The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf ahead for North Point.
The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some serious size on the cards if you're an experienced surfer. The good news is that the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 65°, which is a nice little bonus.
We're starting off on Sunday, the 6th of September, but honestly, it's a write-off. You've got a 8ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, which sounds epic, but a cross-shore SSE wind at 19 mph is going to turn it into a lumpy mess. The combined energy is strong at 6203, but it's not worth the paddle.
Monday the 7th is where it gets interesting. The morning session is the standout of the whole period. We're looking at a solid 12ft swell from the SW, with a 16-second period. The wind is a gentle SE breeze, 9 mph, coming cross-offshore. That's going to clean the face up beautifully. The energy is massive at 6018. This is for experienced surfers only – that size is beyond beginner territory.
Monday afternoon sees the wind swing back to a 19 mph SSE cross-shore, lumping it up again, so the morning window is your golden hour.
Tuesday the 8th holds. Morning brings a 13ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, with a moderate ESE breeze at 12 mph, cross-offshore. The energy is a whopping 8050. It’s still big, still for experts, but clean. The afternoon lightens up to a gentle 9 mph ESE cross-off, with an 12ft swell and 7037 energy. Two solid windows.
Wednesday the 9th looks promising again. A 10ft swell from the WSW with a 15-second period. Morning has a fresh 19 mph ENE offshore wind, which is proper clean. The afternoon glassed off further with a light 6 mph offshore breeze. That's clean surf for experienced surfers, with 3388 energy.
Thursday the 10th is a drop-off. Swell backs down to 7ft, period drops to 14 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it's just okay, but nothing to get excited about.
From Friday the 11th through the weekend, it gets messy. Winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets chopped up. There are a few windows, like Monday the 14th morning when an 12ft SW swell meets a light N cross-offshore breeze and 4183 energy, but by this stage, you're picking through the rubble.
After that, the second week turns into a bit of a write-off for clean conditions. There's plenty of swell – we're talking 10ft to 18ft – but the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy gets as high as 20927. It's raw and powerful, but the quality isn't there for a paddle. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to wrap it up: your absolute best bet is Monday morning, the 7th of September. Get there early for the clean, big, powerful groundswell. Tuesday the 8th is your second-best option. After that, keep an eye on the Wednesday morning offshore window on the 9th.
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.
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.
