The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break it down for you in feet and miles per hour. We’ve got a solid window of surf coming up but you gotta pick your battles with the wind.
The first real standout is Tuesday morning, the 15th. That’s the session to book off work. We’ve got a clean 10-foot southwest groundswell with a long 14-second period pushing in. The energy is strong at 3665. And the wind? Glassy offshore out of the ENE. For an advanced spot like North Point, that’s perfection. Expect clean, excellent lines for experienced surfers.
Tuesday afternoon the wind goes cross-shore and it gets messy.
Wednesday the 16th morning is still tidy: a 7-foot SW swell (13-second period) with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 12 mph. Energy is moderate at 1398. Wednesday afternoon gets even lighter wind—just a slight air from the north—with a 5-foot SW swell. Conditions are clean again.
Thursday the 17th: forget it. Strong cross-shore winds and the swell drops to 4 feet. By afternoon it’s lumpy chop.
Friday the 18th morning brings an 8-foot W swell but the wind is 28 mph cross-offshore. Too messy. The energy is 4585, but it’s not paddle-friendly. Friday afternoon has a 6-foot WSW swell (16-second period) but still cross-shore.
Saturday the 19th is onshore and choppy with an 12-foot WSW swell. No good.
Sunday through Tuesday the swell stays big but the wind is all wrong—cross-shore or onshore, making it lumpy.
Wednesday the 23rd gets massive: a 15-foot WSW swell (13-second period) with 6330 energy. But it’s cross-onshore and choppy.
Thursday the 24th holds at 13 feet SW (15-second period) with 6665 energy. Still windy.
Friday the 25th: we see a huge 18-foot SW groundswell with an 18-second period. The energy is 20093, but the report says it’s too big for this break. The wind is around 19 mph cross-shore. Only for the craziest of the crazy.
Monday the 28th morning is the next clean window: a 10-foot WSW swell (16-second period) with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north, 4258 energy. That’s a solid late option.
The best of it is Tuesday the 15th morning, no question.
Rusty out.

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.
