The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what North Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow burner this time around. The first few days are a write-off with messy, blown-out conditions and some serious size that’s just too unruly for a good paddle. The real action starts to build from the middle of next week, and the standout window is looking like Wednesday the 22nd of July, with another solid run towards the end of the month and into August.
We’ve got a run of small, weak energy from the 17th with a combined energy reading of 1417, building into a serious pulse. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real highlight is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The wind is going glassy, and we’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the southwest with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a strong 3357. It’s going to be clean, but with that size, this is one for the experienced crew only. The swell is pushing straight onshore, but the glassy conditions will make it tidy.
Thursday the 23rd of July morning is also looking promising. The swell drops a touch to 8ft from the southwest, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the north-northeast. The energy is still strong at 2065, and it’ll be a lot more user-friendly than Wednesday. Expect some good, clean lines.
Then we have a bit of a lull. The weekend and into the next week sees a mix of lumpy onshore wind and choppy conditions. The real gem is hiding at the end of the forecast. Friday the 31st of July is a beauty. The morning is glassy with a 7ft southwest swell and a combined energy of 3607. The period is 14 seconds, so there’s plenty of push. The afternoon is also glassy, with a 6ft, 18-second groundswell. That long period will really wrap into the point, making for some long, clean walls. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
Finally, the 1st of August is shaping up to be a big one. Saturday morning has a 13ft swell from the southwest with a 17-second period. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the north-northeast. The combined energy is a massive 10638. This is expert territory only. The afternoon is similar, with a 13ft, 18-second swell and the same clean wind. The energy is 9300. This is going to be a serious, powerful, and long-period groundswell that will be absolutely perfect for the point. It’s a standout, but only for the very experienced.
So, to be honest, the best on offer is the 22nd of July morning for the glassy, powerful waves, and the 31st of July for the consistent, clean groundswell. The 1st of August is a monster, but it’s for the big dogs only.
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.
