The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Kianga Point over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start for the old point. The beginning of the outlook is a bit of a write-off with surfable waves but very ordinary conditions. We’ve got a few days of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore wind, so honestly, not much to get excited about. Thursday morning, the 6th of August, is glassy with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE, but the energy is a measly (49), so you’re really just getting a knee-high dribble. The water’s sitting at 62°F which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday, the 10th of August. Monday afternoon is the standout. We’ve got fresh offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, swinging it clean, and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NE. The energy is a solid (528) – that’s moderate, but it’ll feel punchy for the size. That’s a proper session if you can get out there. The morning’s a bit more wind-affected, but the afternoon is the pick.
Now, the next one to circle is Friday, the 14th of August. The afternoon sees a clean 6ft southerly swell with a period of 10 seconds and a chunky (917) energy reading. It’s cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s a solid wave, but at 6ft, it’s getting a bit much for beginners. For the experienced crew, that’s a good one.
The following week is pretty mixed. We get a bit of a pulse on the 20th of August with a 3ft southerly swell, but the wind is messy and cross-onshore, so it’s not worth the paddle. The real highlight of the second week might be Friday, the 21st of August morning. It’s a clean 4ft swell from the south, light cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph, and the energy is (290). It’s not huge, but it’s clean and surfable. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 7ft from the S, but it’s cross-on, so it’ll be lumpy. That 7ft is only for the experts.
Overall, the best sessions are Monday the 10th afternoon and Friday the 14th afternoon. The 14th has the biggest clean energy, but the 10th has the best wind. For a point break, that long-period groundswell on the 14th (10 seconds) will wrap nicely, but it’ll be a bit more powerful. Get on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Kianga Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kianga Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kianga Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kianga 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 (Kianga 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 Kianga 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.
