The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about North Point.
A proper point break, fairly exposed to the southwest swell. The water’s sitting at a warm 67°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. You’ll feel it. This wave is for the advanced crowd – when it’s on, it rewards you, but you gotta earn it.
Tuesday the 11th is an easy skip. A huge 18ft southwest groundswell with a 16-second period, but the wind is honking cross-onshore at 19 mph from the SSW. Combined energy is (15270) – massive, but it’s lumpy and blown out. Don’t bother.
Wednesday the 12th is still marginal. 13ft from the SW, period around 14–15 seconds, onshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. Maybe a wave, but nothing to get excited about.
Thursday, August 13th – this is the call. 12ft of SW groundswell, long 16-second period, combined energy (7230), and the wind goes to a light cross-offshore from the NNW at only 3 mph. Clean. For the experienced crew, that morning is a standout.
Friday the 14th is almost as good. 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, gentle 9 mph cross-off from the NNE in the morning, and the afternoon goes glassy – dead calm. That afternoon session, with 5 mph variable breeze, will be super clean. Best of the weekend.
Saturday the 15th scales back. 8ft from the WSW at 14 seconds, wind picks up to 16 mph cross-off from the NNE. Clean, but smaller energy (2613). A fun cruiser day.
Sunday the 16th rebounds. 12ft WSW swell, 15-second period, combined energy (4529), steady 12 mph cross-off winds. Good, consistent, advanced-level surf.
Monday the 17th is a mess – onshore wind at 19 mph, 12ft swell, poor. Tuesday the 18th has 10ft swell but strong cross-shore wind at 19–22 mph – lumpy.
Wednesday, August 19th jumps back up. 16ft WSW swell, 16-second period, combined energy (12263). Light onshore wind at 9 mph in the morning, dropping to 6 mph in the afternoon. That’s big-wave territory – only for the most experienced.
Rest of the run sees dropping size and messy wind through late August, with a few small clean windows on Friday the 21st afternoon (offshore breeze, 13ft but short period) and the 24th (long-period 4ft at 18 seconds, light wind).
Best bets: Thursday morning, August 13th, and Friday afternoon, August 14th. Glassy, solid SW groundswell – that’s North Point at its finest.
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.
