The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what North Point has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some solid groundswell lining up, but you’ll have to wait through a bit of wind chop and onshores early on. The first decent window comes Saturday afternoon. The swell is a clean 10 ft from the SW with a period of 17 seconds – that's proper groundswell. The wind is light offshore from the E at just 3 mph, so expect some of the cleanest, most powerful waves of the run. This one’s for experienced surfers only, though, as it’s more than 8 ft. The combined swell energy is 4742, plenty of grunt in the water. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for late August.
If you want a pick of the period, Sunday morning is also a standout. Clear skies, a light NE cross-off breeze at 9 mph, and the swell is a strong 10 ft from the WSW with a very long 17-second period. Combined energy gets up to 6043 on that session. The water stays a touch warmer than normal. Massive, clean lines for the advanced crew.
Monday and Tuesday are blown out with strong cross-onshore winds, so give those a miss. Wednesday the 4th of September is a write-off with gale-force winds. The sea looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle-in lineup.
We then get a bit of a reset on Sunday the 8th of September. Light SE winds at 6 mph, clean conditions, but the swell drops to a modest 4 ft from the WSW with a 12-second period. Combined energy is weak at 855. It’s small, but clean enough for a log on a quiet afternoon. The crowd factor at North Point is listed as “sometimes,” so you could have the place mostly to yourself on a small day like this.
Look ahead a bit further. Wednesday the 10th of September morning: there’s a huge event predicted. A groundswell of 16 ft at 15 seconds from the WSW, combined energy reading 9796. Wind is a stiff cross-off from the NNW at 22 mph. This is massive, heavy swell – far beyond the comfortable zone for anyone but the most experienced charger. It’s so big it might even be too much for North Point, but the wind direction could offer some shelter.
Thursday the 11th gets even bigger – 20 ft from the WSW with a 17-second period. Combined energy is an enormous 20406. However, the wind is howling onshore from the WSW at 25 mph. This is basically unsurfable. The break will be hammered. The same story continues through to Saturday the 13th with huge, onshore messy conditions.
The best call for the average surfer is the small but clean window on Sunday the 8th. But if you are an expert after serious power, Saturday afternoon the 30th of August or Sunday morning the 31st are your sessions – just be prepared for a proper crew on the take-off. Signing off – 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.
