The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Well, we’ve got a serious run of big, powerful groundswell on the cards for North Point, but it’s a real mixed bag with the wind. The water is sitting at a noticeably warm 68°F, which is a fair bit warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice bonus if you’re wearing a thin suit.

The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Wednesday, August 5th, but it’s a tough one. We’ve got a solid 15ft swell from the WSW, with a very long 16-second period, packing a massive amount of energy (10651). That’s a serious groundswell, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NW at 9 mph, making it choppy. The score is marginal, and honestly, that setup at a point break might be more interesting for the kite crowd than a paddle surfer, with the wind and size.

The next few days are a write-off for clean surf. Thursday the 6th through to Tuesday the 11th of August are all blown out by strong onshore or cross-onshore winds, with gusts hitting 31 mph. The swell stays huge, between 13ft and 23ft, but the quality is just poor. The combined energy is off the charts, hitting 24989 on the 11th, but it’s messy and lumpy. This is expert-only territory in terms of size, and the wind is making it a nightmare.

The standout window is the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the NW, and we’ve still got a very solid 15ft, 15-second WSW groundswell (8707 energy). The conditions are described as “exceptional for expert surfers.” That’s your moment. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it will be clean. Expect long, racy lines at North Point, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. Crowds are possible at this spot.

The morning of Thursday, August 13th, is another good look. The swell is 15ft from the SW, with a super-long 19-second period (13748 energy), and a clean cross-offshore wind from the N at 12 mph. The score is strong, but it’s “marginal” due to tide, so you’ll need to pick your timing. The 19-second period means the sets will be widely spaced, which helps with the paddle out, but the waves might be a bit too straight for a point break.

The morning of Friday, August 14th, is similar, with a 15ft, 17-second SW swell and a cross-offshore N wind. Clean again, but with the same caveat on tide.

The second week gets a bit messy again. The morning of Sunday, August 16th, has a 16ft, 16-second WSW swell (24177 energy), but the wind is a strong cross-shore from the NW at 28 mph, making it messy. Too big and too windy.

The real highlight for the long-range is the morning of Thursday, August 20th. It’s a promising window, but it’s a long way out. The forecast shows a 15ft, 17-second WSW groundswell (11708 energy) with a perfect cross-offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph. It’s described as “exceptional for expert surfers,” and it’s clean. That’s a solid call to have on your radar, but remember, it’s two weeks away, so don’t bank your whole week on it just yet.

Overall, there’s some serious juice in the water, but the cleanest windows are short and for experienced surfers only. If you’re not an expert, wait for a smaller day.

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.
