The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and knots.
First few days? Honestly, not worth getting wet. Wind’s mostly cross-onshore, and the surf is poor to marginal. You’ve got some chest-high swell from the SSW with a real long period—18 seconds—so there’s some energy in the water (972), but the wind just messes it up. Water’s about average temp for the time of year, nothing wild.
From Saturday the 31st through Tuesday the 3rd of September, it's still pretty average. Swell drops, wind gets lighter but stays cross or cross-on, leaving the surface bumpy. Thursday the 3rd morning gives a short window—glassy, 3ft from the SSW with a 19-second period, strong energy (806)—but that afternoon gets blown out by a fresh NW breeze.
The real standout is Wednesday the 9th of September. Morning has 5ft from the NW, 12-second period (803 energy), with a light cross-shore. But the afternoon? Glassy as glass. Same 5ft NW swell, energy up to 968. That’s the pick of the whole period—clean, head-high, and the direction is perfect for No Pass. That's for intermediates; a bit much for beginners. At a reef break, that 12-second groundswell will give you some proper shape.
Crowds are possible here, so you might see a few other heads out.
After that, Thursday the 10th of September has glassy conditions all day, 3ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period (energy around 880). That’s a clean, fun size. Friday the 11th afternoon is glassy again, similar. Saturday the 12th morning has a light cross-offshore, clean, 3ft SW swell. All good options.
By the 13th, it’s tiny—only about 2ft to 2ft—so it’s fading out.
Best bet: mark your calendar for the afternoon of the 9th and the glassy days right after. First week’s a dud, but the second week has some nice surprises.
Rusty.

Information about the No Pass Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for No Pass provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at No Pass can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our No Pass 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 (No Pass) 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 No Pass 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.
