The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell headed for North Point over the next couple of weeks, but you’re gonna have to pick your moments. The water’s sitting around 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Things kick off on Friday the 28th of August, but it’s a write-off – 6ft of SW swell but a cross-shore breeze and poor conditions. Saturday the 29th looks much better. The morning has 7ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (2992). That’s a solid option, but the real standout is Saturday afternoon: 10ft from the SW with a 17-second period, light offshore easterly wind, and excellent surf for experienced surfers – combined energy is strong (4856). This is the best wave of the early part. Sunday the 30th keeps the quality high in the morning with 10ft WSW swell, 17-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. Energy is very strong (6043). Again, only for experienced surfers at this size. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are blown out with strong onshore winds and poor conditions. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are also mostly messy or marginal with onshore wind, though there’s plenty of size (10-12ft). Friday the 4th is a no-go with 15ft SW swell and strong onshore winds – that’s raw, dangerous, and only for the lunatics.
After a rough patch, there’s a glimmer on Sunday the 7th of September. Monday morning the 7th is a beauty – 8ft SW swell with a 13-second period and glassy conditions. Clean surf with solid energy (4162). This is a great call for experienced surfers, and the lack of wind means it’ll be smooth. The crowd factor at North Point is “sometimes”, so you might have company, but not a zoo.
The best run of the whole outlook lands on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning has 10ft WSW swell with a 17-second period, a gentle offshore from the NE, and clean conditions – energy is very strong (5540). The afternoon is even better: 12ft WSW, 17-second period, light offshore NE wind, and clean. Energy is very strong (6502). That Wednesday is the highlight – punchy, long-period groundswell, and perfect wind. Thursday the 10th holds size and direction (13ft WSW, 18-second period) but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-off, so it stays clean but a bit more challenging.
After that, Friday the 11th through Saturday the 12th of September fade into onshore, lumpy conditions and poor surf. Wrap it up then.
So to sum it up: Saturday the 29th of August afternoon and Wednesday the 9th of September are your absolute standouts. That Wednesday is the pick of the whole forecast – big, long-period groundswell, offshore wind, and clean. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
