The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming down the line for North Point. The water’s sitting at 20°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick fullsuit at home.
The first solid window fires up on the Sunday afternoon of the 2nd of August. We’ve got a clean 10ft SW groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds and a light NNE cross-off breeze. The combined energy is a strong 2757, and it’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the standout of the early period—clean, powerful, and well-shaped.
After that, we hit a rough patch. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are messy, with strong onshore winds and lumpy, poor quality surf. The swell jumps up to 12ft on Tuesday, but the wind is hammering it from the west, and the water is a complete mess. Wednesday the 5th is still on the choppy side, with 15ft WSW swell and a cross-on breeze, but the energy is up around 10265. It’s not clean, but for the brave and the experienced, there might be some raw power to play with. Thursday and Friday look even worse for quality, with strong onshore winds and poor conditions.
The light at the end of the tunnel comes on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning shows a massive 23ft SW swell with a long 18-second period, and a clean offshore ENE breeze at just 6 mph. The energy is a staggering 29087. This is a monster, too big for most, only for experts. It’s clean but intimidating. The afternoon sees 26ft, even bigger, but the wind swings around to a light cross-on, so it’s still a beast of a day.
Wednesday the 12th morning brings a welcome drop to 16ft from the SSW, with a glassy 3 mph easterly cross-off breeze. The energy is 8019, and the conditions are exceptional for expert surfers. This is the best of the second week: clean, powerful, and a bit more manageable than the day before. The swell direction is a good match for the optimum SW.
Saturday the 15th of August sees a smaller, cleaner morning with 8ft SW swell and a light SE cross-off. The energy is 4334, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon builds to 12ft, still clean. That’s a solid day for the more confident crew.
The 16th of August Sunday morning has a clean 12ft SW swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is 7034, and conditions are exceptional for experts. The 17th of August Monday morning is also clean, with a 12ft WSW swell and a glassy 3 mph NE breeze.
Overall, the standout is that Tuesday the 11th for the sheer size and power, but it’s strictly for the experts. The best all-rounder for clean, powerful surf is the Wednesday the 12th morning. Crowds are possible at North Point, especially on the cleaner days, so keep that in mind.

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.
