The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ down the road at Fox Hill Point. And I’m gonna level with ya – there ain’t much to shout about. Over the next 16 days, it’s a long, flat stretch with barely a ripple worth paddling for. There’s a big gap of nothing, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right off the bat on Tuesday the 25th, we’ve got a tiny kneebiter: a 1ft SE swell, 11-second period. The combined energy is just (50). Water’s about average temp for this time of year, around 66°. Wind is offshore from the W at 6 mph, so it’s glassy clean... but there’s nothing to surf. It’s like a mirror out there.
Wednesday the 26th is more of the same fail. A 2ft ESE swell in the morning, but with a weak 9-second period and a cross-onshore breeze at 3 mph messing it up. By the afternoon, wind gets to 9 mph and the swell stays at 2ft – choppy and ordinary.
Thursday the 27th sees the swell bump to 3ft from the SE, period 8 seconds, combined energy at (125). But the wind switches to a cross-shore from the S at 9 mph, throwing a chop on it. A 3ft wave on a reef like this is still small, and with that cross-chop, it’s not clean.
Friday the 28th through the weekend is more of the same. Swell hangs in the 2ft to 3ft range, energy drops below 100, and we get risk of thunderstorms with light cross-off winds. The waves are there, but they’re ugly.
We finally see a little pulse on Wednesday the 9th of September. Swell hits 3ft from the ESE, period up to 10 seconds, combined energy at (171). Winds go offshore from the NW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. But that’s barely a rideable wave for an intermediate surfer. It’s the best of a bad lot, but don’t call it a standout. It’s just the least worst day.
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Swell never gets above 3ft, periods are short, and the energy is weak. Fox Hill needs a proper SE pulse and we aren’t getting one. Take this time to rest up, fix your gear, or just enjoy a flat calm paddle. It’s a dry spell for this spot, but it happens.
Stay patient. 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.
