The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and knots.
Honestly, the outlook is a dud. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a ripple that’s worth getting wet for. The whole stretch is dominated by tiny, weak waves and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds, so you’ll be staring at a lot of flat water. There are long gaps of several days with no surf at all—just poor conditions one after another.
The only break on the map is Long Point. It’s a fairly consistent, intermediate point break that’s exposed to SW swell, and that’s its best direction. But the numbers tell the story: the swell is a joke. On Thursday morning, August 27, we’ve got a 3ft WSW swell with a period of only 5 seconds (short-period windswell) and combined energy of just 28 (very weak). Wind is a moderate cross-shore from the W at 16 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 1ft and energy to 4—basically flat. No session here scores above zero.
From Friday, August 28, through the rest of the forecast, there’s no swell at all for Long Point. Wave heights are dashes, energy is zero. Winds are a mix of light offshores or cross-onshore, but without any swell, it’s just a flat ocean. The only tiny flicker of life is Monday morning, August 31, when a 3ft SW swell with a 5-second period shows up, energy at 46 (still very weak), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not a surfable wave.
So here’s the straight truth: there’s nothing to recommend. This is a blank run, and for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, that’s a real bummer. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax and do something else.

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