Lawrencetown Right Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m lookin’ at the 16-day window for Lawrencetown Right Point, and I gotta be straight with you—this is a rough stretch. We’re starting on Wednesday, August 5th, and right off the bat, it’s a cross-on wind from the WSW at 12 mph, with a weak 4 ft swell from the SW at just 8 seconds. That combined energy is sitting at a meager 196, and the water temp is 62°F with only a 0.7°F anomaly—about average for the time of year. Honestly, it's pretty ordinary, and the surf quality is poor.

The next few days don’t get much better. Thursday the 6th has a tiny 2 ft swell from the SSW in the morning, but at least the wind swings WNW at 6 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off look. It’s surfable, but very small. Friday morning the 7th is glassy—dead calm—but that swell drops to just 2 ft at 6 seconds (energy 33). There’s hardly any push.

We roll into the weekend, August 8th and 9th, with the same story: tiny swell in the 2 ft to 2 ft range, poor energy (26 to 34), and onshore or cross-shore winds. Nothing worth paddling out for. Monday the 10th sees a little bump in the afternoon—3 ft from the SW, 7 seconds, but it’s onshore at 9 mph from the south, making it messy.

Then on Tuesday the 11th, we get a pulse. Tuesday afternoon: 7 ft from the SW at 7 seconds, with combined energy hitting 368. But the wind is cross-onshore from the SW at 16 mph, and conditions are choppy. That’s heavy for what’s on offer, and the rating tells me it’s poor. Too much wind, not enough shape.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are back to small, weak surf—2 ft to 3 ft—with mostly clean but tiny conditions. Friday the 14th is nothing to write home about.

Now, here’s a little spark: Saturday morning, August 15th, the wind goes offshore from the NNW at 16 mph, with a 2 ft swell from the S at 6 seconds. It’s small, but that offshore wind will make it glassy and clean. The energy is only 64, so it’s weak, but it’s surfable and very ordinary—maybe a log day if you’re desperate.

The real standout, if you can call it that, shows up on Thursday, August 20th. This is more than two weeks out, so take it with a grain of salt. The morning shows a 10 ft swell from the SSW at 8 seconds—energy 967, which is strong—and the afternoon is the same, 10 ft with energy 981. That is *big* for this break. Over 8 ft means it’s expert territory only. Wind is light cross-on from the SW or light rain, but the file says wind and tide are favorable. The issue? It’s predicted to be too big for this break. That’s the only time in the whole forecast where we see any real power, but it’s not for the faint of heart—or for most surfers.

So, for the best on offer: ignore the first two weeks. The only true standout is Thursday, August 20th, with that solid 10 ft SSW swell pumping—but it’s for experts only, and it’s far out so don’t book your trip yet. Before that, Saturday morning the 15th with the offshore wind is the only clean, quiet moment on tiny waves.

Honestly, this is a long dry spell. From August 5th through the 19th, there’s barely anything worth paddling for—just a few hours of clean but tiny surf. It’s a tough run, but that’s how it goes sometimes. The end of the window shows a flicker of hope. Keep an eye on it.
