The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for North Point. It’s a rough start, but there’s a bright spot if you can wait.
The first week plus is a total washout. From Thursday, August 6th through to Wednesday, August 12th, we’ve got a massive, angry swell – 13ft to 25ft from the SW – but it’s coming with gale-force onshore winds that are just tearing it apart. The water is sitting at 68°F and is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good thing. The combined wave energy is insane, peaking at 58,679 (strong to very strong), but it’s all just messy, blown-out, and dangerous. For a point break like this, it’s a no-go for paddling, honestly looks more like a kiteboarding session if you’re into that.
It’s not until Thursday, August 13th, that we get a glimpse of something surfable, but it’s only marginal. The swell drops to 13ft from the SW, but the wind is still cross-on and it’s just a bit iffy.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Friday, August 14th. The morning’s looking glassy – a dead still 5 km/h from the north – with an 12ft SW swell and a long period of 16 seconds. That’s groundswell, proper energy (combined energy of 5,863 in the moderate range). The afternoon stays glassy with ENE wind, and the swell is a clean 10ft. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s a solid, powerful point break wave, but at 12ft that’s definitely for advanced surfers only. The wind is off, the waves have shape, and it’s going to be a proper session for those who know what they’re doing. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so expect company.
Saturday, August 15th, is a step down. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 10ft and the period shortens a bit. It’s marginal, but if you missed Friday, it’s a second look.
After that, from Sunday, August 16th, the wind swings back onshore with a 16ft swell, and things get messy again. There’s a glimmer around Wednesday, August 19th, with a 16ft SW swell and only a light breeze, but it’s onshore, so it’s just a fair option. The long-range look into Friday, August 21st, is similar – a 16ft swell but with cross-on winds, keeping it all a bit average.
So, bottom line: the first week is a full skip. The only true standout is Friday, August 14th at North Point with that glassy, long-period groundswell. Get there early.

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.
