning, August 19th. A 4ft easterly swell with 239 combined energy and an 8-second period. That’s decent grunt for this spot. But the wind is onshore from the ENE, which will mess up the face. Fox Hill Point is a reef break that’s exposed to the east, so the direction works, but that wind is a killer. The afternoon drops to 3ft and gets cross-onshore.
So, there’s no clean, epic session on the cards. The best call is that Tuesday afternoon, August 18th, if you’re keen and don’t mind a bit of chop. For the rest, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts change, so stay tuned.
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.
