North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, bringin’ you the outlook for North Point.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s a mixed bag for conditions. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at about 67°, so that’s a nice little bonus to start us off.

The first real highlight is this Sunday morning, August 2nd. North Point is pumpin’ with a solid 10ft SW groundswell, and the wind is a clean cross-off breeze from the NE at 12 mph. That’s gonna groom the face real nice. The wave energy is strong (3475), and with a 13-second period, you’re gettin’ proper lines. This is a break for the advanced crew, but it’s gonna be a treat. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, so don’t expect a total solo session, but it’s worth the company. Sunday afternoon looks even better for the experienced surfer, with a lighter NNE breeze at 6 mph, still cross-off, and the same 10ft SW groundswell.

Monday the 3rd drops off a bit. The swell is still a decent 6ft to 6ft, but the wind gets nasty. A fresh NNE breeze at 19 mph on Monday morning and a lumpy NNW cross-shore in the afternoon are gonna chop it up, so it’s a pass for me.

Now, Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the first week is a no-go. The swell gets huge—13ft to 21ft—but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is through the roof (8306 to 20710). That’s way too big for this point, and it’s a washing machine out there. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.

We get a little breather on Sunday the 9th, with a 15ft SW swell, but the wind is still messy. It’s not until we hit Thursday, August 13th, that we see a real standout again. The morning is glassy—dead flat wind from the NNW at a mere 3 mph. The swell is a clean 10ft at a super-long 17-second period from the SW. That’s some serious groundswell energy (5304). This is a point break, so that long period is gonna wrap in beautifully. It’s for the advanced surfer, but it’ll be a barrel-huntin’ session if you’re good enough.

The run continues into the weekend. Sunday morning, August 16th, is another glassy session with an 8ft SW swell. The wave energy is still strong (2761), and the 14-second period keeps the quality high. Then Monday the 17th locks in: a 10ft SW groundswell, clean cross-off wind from the NE, and a nice 15-second period. The energy is 4237, and it’s lookin’ clean for the morning. That’s a solid way to kick off the next week.

Overall, the best days are this Sunday, August 2nd, and the glassy mornings on Thursday, August 13th and Sunday, August 16th. The second week looks promising, but keep an eye on the wind.

Rusty, out.
