The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is a classic run of big, powerful swell for North Point, but there’s a whole lot of chop and wind to work through before we see the real gems.
The first recommended surf doesn’t kick in until Saturday morning, July 25th, and even then it’s marginal. You’ve got a 5.6 ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a cross-off from the north at 15.5 mph. It’s clean enough to paddle out, but the ocean’s got a lot of energy in it (1043). The water’s sitting at 66.2°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a standout, just a warm-up.
Sunday, July 26th, is a wipeout. That same SW swell jumps to 16.4 ft, but the wind is onshore and howling at 24.9 mph. The combined energy is massive (6182), but the surface is going to be a mess. Save your energy.
Monday, July 27th, is still rough. The swell drops to 11.5 ft, but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are lumpy. The energy is still high (3307), but it’s not making for a good wave. The afternoon is a little better with a 9.8 ft swell and a gentle cross-shore, but it’s still marginal.
Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday, July 28th, is the first true standout. The morning brings a 9.8 ft SW swell at 14 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the east at 6.2 mph. The combined energy is strong (3518), and the conditions are clean. This is a solid, powerful groundswell, and the offshore wind is going to groom it. It’s big, so it’s for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even better – the wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell holds at 8.2 ft. That’s the kind of session you wait for. The water is the same a touch warmer than normal.
Wednesday, July 29th, is still good. The swell drops to 4.9 ft but the period stretches to 17 seconds – very long groundswell. The wind is cross-off from the NE, and the energy is still high (2591). The afternoon picks up to 7.5 ft with a 16-second period, and a light cross-off wind. That’s a clean, powerful wave, but the long period might make it a bit walled off at the beach – better for a point break like this.
Thursday, July 30th, is similar. The morning is 5.9 ft, 16-second SW swell, with a moderate cross-off wind. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 4.9 ft, but the period hits 19 seconds – that’s very long. The energy is still strong (2772). It’s a clean, powerful groundswell, but the long period might make the sets a bit inconsistent.
Friday, July 31st, sees the swell jump back up to 8.2 ft in the morning, with a light cross-shore wind. The afternoon brings an 11.5 ft SW swell with a light cross-on. The energy is huge (5914), but the wind is a little onshore. Still a decent session.
The next big standout is Saturday, August 1st. The morning is a clean 8.2 ft SW swell at 15 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. The afternoon is a treat: 8.2 ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind from the NE. The energy is high (3049), and the waves are clean. This is a proper, clean, powerful swell for experienced surfers. The crowds might be around, but it’s worth it.
Sunday, August 2nd, is a drop-off. The swell is 6.9 ft, the wind is cross-off, but it’s a fresh breeze and the energy is high (2820). It’s a bit messy but still surfable.
Then we hit a rough patch. Monday, August 3rd, through Tuesday, August 4th, is onshore, messy, and the swell is big but blown out. Wednesday, August 5th, sees a massive 23.0 ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is onshore and the energy is off the charts (22041). It’s way too big and dangerous for paddle surfing. This is more of a kite-surfing spectacle.
The final big standout is way out on Sunday, August 9th. The morning brings a 19.7 ft WSW swell at 14 seconds, with a fresh offshore wind from the east at 18.6 mph. The combined energy is enormous (12295). This is one for the experts only. It’s a clean, super-powerful groundswell. The afternoon is the same size, with a cross-off wind. This is a promising but less certain one, being so far out.
So, the two best calls are Tuesday, July 28th – for the glassy, clean 8.2 ft swell, and Saturday, August 1st – for the consistent offshore winds and solid 8.2 ft swell. The big one on August 9th is the one to keep an eye on, but it’s a long way out.
Stay stoked.

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.
