The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cookin' at Fox Hill Point for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be honest, it's a tough watch. We've got a long stretch of ankle-biters and tricky breezes, not a whole heap to get the heart pumping.
The big picture is quiet. For the first week and a half, we're looking at surf that mostly stays below 3 feet. The combined energy is weak, barely hitting triple digits most of the time (we're talking 83, 108, 65). The swell is coming from the SE to ESE, which is the right direction for this spot, but there's just no size behind it. The water temp is sitting about where it should be for late August, nothing weird there.
We kick off on Saturday, August 22nd, with a messy cross-onshore wind and a tiny 2 to 3 foot swell. That's a skip. Sunday and Monday are a bit cleaner, especially Monday afternoon when we get a light cross-offshore breeze, but the waves are only about 2 foot. You could paddle out, but you'd be working for it.
The brightest spot in this whole run comes on Wednesday, August 26th. The morning is glassy with a light offshore breeze from the west and a clean 2 foot swell. The pick of the day, though, is the afternoon. The wind stays clean and cross-offshore, and the swell bumps up to 3 feet from the SE with a 9-second period. The energy reading is 100 – still on the low side, but it's as good as it gets. It's not a world-beater, but for a quiet Wednesday session, it's your best chance for a clean little wave.
After that, it's back to tiny, poor surf for days. We do get a spike on Monday, August 31st, with a 5 foot swell from the SSE, but it's short-period, only 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore. The energy hits 155, still in the moderate-low range. It's the biggest push of the whole two weeks. For the experienced guys, the clean conditions might make for a few punchy, if a bit crumbly, waves.
The rest of the stretch into early September is basically flat, with waves under 2 feet. If you've got the itch, you're going to have to wait.
So, the bottom line: there's no real standout. Your best bets are Wednesday, August 26th afternoon for a clean, small wave, or Monday, August 31st for a bigger, more challenging session. Otherwise, it's 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.
