The Lowdown
Alright, mate. Rusty here. Let’s talk about North Point over the next couple weeks. There’s some proper swell coming, but you gotta be patient and pick your moments.
Things start up Wednesday, July 29th. Not a world-beater, but it’s a go. A solid 8-foot SW groundswell with a 13-second period gives you some grunt. The wind’s a light cross-off from the NE, clean faces. That’s a wave for experienced surfers only. By the arvo it drops to about 7 feet but stays clean. Good session if you’ve got the skills.
Thursday the 30th is a dud. Still 6-foot swell, but the wind swings strong from the north in the morning, then cross-on in the afternoon. Choppy and no fun.
Friday the 31st is a mess. Swell pumps up to 10 feet, then bigger, but the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, all kinds of lumpy. Stay home.
Saturday August 1st is your big payoff. Holy moly, a massive 15-foot SW groundswell with a 15-second period, and the energy is through the roof. Wind is a clean cross-off from the SE in the morning. That is a big, clean wave for the experienced crowd only. The arvo stays big and clean with a moderate cross-off. This is the clear standout of the first week.
Sunday the 2nd is a beauty. Morning has a 10-foot SW swell with an offshore NE wind—clean and classy. Then Sunday afternoon, the wind drops to nothing. Complete glass. You’ve got an 8-foot swell with zero wind. That is as good as it gets for a strong surfer.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th keep the quality up with 7 to 10-foot SW swells and clean wind, but Tuesday morning gets a long 17-second period and a moderate offshore breeze. Over 8 feet, it’s still expert-only.
From Wednesday August 5th, the winds turn against you. Swell stays in the 8 to 15-foot range, but it’s cross-on, onshore, or just messy. Friday August 7th gives a glimpse with a 15-foot SW swell and a moderate cross-shore—workable for a strong surfer and massive energy.
Then the roof caves in. From Saturday August 8th onward through August 13th, it’s a total horror show. Storms, gale winds, 20-foot and bigger swells with onshore wind. That’s survival, not surfing. Kite surfers might have a field day, but for paddle surfing, it’s a dead zone.
Best bets are Saturday August 1st for the biggest, cleanest beast, and Sunday afternoon the 2nd for that rare, glassy perfection at a smaller size. Tuesday August 4th morning is another good one. After that, you’re waiting through a stormy stretch. Stay tuned.
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.
