North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. First up, the big picture for North Point over the next couple of weeks. There’s a lot of swell on the way, but for the first stretch, it’s gonna be a battle with the wind. We’ve got a solid run of groundswell building, but the conditions are going to be messy before we get a proper window.

The opening days are a write-off as far as I’m concerned. Tuesday and Wednesday are small-to-medium but the wind is all over it, onshore or strong cross-onshore, making it lumpy and poor. We’re looking at swell in the 8 to 10 feet range, but it’s not doing us any favors.

Then it gets bigger. Thursday and Friday see a big push of swell, with Friday morning hitting 18 feet. The energy is strong, with readings over 13000 in the combined energy department. But Thursday is a total blowout with strong cross-onshore winds, and Friday morning is the same, with a near-gale making it a washing machine. You’d be a fool to paddle out. Friday afternoon, the wind drops off though, and we get a clean-ish window with 18 feet of SW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is pumping at 14802. This is the first real chance, but the size and tide conditions make it a marginal call. This is for the experienced crew only, that’s for sure.

The weekend gets blown out again. Saturday is a complete mess, with near gale-force winds and a big, jumbled ocean. Sunday is still too windy, even with the swell easing off.

Now, keep your eye on Monday the 7th. The wind drops out, and we’ve got a clean, solid 15 feet of SW groundswell. The energy is still strong, around 9900-13000. It’s still a big day, but the conditions are finally looking proper. But, the standout is Tuesday the 8th. It’s glassy in the morning, with a light offshore touch, and we’ve got 13 feet of SW swell at a long 16 seconds. The report says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers.” This is the one. It’s still a big wave, but it’s gonna be clean and lined up. That’s the day to be out there if you know what you’re doing.

After that, the swell backs off a bit, and we get some more manageable waves mid-week, but the winds get tricky. The long-period groundswell sticks around, but you’ll need to pick your spots. The following week starts to fade out, with smaller, less consistent swells, and the wind remaining a bit of a wildcard.

So, in short, it’s a story of two weeks. The first half is big and messy, with only a couple of windows late Friday and Monday being worth a look. The true standout is the glassy morning on Tuesday the 8th. Second week is more of a pick-and-choose affair, with smaller waves and mixed winds.
