The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk shop.
We got one real gem in this sixteen-day window, but you gotta be patient for the rest of it. Millars Point is a point break that’s sheltered and doesn't break often, so it’s a bit of a tease.
The water temp is nothing special, just normal for the time of year. Right out of the gate, Thursday morning, August 6th is the day. It’s glassy with some clouds, a light 3 mph offshore breeze from the west, and a solid 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long 14-second period. The energy is strong (1556). This is the real deal – expect very good surf conditions. That long period will set up some proper walls for intermediate surfers.
But it’s a short-lived party. Thursday afternoon, the wind cranks onshore to 19 mph, and the quality is gone. Friday, August 7th is a total write-off with strong onshore winds and rain. Saturday morning, August 8th offers a fresh 22 mph offshore wind, but the swell is a messy 5ft with moderate energy (1158) – only marginal. Sunday, August 9th is ugly with strong cross-shore winds and rain – better for kites than paddles. The entire next week, from Monday, August 10th to Thursday, August 13th, is dominated by onshore winds, lumpy seas, and poor or marginal conditions.
In the second week, we get a glimpse of hope. Friday morning, August 14th brings a 6ft short-period easterly swell (8 seconds) with only light cross-shore winds. The energy is weak (800) and it’s marginal, but maybe a dawn patrol option. Saturday, August 15th morning has a gentle offshore breeze and a small 4ft windswell – surfable but very ordinary. The rest of that week is small and weak until Tuesday morning, August 18th, when a new 4ft SSW swell hits with a 12-second period and a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is moderate (529), but the wind isn't perfect – only marginal.
The last few days fade out into small, clean but weak waves. This break is naturally inconsistent, so a long quiet spell like this is pretty normal for the area. Don't get your hopes up too high after that first morning.
The standout is loud and clear: Thursday morning, August 6th, at Millars Point. That’s your wave.
Rusty.

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