The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the next couple of weeks for North Point. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with some real promise later on, but the early days are gonna test your patience.
We kick off Friday the 31st of July and it's a write-off. Rain showers, howling cross-onshore winds, and the swell is all over the shop. The energy is massive, but it's useless – a classic case of a lot of power but no shape. That holds through the weekend, with the wind slowly easing. Saturday afternoon we see a drop in the breeze, but it's still cross-shore and the waves are a messy 15 ft. Sunday morning, the wind finally goes cross-offshore from the NE with a light breeze. The swell drops to a clean 10 ft, but it's still a bit of a handful for the size.
The real standout is Monday the 3rd of August. We get a beautiful, glassy morning with a 7 ft SW groundswell, period a long 15 seconds. The wind is dead calm, glass off. The energy is moderate (1695), but the conditions will be perfect. This is the one to circle. North Point is a point break, so that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely with some real power. Just be aware, it's an advanced wave and it can get a bit of a crowd.
The rest of the first week is a write-off again. The wind swings back onshore and the swell jumps back up to 10 ft plus, with poor conditions. The energy levels are back in the thousands. By the 7th of August, the swell is predicted to be too big for the break, with a 20 ft swell, and the wind is just too strong. Kite surfers might be the only ones having fun.
The second week is a bit of a long shot, but there's a glimmer of hope. The 12th of August has a massive 18 ft swell from the SW with a very long 19 second period, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it's messy. The real interest is Thursday the 13th of August. Clean conditions with a cross-offshore N wind, a 15 ft SW groundswell, and a period of 17 seconds. The energy is strong (11517). This is another one for the experienced crew only. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but if it lines up, it'll be special.
Overall, Monday the 3rd is the best bet for clean, surfable waves. The 13th is a promising but less certain option for the big wave hunters.
Rusty signing off.

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.
North Point is 83 km (52 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
