The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for North Point. This is a solid point break that loves a southwest swell, and it’s strictly for the advanced crew. The water’s at 67°, which is a good 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – a real nice surprise.
We’ve got a long run of big, powerful swell headed our way, but the wind is a total buzzkill for the first week. Saturday the 8th is a monster: 23-foot SW groundswell (15-16 seconds) with a combined energy of 20,605 – that’s a lot of juice. But it’s blowing a near gale cross-onshore, so it’s just a mess. Too big and too blown out for anyone.
Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th are all the same story – huge swell, messy wind. The first five days are a total washout.
We get a tiny window on Wednesday the 12th. The swell drops to 13 feet, and the wind is light. But it’s still only marginal, with a combined energy of 7,277. It’s a maybe, but not worth getting excited over.
Now, Thursday the 13th of August – that’s the one. The morning is glassy with a 13-foot SW groundswell (15 seconds) and a combined energy of 6,605. The wind is dead calm. That’s an excellent window for experienced surfers. The water is still warm, and the point will handle that long period swell perfectly. Friday the 14th is also clean, with a lighter 10 to 11-foot swell and light cross-offshore winds from the north. Another solid day of clean, powerful waves.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th is a step down – the swell drops to 7 to 8 feet, and the wind picks up a bit, but it’s still clean. It’s marginal, but you could get a few.
Then things get interesting again. Monday the 17th sees a new pulse of 15-foot WSW swell (17 seconds) with a combined energy of 12,211, but it’s a bit choppy with cross-onshore wind. Not the best.
Tuesday the 18th is a write-off with a 21-foot swell and fresh cross-onshore wind. But then, Wednesday the 19th of August is the absolute standout. We’ve got a 21-foot WSW groundswell (16 seconds) with a combined energy of 19,927, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the north. That’s exceptional conditions for expert surfers only. The point will be firing with perfect shape. Thursday the 20th is still good with a 13 to 16-foot swell and clean offshore wind, but it’s a step down in size.
The final week of the 21st to the 23rd sees the wind turn nasty again, with strong cross-onshore winds and more massive 21-foot+ swell. It’s just too big and messy for anyone.
Overall, the best on offer is Thursday the 13th and Wednesday the 19th of August. The 13th is the glassy, more manageable size for a good session, while the 19th is a true big-wave day for the experts. The first week is a bust, but the middle of the outlook has two absolute gems.

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.
