The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a wild ride, so hold on.

We’ve got a window of solid, powerful groundswell hitting North Point for the next few days, but man, the wind is going to ruin it for a while. The water is sitting at a warm 66°, which is noticeably warmer than normal for this time of year—a touch more than usual.

Right now, Monday morning is a no-go with a 10ft WSW swell and a 13-second period, but the cross-shore wind is making a mess. That huge energy (2820) is wasted at the moment. Monday afternoon gets blown out completely. Tuesday and Wednesday are just as ugly with strong winds and big, unrideable conditions. Wednesday morning sees a massive 16ft swell with a long 18-second period from the WSW, packing a ton of energy (14437), but that southerly wind has it all chopped up and lumpy. That’s expert-only territory even if the wind was good, but it’s not.

Things start to look a little more promising by Thursday afternoon with an 12ft SW swell and a decent 14-second period. Still, the wind is cross-shore and it’s only a marginal call. Friday morning cleans up slightly with a 8ft SW swell, 12-second period, and lighter winds, but still just a marginal option.

The standout window is Saturday the 29th, clear as a bell. Saturday morning at North Point is your best bet. You’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell running with a very long, juicy 19-second period. The energy is moderate (2760), and the wind is blowing light offshore from the ENE. That means smooth, clean faces. It’s a bit of a smaller swell for an advanced spot, and it’s described as “fairly consistent,” so you’ll get waves, just with decent gaps between sets. Because it’s a point break and that period is so long, the waves will wrap in nicely. Crowds are said to be only “sometimes” an issue, so you might have it to yourself for a bit.

Sunday the 30th has a bigger 10ft WSW swell with a 17-second period, and the morning sees a clean cross-offshore wind from the N. That’s a lot of energy (5963) but the wind is moderate, so it won’t be glassy. Still a solid option for experienced surfers. From there, the rest of the first week into early September just looks like poor conditions, strong winds, and onshore slop. By Monday the 7th of September, there’s a big 13ft SW swell with a 15-second period, but the wind is straight onshore. The whole second week is a write-off with relentless wind and messy conditions.

So, the call is: The absolute best is Saturday morning, August 29th, at North Point. Small but clean, offshore, and that long period will give you great shape. Sunday morning is also very good if you want more size. After that, we’ve got a long run of poor surf through the second week—it’s going to be a bit of a blank run for a while.

Rusty.

Information about the North Point Surf forecast

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

North Point is 83 km (52 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
