The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
We’re looking at a solid, almost entirely expert-level run coming up at North Point. The pattern is clear: a long stretch of powerful, consistent SW groundswell, but it's a proper heavyweight session. The first decent waves show up Thursday 23 July morning, with an 8ft SW swell and a 14-second period that’s packing serious energy (2424). Winds are a clean offshore from the NE, so the lineup will be looking pristine. This is a standout session for those who can handle it - clean, powerful, and a bit of a crowd magnet given the quality.
Thursday afternoon drops off a bit with a light cross-shore breeze messing with the face a little as the swell backs off to 8ft.
Friday 24 July is more manageable, with 5ft SW swells all day. The morning has a cross-off breeze, but the afternoon is the pick with a gentle breeze and clean conditions. It’s not the biggest, but it’s a nice, rideable size for advanced surfers.
Saturday 25 July looks average. The morning has some 6ft WSW swell but a strong cross-off wind, and the afternoon is a mess with a fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions.
Then Sunday 26 July gets proper serious. A 16ft SW swell rolls in with a moderate period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is massive (6090 in the morning, ramping up to 17752 by the afternoon). The wind is cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean, but it’s heavy, heavy surf - only for the most experienced. The afternoon gets a lumpy cross-chop. This is a big day.
Monday 27 July is another standout. Morning has a 10ft SW groundswell (12 sec) with clean cross-off winds and easy paddle-outs between sets. The afternoon sees the swell period stretch to a very long 16 seconds, with 8ft of SW swell. This long-period energy is best suited for a point break like North Point, where it won't close out straight. Clean, powerful, and consistent.
Tuesday 28 July keeps the quality high. Clean offshore NE wind in the morning over an 8ft SW swell (14 sec), and the afternoon stays excellent with a light cross-off breeze. Another top-shelf day for advanced crew.
From Wednesday 29 July onwards, the wind shifts onshore and the quality dips. Swell sticks around but the wind messes it up. By Thursday 30 July afternoon, a glassy offshore breeze from the E returns, wrapping up a 8ft WSW groundswell with an 18-second period. That’s a very long-period groundswell, so expect long lulls but powerful, wedging sets. A late-afternoon gem.
Friday 31 July and Saturday 1 August see a new pulse of solid 12ft to 15ft SW swell, but it’s blown out by strong cross-off winds. The water is still clean in texture, but the power is extreme - definitely not for beginners (over 8ft), and only experts should even consider it. The combined energy is huge (5392 to 8810).
From Sunday 2 August onward, it’s a write-off. Strong onshore winds, lumpy, messy conditions, and poor surf right through to Friday 7 August. There’s still plenty of swell, but the wind destroys any chance of a decent wave. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this period.
Best on offer: Thursday 23 July morning - clean, 8ft SW swell, offshore wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Second best: Monday 27 July afternoon - very long period 8ft SW swell with clean cross-off winds.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

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.
