The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at North Point for the next couple weeks. Got plenty of swell on the way, but the wind’s gonna be a real pain in the arse.
We kick off Wednesday the 26th with a big, long-period groundswell – 4.5m from the WSW with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is huge at 13576, but the wind is a 20 km/h cross-on from the SSW making it “poor surf conditions”. That’s blown out and choppy, and at that size it’s experts only.
Thursday the 27th is the same story – 4.0m to 3.5m SW groundswell, but the wind gets up to a fresh 30 km/h cross-shore, lumpy and ugly. The energy is still up there at 6691 and 5020.
Friday the 28th cleans up a bit. Morning sees a 2.0m WSW swell with a 12-second period, and the wind turns cross-off. The energy drops to 1357, and it’s described as “clean”. First decent look, but the swell has backed off.
Saturday the 29th is where it gets good. The morning has a 2.0m SW swell (16-second period, energy 2992) with a light cross-off from the east – clean. But the standout is Saturday afternoon. The wind goes offshore from the east at 15 km/h, the swell pumps to 3.0m from the SW with a 17-second period. The energy is 4589, and it’s called “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers”. That offshore wind at a point break with that long period will be magic. It’s for advanced only at 3.0m, and it can get crowded (sometimes). This is the best of the first week.
Sunday the 30th is still solid with 3.0m WSW swell, a 17-second period, and a morning cross-off from the NNE. Clean again, but the wind turns cross in the arvo.
After that, it gets messier through the end of August and into early September with onshore and cross-on winds. There’s a big pulse on Friday the 4th of September – a 4.5m SW swell (15-second period), energy at 14867. The wind is a gentle cross-on, so “fairly choppy” but not blown out. That’s a big one for the second week.
Then Monday the 7th of September morning is the real sleeper. The wind drops to a near-calm 5 km/h cross-shore, and the swell is 3.5m from the SW with a 17-second period. The energy is 7961. That’s gonna be glassy and long lines – a proper session.
If I had to pick one session across the whole two weeks, it’s Saturday the 29th of August afternoon. Offshore wind, 3.0m SW groundswell with 17 seconds, on a point break. That’s as good as it gets.
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.
