The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
We’ve got a solid run ahead at North Point – a point break that demands advanced skills, especially when it’s pumping. Water temp is 66°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.
The first few days are promising but not screaming. Wednesday morning, July 29, has a 8 ft SW swell with a 13-second period, winds from the NE at 9 mph keeping it cross-off and clean. Wave energy is strong at 2671. It’s a little on the bigger side for beginners, but for experienced surfers, it’s a solid start. Wednesday afternoon sees the swell drop slightly to 7 ft, same long period, super light NE breeze at 6 mph, and energy stays strong at 2151. Conditions are excellent for those who know what they’re doing.
Thursday, July 30, is a bit rougher. Morning has a 6 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, but a fresh NNE breeze at 16 mph chops things up, energy moderate at 1771. Afternoon improves only with a lighter N wind, still cross-off and clean, similar swell.
Friday, July 31, is a write-off. Swell jumps to 10 ft in the morning with a 16-second period, but a strong NW wind at 19 mph turns it lumpy. By afternoon, it’s 12 ft onshore WSW wind at 25 mph, huge energy at 6636, but poor surf. Leave it.
Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2, are tricky. Saturday morning has 13 ft SW swell (strong energy at 6672) but a moderate S cross-shore wind, creating chop. Too big for beginners, only hanging for experts. Sunday sees swell back to 10 ft, with a NE breeze cleaning up, energy at 3041. Sunday afternoon is better – 8 ft SW, light NNE breeze, glassy. Excellent for experienced surfers.
Now, here’s where it gets good. Monday, August 3, morning is the standout. Swell is 7 ft from the SW with a 15-second period, but wind is glassy – 3 mph from the WSW. Absolutely clean, moderate energy at 1810. This is the session to aim for. Smooth, lined-up point break waves.
After that, swell builds again. Tuesday, August 4, morning has 12 ft SW with a 17-second period, light W wind keeps it clean, but big – only for experts. By Tuesday afternoon, messy. Wednesday, August 5, and Thursday, August 6, are all oversized and windy, with swell hitting 16 ft and strong onshore winds. Not for paddling unless charging.
From Friday, August 7, through Sunday, August 9, swell goes into 23 ft to 26 ft range with long periods (14-19 seconds). Wave energy is astronomical – 55070 on Monday, August 10. But wind is cross-onshore or onshore, breaks too big even for most experts – kite-surfing or charging days only.
Things calm slightly around August 11-12, but wind stays onshore. Then, Thursday, August 13, morning is another true standout. A 21 ft WSW swell with a 14-second period, light ESE wind at 3 mph – clean as a whistle. Huge energy at 16134. Expert-only, but conditions are exceptional. Afternoon holds 20 ft with light wind, but a bit of cross-on.
Best on offer: Monday, August 3, morning (7 ft, glassy, clean point break perfection) and Thursday, August 13, morning (big, clean, expert-only). First week has a few good windows, but second week is more unpredictable – big swells look promising, but wind could still mess things up. Keep an eye on it.

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.
