The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the ole North Point window. We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell comin’ through, but man, the wind is gonna be a fight for most of it. The first couple of days, Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, are a write-off – strong cross-onshore winds are choppin’ up a solid 8ft to 10ft, 16-second period swell. The combined energy is huge, with readings around 3953 to 3481, but it’s messy. You’re better off doin’ something else.
The first real glimmer comes Monday the 24th, early. That morning, a light northerly cross-offshore breeze cleans up a 10ft, 13-second swell from the WSW. That’s a proper session for experienced surfers only – the wave energy is 2820, and it’s clean. The afternoon turns sour again though. The next standout is Friday the 28th. The morning is a beauty – a light offshore breeze from the NE, 8ft of 12-second, clean swell from the SW. The combined energy is 1552, and it’s labelled as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the pick of the first week.
The long weekend, Saturday the 30th and Sunday the 31st, has some serious energy. Saturday morning sees an 8ft, 16-second swell from the WSW with a 3691 reading, and it’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the wind is fresh at 22 mph. Sunday the 31st afternoon is a real gift – glassy conditions, 3 mph wind from the west, with an 8ft, 17-second groundswell from the WSW. The energy is 3890, and it’s described as excellent. That’s a rare, perfect window.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. Keep in mind North Point is a point break, so that long-period groundswell (over 15 seconds) will be lined up nicely, but it can get a bit too straight for some. The crowds are sometimes there, so you might have a few out. The best of the whole run, without a doubt, is Monday the 31st afternoon – glassy, solid, clean. Don’t miss it.
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.
