The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, let’s be straight with each other: the next 16 days at North Point are gonna be a test of patience. There’s a whole heap of swell on the table, but for the most part, the wind is going to absolutely trash it. We’re looking at a solid run of cross-onshore and onshore winds that’ll keep things choppy and lumpy, so don’t expect much in the way of quality for long stretches.

We kick off Monday 31st August with a decent sized 8ft WSW groundswell, but it’s got a 17-second period—proper long-period, groundswell energy. The trouble is, the wind is howling from the WNW at 16 mph, cross-on, making for poor, choppy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, about 2° up. It’s a no-go. This pattern of big, messy swell and rubbish wind carries right through the first week. Tuesday morning the 1st of September sees the same 8ft swell, period dropping to 15 seconds, and while the wind turns onshore from the WSW, it’s still not clean, a poor result. Wednesday the 2nd jumps to 12ft from the WSW, but it’s short period at 13 seconds and onshore, just poor. Thursday the 3rd is more of the same—12ft, 15-second swell from the SW, but cross-on winds again. Friday the 4th is a real monster: 16ft from the SW with a 16-second period, generating very strong wave energy (13437). But the wind is onshore and moderate, and the conditions are poor. That size is for experts only, anyway, and the quality just isn’t there.

Saturday the 5th is a write-off. Near gale force winds at 31-34 mph. Sunday the 6th, still cross-on winds and big, rough 13-15ft swell. Not happening.

Now, after all that, we finally get a breath. The standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, arrives on Tuesday the 8th of September. North Point is a point break, advanced level, fairly consistent, and it’s moderately exposed to swell. The morning is looking magic: a 13ft swell from the SW comes with a 16-second period, and the wind swings to a light N at 6 mph, giving us a clean, glassy line-up. The energy is strong (8604), and the conditions are exceptional for experts. This is big, powerful, and clean. The afternoon stays clean with an 12ft swell, still from the SW, and light N winds (6 mph). If you’re a confident surfer, this is your window. It can get a bit crowded here sometimes, so get in early.

After that, things fade a bit. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th drop back to onshore and cross-on winds, with 8-10ft swell. Not worth your time.

Friday the 11th of September offers another chance. Early morning brings clean conditions again: an 8ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, giving us clean, glassy faces. The energy is moderate (3036). It’s excellent for experienced surfers. The rest of the day goes cross-on, so hit the dawn patrol.

The second week is mostly average, with a lot of onshore and cross-on winds and swell sizes fluctuating. There’s one more highlight to keep an eye on: Monday the 14th of September. The morning is glassy—a 10ft WSW swell, 15-second period, with a light NNW breeze at 3 mph. The water is likely still warm. This is excellent for experienced surfers, a clean, lined-up point break. The energy is moderate (4324). After that, the wind turns cross-on again for the afternoon.

The rest of the week sees light cross-shore winds and moderate swell, but nothing that’ll blow your mind. So, to sum it up: the best of the best are the morning of Tuesday the 8th and the morning of Monday the 14th of September. Both offer big, clean, powerful swell at an advanced point break. Don’t waste your energy on the rest. Stay keen.

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.
