The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about North Point. It’s been a while since we’ve had a proper pulse, but this one’s got some serious grunt coming through. The water’s sitting at 67.5° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 4° above average, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The first proper surf kicks off Monday morning, August 3rd. We’ve got a 5.6ft swell from the SW, with a long 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1305 (moderate). The wind’s a cross-off from the NNE at 15.5 mph, which is clean. It’s a bit of a grumpy start though – the tide and conditions are questionable, so don’t get too excited. The afternoon goes cloudy with a cross-shore wind, and the swell ticks up to 5.9ft, but it’s a messy cross-chop.
Tuesday, August 4th, the swell jumps big time – 11.5ft from the WSW, period 18 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and the energy is massive at 7028 (strong). But the wind is onshore from the W at 12.4 mph, and the conditions are poor. This is expert-only territory; the size is over 8.2ft, and the wind is ruining it. The afternoon is even worse with a cross-onshore breeze.
Wednesday, August 5th, is the first real standout. Morning brings a 14.8ft swell from the WSW, 16-second period, and the combined energy is 10504 (very strong). The wind is a light cross-on from the W at 9.3 mph, so it’s fairly choppy but manageable. The afternoon gets better – light breeze from the NW at 6.2 mph, still cross-on, but with small wind ripples. The energy is 10787. This is big, powerful surf, but it’s not clean. For a crew of experienced surfers, this is a paddle.
Thursday, August 6th, the swell drops to 13.1ft, still WSW, with a 16-second period. The wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 12.4 mph, creating a cross-chop. Energy is 7775 (strong). Friday, August 7th, is a write-off – a risk of thunderstorms and strong onshore winds, with 13.1ft swell and poor conditions. Saturday, August 8th, is even worse – 19.7ft swell from the SW, but with fresh onshore winds at 21.7 mph. That’s a washing machine, and the energy is 14258 (very strong). Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Sunday, August 9th, the swell backs down to 14.8ft, but the wind is onshore from the WSW at 12.4 mph. The morning is marginal, the afternoon is poor. Monday, August 10th, is a cross-shore wind from the S at 18.6 mph, with a 11.5ft swell – lumpy and tough.
Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday, August 11th, morning is a standout. The swell is 16.4ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the combined energy is 12248 (very strong). The wind is a light cross-on from the SSW at 6.2 mph, with small wind ripples. It’s big, but it’s clean enough for experts. The afternoon drops to 14.8ft, but the wind picks up.
Wednesday, August 12th, morning is clean. The swell is 11.5ft from the SW, 13-second period, and the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 3.1 mph – almost glassy. The energy is 4526 (moderate). This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets cross-onshore again.
But the real killer is Thursday, August 13th, morning. The swell is 14.8ft from the SW, with a massive 19-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The combined energy is 13462 (very strong). The wind is offshore from the ENE at 9.3 mph, and it’s clean. This is exceptional surf for expert surfers. The long period means these waves will have serious punch and shape, but at a point break like North Point, it’s going to be a dream. Expect long lulls between sets, but the waves that come will be worth the wait. Crowds are possible here, so get out early.
Friday, August 14th, morning is offshore from the NE at 15.5 mph, with a 11.5ft swell – clean and good for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even better – light offshore from the NE at 6.2 mph, with a 13.1ft swell, and it’s clean. The energy is 8279 (strong).
Saturday, August 15th, and Sunday, August 16th, are clean but the wind is cross-off, and the swell drops to 9.8ft to 14.8ft. Still surfable, but

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.
