The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at the surf for our stretch of coast. It’s been a proper winter mess out there, and the ocean has been shouting for a few days. The south-west groundswell is hammering us, but that wind has been the story – howling WSW and SW, onshore and cross-onshore, just ruining everything. We’re talking about a big, angry ocean for the next few days. That’s your combo of a strong south-west swell and a bad breeze making for some seriously ugly, blown-out conditions. The energy readings are huge, pushing 11856 early on Sunday, and that’s just a lot of water moving around without any shape to it. It looks more like a day for the kites and the foils than for the paddle.

Now, we are looking right down the barrel of a long, bleak stretch. From now through to Tuesday the 19th, the forecast is pretty grim. It’s a week of onshores, lumpy seas, and blown-out crumble. There might be the occasional window, like Wednesday the 12th, where the wind eases right off and the swell is still a decent 13ft, but it’s tagged as marginal, and you just know the currents will be all over the place with that kind of size.

Then, something shifts. It’s like the ocean finally takes a breath. The real standout, the one that lights me up, is Thursday the 13th . The morning is going to be glassy. *Glassy*. The wind goes to zero, and we’ve got a solid 12ft of south-west groundswell, with a period of 16 seconds, pushing in from the SW. That’s the one. The energy is still solid at 6618. It’s a big, powerful swell, so this is for the experienced crew only. North Point is a point break, and it’s fairly consistent, so those long-period lines should wrap in nicely with that glassy surface. It’s going to be a proper session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need the thickest suit, but it’s still chilly.

The next day, Friday the 14th, is another cracker and a bit more user-friendly. The swell backs off slightly to 12ft, but the wind swings to a light cross-off from the north-north-east. That’s a clean, offshore flow that is going to hold those south-west lines up. The period is still a solid 16 seconds, and the energy is still good at 5535. It’s a similar deal to Thursday but the smaller size takes the edge off. This will be a peaky, fun day on the points, and another one where the surf will be clean and well-shaped.

Saturday the 15th is still worth getting out of bed for. The swell drops a bit more to 8ft, but it’s still coming from the south-west, with a 14-second period. The wind is light and cross-off again, so it's still clean, with energy around 2344. It’s a nice, fun size for a lot of boards, and the point should be working well.

Then, like a bad dream, it all gets messy again late on the 16th and into the 17th. The wind swings back onshore and the swell jumps right back up, blowing everything out again.

So, for the long-range look, there’s not much on the horizon after that. It looks like we might get a few smaller, cleaner days around the 19th, but the wind is iffy. But don’t get too excited for the final week; it’s mostly onshore slop and rain, with the swell dropping right off. The energy dies down to the low 1000s and 2000s, and the wind is just constantly messing it up. It’s a long way out, but it’s not looking like there’s anything else remotely close to what we’re getting on the 13th and 14th. That's your window. 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.
