The Lowdown
Right, mate. Let’s have a look at the outlook for North Point. This is an advanced point break that's fairly exposed to the swell, and it really wants the swell coming from the SW. It’s fairly consistent, but sometimes you’ll get a crowd on it.
We’ve got a bit of a wait ahead. The first few days are a write-off—Wednesday (16 Sep) through to Friday morning (18 Sep) there’s some small 4.3ft to 6.2ft swell around, but the wind is either cross-off or cross, and the wave energy is moderate (1299 to 1726). The water temp is 64°, and that’s pretty much normal for this time of year—nothing unusual there. The combo isn’t doing it for me; the surf is marginal at best.
Then things get ugly. From Friday afternoon (18 Sep) right through to the end of the 27th of September, it’s pretty much game over. The swell pumps up huge—14.8ft on Friday and Saturday (19 Sep) with strong to very strong wave energy (4546 to 7442), but the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, and by Saturday afternoon it goes cross-on with lumpy conditions. Saturday morning (19 Sep) has onshore wind at 22 mph and 14.8ft of WSW swell—that’s just a messy, dangerous zone for a point break. That run of poor surf carries on for over a week, with wave energy actually hitting 12494 on the 25th, but with wind howling cross-shore and lumpy chop. Not a surfable window. There are a few slightly smaller days around the 22nd (7.9ft) but the wind is still cross-onshore. This is a long, blank stretch.
Now, the real standout comes on Wednesday, 30 September. The morning is pure magic. There’s a glassy 9.8ft SW groundswell, with a long period of 16 seconds—that’s proper energy (4056) and it’s breaking clean. The wind is glass, just dead calm from the west at 3 mph. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and for an advanced spot, it’s going to be lined up perfectly. But, it is still a point break, and that long period swell can make it a bit straight at times, but for a reef and point setup like North Point, that’s where it’ll shine. You might not have it all to yourself—crowds are possible—but when it’s like this, you’ll be sharing with the locals who know.
The 1st of October Thursday afternoon also has a glassy spell with 8.2ft SW swell at 14 seconds (2670 energy), but it’s a bit smaller. Still, that’s a solid back-up if you miss the Wednesday morning slot.
So, the best of it is Wednesday the 30th of September morning—glassy, 9.8ft SW, 16-second period. That’s the one.

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.
