The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got one main spot lighting up the forecast for this region, and it’s a proper heavyweight for the experienced crew. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at North Point, a solid advanced point break that’s fairly consistent and picks up swell from the SW. The water is sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, but a pleasant little anomaly.
The action kicks off on Wednesday, July 22nd. It’s not a clean start, but the swell is pumping. We’ve got a solid 12ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period, backed by a massive combined energy of 3901. That’s a lot of power in the water. Wednesday morning is a bit messy with a cross-off ESE breeze, but the afternoon cleans up a touch. This is serious, powerful surf – not for the faint of heart.
Thursday, July 23rd is where the standout moment lives. The swell drops a little to a still- hefty 8ft from the SW, but the wind turns offshore from the NE. Thursday afternoon is pure magic – glassy conditions with a NNE breeze at just 3 mph. The swell period is still holding at 14 seconds, and the energy is at 1889. This is the pick of the window. For an advanced surfer, this is as good as it gets: clean, powerful, and lined up. Just be aware that crowds can show up here sometimes.
The run continues through Friday, July 24th with dropping 5ft SW swell, but the wind turns cross-off and the quality fades. Saturday and Sunday get blown out by strong onshore winds and rain, with Sunday seeing a massive 15ft swell but with a 28 mph SW wind on it. That’s a write-off.
After a rough patch, Monday, July 27th brings a glimmer of hope with 10ft SW swell and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is still high at 3257, but the conditions are only marginal. Tuesday, July 28th is another good call – 8ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, and a clean offshore NE wind. The energy is a solid 2684. Another day for the experienced crew.
Then we hit a long gap. From Wednesday, July 29th right through to Monday, August 4th, the wind is a constant problem. We get some big swell pulses – 18ft on the 2nd of August with a 19-second period – but the wind is howling onshore or straight on. That’s all messy, dangerous, and unsurfable. There’s a big gap of almost a week where you’re better off staying home.
Finally, Tuesday, August 4th offers a redemption window. The morning is glassy with a 6ft SW swell at 15 seconds, energy at 1567. The afternoon is a total wildcard: a glassy 12ft NW swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it won’t have the same grunt or shape. Still, glassy is glassy.
From there, Wednesday, August 5th and Thursday, August 6th bring massive 16ft swells, but the wind is cross or cross-off, and the energy is off the charts (over 11,000). These are huge, powerful, and dangerous waves – only for the absolute top-tier experts, and even then, conditions are far from perfect.
So, the real standout is Thursday, July 23rd afternoon – glassy, clean, and powerful at North Point. If you’re an advanced surfer, that’s your window. The rest is a mix of blown-out giants and marginal conditions.
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.
