North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks.

Alright, mate, the long-range is looking like a real mixed bag at North Point. We’ve got some serious size coming through, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story for a lot of it. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

The first real action kicks off on Saturday the 29th. We’re looking at a solid 10ft southwest groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The energy is pumping through at 4678, and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze out of the east. That’s going to set up some clean, lined-up waves for the experienced crew. It’s a bit of a beast for beginners, though.

Sunday the 30th keeps the size at 10ft, but the wind swings around. The morning session is the go with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the northeast and the swell energy actually jumps up to 6043. The afternoon gets a bit messy as the wind turns cross-shore.

Things take a turn for the worse from Monday the 31st through to the end of the first week. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore and strong, making for lumpy, blown-out conditions. The swell is still there, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The middle of the next week, from the 7th of September, things start to get interesting again. The swell is still hefty at 16ft, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, which cleans it up a bit. The energy is massive at 14712. This is still a big boy’s wave, but it’s starting to look a lot more promising.

Then, the standout. Sunday the 13th of September. The morning session has a 10ft southwest groundswell with a long 21-second period, and the wind is a light cross-onshore breeze making for nice, smooth faces. The energy is strong at 12638. But the afternoon is the one. The wind drops to a complete glass-off, absolutely zero wind. The swell jumps to 18ft from the west-southwest with a 19-second period, and the energy is a massive 22861. It’s going to be a beautiful, clean, heavy beast. That’s the day to circle on the calendar, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts.

Before that, the 10th of September has a solid 16ft swell with a clean cross-shore wind, which is worth a look if you can handle the size. The 13th of September is the clear winner, though. After that, the 11th of September has a smaller 12ft swell with clean cross-offshore winds, but the energy is a lot lower.

This is Rusty, signing off.
