The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break this down for you.
The first week is a complete write-off, to be honest. From Thursday the 3rd through Sunday the 6th, it's nothing but wind and slop. A solid 12ft to 16ft southwest swell is rolling in, but those cross-onshore winds are trashing every bit of it. The wave energy is enormous – hitting 8052 on Friday morning – but with that wind, it's just a mess. You'd be crazy to paddle out.
Things get a little more interesting on Monday morning the 7th. The swell is still a heavy 12ft from the SW, but the wind turns to a gentle cross-shore. The energy is high at 6816, and while it's only "marginal," it's a step in the right direction.
Now, the one you've been waiting for: Tuesday the 8th. That morning at North Point is the real deal. A 13ft SW groundswell with serious power (7873) and a light offshore breeze from the ESE. It’s clean. This is expert level – anything over 8ft is for the brave – and with a 16-second period, you're looking at long, heavy lines wrapping around the point. The water is 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual, so maybe a shorty. The afternoon session on the 8th is even cleaner, with an 18-second period and light cross-shore winds, but tide could be a factor. This is your best shot.
The next morning, Wednesday the 9th, is another solid option with a 10ft WSW swell and a clean offshore from the NE, but the energy is lower at 4700. Still a fun wave.
The swell and wind get messy again from the 10th onwards. The 12th of September brings another big 15ft pulse, but with cross-onshore winds. Leave that for the kite surfers.
There's a second window to watch for. On Wednesday the 16th of September, a proper offshore from the NE hits a 12ft SSW swell. The period is shorter at 10 seconds, but it’s clean and moderate energy at 2087. It’s promising, but we're two weeks out, so take it with a grain of salt.
After that, the swell drops to the 6ft to 5ft range, and the conditions are just average.
So, bottom line: if you're an expert, mark your calendar for Tuesday the 8th. The morning is the pick. The 16th is a decent long-shot. Otherwise, sit this one out.
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.
