The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got your surf outlook for North Point. This spot is fairly exposed to the swell, a point break for advanced surfers only. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
We’ve got a big run of surf coming, but the first few days are a total mess. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are just ugly—strong winds, cross-chop, and poor conditions. The combined swell energy is huge, hitting 2803 on Tuesday morning and climbing to 13576 by Wednesday morning, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s all wind-affected and lumpy. Not worth it.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are still average—fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, with swell dropping from 13ft to 6ft. The energy is still moderate to strong (6399 down to 1103), but the wind is ruining it.
Now, Saturday the 29th morning is where it gets interesting. The wind swings cross-offshore and light, and the swell is 6ft from the SW with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is 3120, and conditions are clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers—clean waves, long-period groundswell, and the point will handle that period well. Crowds are sometimes an issue here.
Sunday the 30th morning is also a cracker. Light offshore wind from the north, 10ft swell from the WSW with a 16-second period, and clean conditions. The energy is strong at 5006. This is probably the best on offer—big, clean, and powerful. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September get messy again with cross-onshore winds, so that window closes fast.
The rest of the first week and into early September is mostly poor—strong winds, rain, and messy cross-chop. There’s a gap from Wednesday the 2nd through to Sunday the 6th of September with no real recommendations, just marginal or poor conditions.
Then, Tuesday the 8th of September morning brings another standout. Offshore wind from the NE, light breeze, 10ft swell from the SW with a 15-second period, and clean. The energy is 3603. This is a long-range call, so less certain, but it looks promising. Wednesday the 9th morning is also clean with a lighter 6ft swell and cross-offshore wind, but the energy is lower at 1898.
Overall, the best bets are Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August mornings, and possibly Tuesday the 8th of September. The swell is big and clean, with good wind, and the point will handle the long-period groundswell well. For the rest, it’s a waiting game—this spot delivers when the wind plays nice, and it looks like it will.

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.
