North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good hard look at what’s coming our way.

Alright, overall, we’ve got a proper run of groundswell heading our way, starting from this Friday and rolling right through into the second week. The ocean's gonna be active, no doubt about it. There’s a little gap at the very start of the period with nothing to write home about, but once it fires up on Friday the 3rd, we’re in for a treat. There’s a lull in quality around Sunday the 5th and into Friday the 10th, but the juice really comes back with a vengeance.

North Point is the standout here, and for good reason. It’s a point break, so it’s built to handle the size we’ve got coming. The first real highlight kicks off Friday morning, July 3rd. We’re looking at a solid 10 ft swell out of the southwest, and the wind is a light offshore from the east-northeast. That’s clean, that’s glassy, and with a 14-second period, there’s plenty of push behind it. The combined swell energy is sitting at 3200 – that’s a moderate energy, and it’s cooking. This is for experienced surfers only – at 10 ft, it’s too big for beginners. Keep an eye on the crowds, as it can get busy here.

But the absolute standout, the one you don’t want to miss, is Sunday, July 12th. The morning shows a massive 13 ft southwest swell with a very long 17-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze from the northeast. The energy reading is a whopping 10335 – that’s strong, very strong. This is expert territory, no question. The afternoon is just as good with glassy conditions and the same 13 ft swell. This is a day for the big boards and the brave.

There’s a bit of a rough patch from Sunday the 5th through to Friday the 10th. The wind gets messy, the swell drops, and it’s just not worth paddling out at North Point. You’d be fighting cross-shore and onshore winds. That stretch is a write-off for us.

For the second week, it’s still pumping but with a bit less certainty. Tuesday, July 14th morning looks promising with a 10 ft SW swell and a clean offshore wind from the east, energy at 4402. The swell period is 16 seconds, perfect for that point break. The conditions start to get windier and more crowded after that, and by Friday the 17th, the rain and onshore winds move in, calling a stop to the action.

Keep your eyes on that Sunday the 12th; that’s the one.

Stay salty,
Rusty
