The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wetsuit and let’s talk about North Point for the next couple of weeks. This point break loves a solid SW groundswell, and we’ve got plenty of it coming through.
The first solid surf kicks off this Friday, July 24th. It’s not huge – a clean 5ft SW swell with a 12-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. That’s a fun, rideable wave. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice. The combined energy is moderate (859), so there’s enough push for a good session.
Saturday the 25th pushes up a touch to 6ft from the WSW, but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-off. Still clean, but the weekend crowd might show up. Sunday the 26th is a total loss: a short-period 12ft swell with 28 mph onshore winds. That’s blown-out, ugly, and the energy jumps to 2322. Monday the 27th is also a mess with strong cross-onshore winds and messy 13ft swell.
Tuesday the 28th is your first true standout. The morning has an offshore easterly breeze with a 10ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds. That’s proper power (3302 energy), and it will be peeling down the point for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes dead glassy with an 8ft swell and no wind – nearly perfect conditions. If you can get out mid-week, this is it.
Wednesday the 29th keeps the goodness with an 8ft SW swell, but the period stretches out to a very long 17 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving, and it will work great at this point. Winds are light cross-off, keeping the faces clean. Thursday the 30th offers another glassy morning with 6ft swell – a more relaxed session. Friday the 31st sees the swell bump back to 10ft in the morning, and the afternoon jumps to a massive 13ft with that 17-second period. That’s very big, very powerful (8931 energy), and it’s only for experts. The wind is light, so it could be the best big-wave session of the whole run if you’ve got the nerve.
The first weekend of August (Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd) stays solid. Saturday morning is glassy with 10ft swell – clean and powerful. Sunday holds clean cross-off winds with 8ft swell. Monday the 3rd is the second standout: a massive 18ft W groundswell with clean cross-off winds. That’s huge, with an energy reading of 12,045. Do not paddle out there unless you know what you’re doing. This is a big-wave day for experts only.
After that, it all falls apart. From Tuesday the 4th through to Saturday the 8th, it’s nothing but onshore winds, rain, and messy conditions. The swell is there, but the wind kills every session. It’s a long, frustrating gap after that Monday peak.
Wrap-up: your two best bets are Tuesday, July 28th for that glassy, mid-size perfection, and Monday, August 3rd for the big, clean groundswell if you’re an expert. Everything else is either small or blown out.

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.
