The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming for Fox Hill Point. Let’s be straight with each other – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a tough watch. The forecast is offering up a real flat spell to start, with hardly any energy to get excited about.
We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. From Tuesday the 18th right through to the end of the month, the swell is hanging around the 1ft to 2ft mark, and the combined energy is mostly weak, sitting in the double digits (72 or less). The wind is a real problem too – it’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with a few brief windows of cleaner conditions, but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real flicker of hope doesn’t come until Saturday, the 29th of August. That morning, the wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell picks up just a touch to 3ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy finally jumps up to moderate (182). That’s a nice, clean morning window, but the waves are still small and the report says "surfable but very ordinary." It’s the best we’ve seen, but it’s not a stand-out.
Then, on Wednesday the 2nd of September, things get a little more interesting. The swell direction stays SE/ESE, but the period stretches out to a long 14 seconds. On Wednesday afternoon, we see a combined energy of 216 (moderate) with 2ft swell. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit rippled, but the long period means there’s some proper groundswell energy in the water. The problem is it’s still small. That long period will make the waves really fat and straight at a beach break, but Fox Hill Point is a reef, so it could wrap in a little better here. This is the most promising day in the whole forecast, but it’s a long way off, so keep your expectations in check.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 29th is your best bet for clean conditions. But for proper waves, we’re waiting until the 2nd of September, and even then it’s a marginal call. This is a tough run for the area.

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.
