The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's break down what's in the water at North Point.
We have a solid run of swell coming, but the first few days are a total washout. From Saturday the 12th through Sunday the 13th, it’s all onshore trash. The wind is howling, and the surf is 10 to 11 feet plus, but it’s a messy, choppy mess. Not even worth looking at.
Things clean up on Monday the 14th. Monday morning is the first real standout. We’ve got clean 12ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is sitting at 5140 (moderate to strong). This is excellent quality, but that size is for the experienced surfer only. The water temp is 64°, which is about average for this time of year (anomaly 2°). It’s a point break, so that long period groundswell will line up beautifully.
Tuesday the 15th morning is also very clean, with 10ft SW swell at 14 seconds, light offshore wind, and combined energy of 3665. Another call for the advanced crew.
We hit a lull Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th. The swell drops to 5ft to 6ft, but the wind stays a bit crossways. It's okay, but not the pick.
Friday the 18th morning sees the swell jump back to 10ft with a 16-second period, but the wind turns into a near-gale that afternoon. Saturday the 19th is also blown out with strong cross-onshore winds.
Look to Sunday the 20th morning. It looks absolutely epic. We have a massive 13ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, glassy conditions (zero wind), and combined energy at 8589 (strong). This is big, serious swell. Expert territory for sure. It’s the top of the heap for raw power and perfect conditions.
Monday the 21st is still solid for experienced surfers, with 13ft to 12ft SW swell and clean cross-off wind. The swell holds through Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd, though onshore wind starts to mess it up.
The big dog shows up on Thursday the 24th. A huge 16ft WSW swell with an 18-second period, and combined energy at a massive 17152 (very strong). This is a monster. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not glassy, but for a wave that size, that’s fine. It’s for serious chargers only. It settles down through Friday the 25th.
The tail end of the outlook, on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th, brings cleaner, more manageable waves. Saturday morning has a nice 8ft SW swell with light cross-off wind, and Sunday afternoon is good too with 7ft and clean conditions. This would be the best bet for the intermediate surfer.
The absolute standout, if you’re a big-wave guy, is Sunday the 20th morning for the glassy, 13ft groundswell. If you want something a little friendlier, the Monday the 14th morning or the Saturday the 26th morning are your best bets. We might see some crowds at North Point sometimes, so get in early.
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.
