Fox Hill Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The outlook is for Fox Hill Point, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. The optimum swell direction here is from the SE, so we’ll be keeping an eye on that.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a quiet start. Friday, the 4th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE with a short 7-second period, and the combined energy is weak (64). The wind is glassy, but the wave comment says it’s poor surf, so I wouldn’t get too excited. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are similar – small, weak, and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The energy on Sunday bumps up to moderate (158) with a 4ft swell from the ENE, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. Not the one.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are clean but tiny. We’re talking 1ft and 1.0ft swells, with energy dropping to 45 and 18. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s barely a ripple. A real struggle. Wednesday the 9th is even worse, with energy down to 10. We’ve got a gap of several days with nothing worth recommending.

Now, Thursday the 10th brings a change. We get a 3ft swell from the S, but with a short, choppy 6-second period. The wind is a clean cross-off, but the energy is still weak (87), and the wave comment is poor. Friday the 11th is the same story – clean wind, but the swell is small and weak.

The weekend of the 14th and 15th, we start to see a glimmer. Monday the 14th morning is glassy with a 2ft ESE swell, but it’s still weak (55). Tuesday the 15th morning is the first time we see a score of 1 out of 10, with the comment “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The swell is 3ft from the ESE, period 8 seconds, and the energy is 85. The wind is glassy, so it’s clean. This is the best we’ve got, but it’s still a far cry from good.

The rest of the second week is a bit of a washout. The swell gets tiny again, and the wind is often onshore or cross. The 17th and 18th bring some very long period groundswell (13 seconds) from the ESE, but it’s only 0.7ft, so it’s not doing anything. The energy is a bare 37.

So, the honest truth is this: over the entire 16-day window, we don’t have a single standout session. The surf is consistently poor, with small, weak swells and winds that are rarely favourable. The best option is Tuesday the 15th morning, where you’ll find glassy, clean 3ft waves from the ESE. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the only surfable moment in the whole run. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a real flat spell. Keep your fingers crossed for the next forecast.
