North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for North Point, but you’re gonna have to be patient and pick your moments. The wind is the real story here, it’s gonna be messy for days before we get a clean window.

The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got solid swell Saturday the 5th, pushing 12 ft from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. The combined energy is moderate (4439), but the wave quality is poor. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 6th is more of the same – big, clean lines but cross-shore winds keep it chopped up. The energy is even stronger on Sunday afternoon (6984).

Monday the 7th is where it gets interesting. The morning shows a 12 ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (6307), and for experienced surfers, this is going to be bloody good. The period is long enough that the sets will have real power, and the cross-off wind will keep the faces glassy. This is a standout. The afternoon turns to slop, so get in early.

Tuesday the 8th is the absolute peak. The morning swell bumps up to 13 ft from the SW with that same 16-second period, and the wind is light and clean. The energy is very strong (8296). This is big, powerful, and clean – expert-only territory by the afternoon when it drops slightly to 12 ft but the wind goes light and clean. This is the best two-day window of the forecast.

Wednesday the 9th keeps the quality high. 10 ft from the WSW with a clean offshore wind from the ENE. The energy is still strong (4390). It’s a bit smaller, but it’s clean and offshore – perfect for advanced surfers looking for a long wall.

Thursday the 10th sees the swell drop to 6 ft, but the afternoon looks clean with a light breeze. The energy drops off (1593), but the conditions are there for a fun, smaller session.

Friday the 11th looks smaller but the period is long (20 seconds) in the morning. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but that long period will make the 4 ft swell feel punchy. The afternoon has a bit more size at 6 ft but the wind picks up.

From Saturday the 12th to Monday the 14th, it’s a blowout. Strong onshore winds and building swell make for poor conditions. The wind is howling from the W, so it’s all choppy and messy. Best to stay home.

Tuesday the 15th brings a clean-up. 10 ft from the WSW with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is solid (4789) and the surf looks excellent for experienced surfers. The 16-second period will give it great shape.

Wednesday the 16th is similar size but the wind is a bit more cross-shore, still clean but not as perfect.

Thursday the 17th is another standout. 10 ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore. The energy is strong (4692). It’s clean, powerful, and the conditions are prime for North Point.

The final weekend, the 19th and 20th, is a mess. Swell is massive, over 16 ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on. The energy is through the roof (over 15,000), but it’s a washing machine. Only for the kamikaze crew.

So, the best on offer is Tuesday the 8th and Thursday the 17th. Both have big, clean, powerful SW groundswell with clean wind. Crowds are possible at North Point, but with this quality, it’ll be worth it.

Rusty.
