The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. This is a full 16-day look at what's coming our way at North Point, and honestly, it's a bit of a tale of two halves. We've got a solid run of groundswell on the horizon, but the wind is going to be the main character for a lot of it.

First things first, the water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 66°F with a 3°F positive anomaly. So, it's a bit balmier than usual, which is always nice.

We start off with a bit of a messy situation. Thursday the 27th is a write-off. The swell is there, a 13ft SW groundswell with a very long 15-second period, carrying strong energy (6290), but it's a cross-shore mess with a moderate breeze. Not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 28th offers a tiny glimmer. The morning session starts to clean up. The swell drops to 7ft from the SW with a 12-second period, and that wind turns to a cross-offshore breeze. It's clean, but the forecast is still marginal. The energy is still moderate (1442). The afternoon goes straight back to a lumpy cross-shore, so no.

Alright, now for the standout. Saturday the 29th is the day to circle. This is the best we've got. The morning brings a 7ft SW groundswell, but with a super long 16-second period. The wind is light, clean, and offshore out of the East. The energy is strong (2992). It's clean, and it's a good size for a point break. The afternoon? It gets even better. The swell pulses to 10ft from the SW, period spikes to 17 seconds, and the offshore wind holds. The energy jumps to a very strong 4856. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long period, clean offshore wind, and solid SW swell hitting this SW-exposed point is a recipe for some lined-up walls. Get on it.

Sunday the 30th is still very good, but just a step down. The 10ft swell is coming from the WSW now, with a 17-second period. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore in the morning, keeping it clean. The energy is very strong (6043). The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore wind, so it'll be a little bumpy, but still rideable.

Then the wheels come off. From Monday the 31st all the way through Thursday the 3rd of September, it's a block of poor conditions. The swell stays big, over 10ft, and even hits 12ft, but we're stuck with strong cross-onshore and onshore winds from the west and northwest. The energy is strong (3000-5000+) but the surface is just a lumpy, choppy mess. Don't bother.

The 4th of September is a full-on storm day. We've got a 16ft to 23ft, short-period windswell with a 9-second period. The wind is onshore and strong. The energy goes through the roof (14471 on the afternoon), but this is a total mess. For paddle surfing, it's a hard no. For a kite surfer, this would be a dream setup.

Now, a long-range peek. The first week of September is a washout, but the 5th of September (Saturday) might be a decent consolation prize. The swell is still huge, 18ft from the WSW, but the wind swings to a light cross-shore from the South. The energy is very strong (10938). It's a marginal forecast, and the size is only for experts, but if you're a big-wave charger, keep an eye on it. After that, the pattern of onshore winds and big, messy swell returns, so don't hold your breath for the second week.

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.
