The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about North Point. There’s some junk to wade through in the first couple of days, but after that, the energy builds in a big way. It’s a point break, so it knows how to handle the heavy stuff, but the wind’s going to be a problem early on.
Water temp is pretty normal for this time of year.
Monday the 24th is a total dud. A 10-foot WSW swell, but with a 15 km/h NW cross wind, it’s just slop. The wave energy is strong (2820), but the quality is poor. Tuesday is even worse, with 40 km/h winds making a mess. Wednesday the 26th sees the swell jump to 16 feet (15493 energy), but it’s onshore and choppy—only for the hardcore.
Thursday the 27th stays ugly with 13-foot waves and a cross-onshore breeze.
Then comes Friday morning, the 28th, and that’s our first real winner. The swell drops to a clean 7 feet from the SW, but the wind is glassy, dead calm at 5 km/h from the SSE. It’s a long period, 12-second swell coming right into the point, so those waves will have real shape and power. The energy is moderate (1468), but the conditions are perfect. This is one for the experienced crew.
Saturday the 29th gets really good by afternoon. We’ve got a 10-foot SW groundswell, 17-second period, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is high (5634), and the wind is light. This is the other standout in the first week. It’s bigger, more powerful, so experts only. Crowds are possible, but it’ll be worth it.
Sunday and Monday (30th & 31st) keep the 8 to 10-foot swells coming with clean cross-offshore winds. Good fun.
A bit of a dip on the 2nd and 3rd of September with onshore winds. The 4th of September afternoon brings a big 16-foot SW swell (11426 energy) but it’s choppy.
Now for the long-range standout: Monday morning, 7th of September. This is it. We’ve got an 18-foot WSW swell, 14-second period, massive wave energy (11195), and a light 15 km/h easterly wind, cross-offshore and clean. The conditions are exceptional for experts. It’s a week out, so a little uncertain, but if it holds, North Point is going to be absolutely pumping. This is big, powerful groundswell, perfect for the point. Only the experts need apply. Tuesday the 8th cleans up too, with an 12-foot SW swell and light offshore wind.
Best bets are Friday the 28th for that glassy session, and that big Monday the 7th for the heavy stuff. The first few days are a wash, but it gets good.
Stay frosty.

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.
