North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got one spot on the menu for the next couple of weeks: North Point. This is a point break for advanced surfers only, fairly consistent, and it really lights up when the swell comes from the southwest.

The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The real story here is the *energy* behind the waves. We’ve got a big window of solid, powerful SW groundswell coming in.

The week kicks off proper on Thursday the 23rd. That afternoon is looking like a beauty—glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze out of the northwest and a clean 8 ft SW swell. The combined energy is pumping at 1862 (moderate to strong), and the 14-second period means long, lined-up sets. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but with that size, beginners should stay on the beach.

We get a solid run through the end of the month. Tuesday morning the 28th is a standout: a 10 ft SW groundswell (3617 combined energy) with a clean offshore wind from the ENE. This is big, powerful stuff for experts only. The following Thursday morning the 30th also deserves a shout-out—8 ft SW swell, long 16-second period, light cross-off breeze, and a combined energy of 4445. The waves will be grinding down the point.

Then we hit a rough patch. From late on the 30th through the 1st of August, the wind turns messy and the quality drops. Thursday afternoon the 30th sees a cross-shore breeze messing with a 10 ft swell, and conditions stay marginal for a few days.

Sunday the 2nd of August is another big swell event—13 ft SW groundswell with a massive 8594 combined energy—but the winds are cross-off and it’s rated marginal for tide. It’s still a powerful, clean wave for experts if you can pick your moment.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 6th of August. That morning delivers a 13 ft SW swell, 16-second period, a clean offshore breeze from the ENE, and a combined energy reading of 8141. The conditions are described as exceptional for expert surfers. This is the peak of the run—a day for serious surfers only, with big, powerful, clean lines down the point. The following Friday morning the 7th is also tempting: 10 ft SW swell, glassy conditions with zero wind. Perfect surface, but the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon, so get it early.

Overall, the first week builds into some excellent, powerful surf, and the second week holds a couple of pulse events that look promising but are further out, so keep an eye on the forecasts. For now, the 28th morning and the 6th morning are your best shots at something special.

Stay safe out there.
