The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. This is all about North Point, and only North Point. Don't get confused.
The first week and a half is a real bummer. The wind is just relentless, howling from the west and southwest, tearing the swell apart. The wave heights are massive, from 13 feet to over 24 feet, with combined energy numbers that are off the charts – we’re talking 18,090 and even 54,938. That’s not safe for a paddle, that’s a kite surfer’s paradise if anything. The conditions are consistently poor, and the reports say “poor surf conditions” or “wind and tide favorable, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break.”
There’s a little glimmer on the morning of the 12th, but it’s a marginal call. The wind switches onshore, the swell is still 15 feet, and the notes say “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” It’s not worth the risk.
The one true stand-out, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Saturday, August 22nd. The morning brings a clean 13-foot swell from the southwest, with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s going to wrap around the point perfectly. The wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph, and the conditions are described as “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers.” The water will be clean. The afternoon session is even better. The swell drops to 11 feet, still with that 16-second period, and the wind goes light offshore from the east at 9 mph. The energy is higher at 9,809, and it’s also tagged as “exceptional.” This is the day to circle on your calendar.
North Point is a point break, which is ideal for this kind of long-period groundswell. It’s fairly consistent, and it loves a southwest swell. But remember, it’s an advanced spot, and crowds can be a problem at times. The water temperature is 68°F, which is a whopping 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. You’ll be very comfortable in a shorty or just boardshorts.
So, the long and short of it: the first two weeks are a total washout. Don’t get your hopes up. But if you’re patient, the 22nd of August is shaping up to be a gem. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but the signs are all pointing to a special day.

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.
