The Lowdown

Alright, let's get this sorted. Rusty here.

First up, we’re looking at North Point. It’s an advanced point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, working best when the swell is coming from the southwest. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch above the norm for this time of year, so a little warmer than usual.

It’s pretty quiet on the surf front right now. There’s some swell, but it’s messy and the conditions are just not cooperating. The forecast is a bit of a rough ride. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th you’ve got some solid SW groundswell pushing in, with combined swell energy hitting around 3149 for Wednesday and peaking at 5478 on Thursday morning. The problem is the wind. It’s a strong breeze from the NNE, setting up a cross-offshore wind on Wednesday, so it’s clean but the scores are low due to questionable tide and swell quality. Thursday the wind swings to a light cross-onshore, which is a bit better, but it’s still not firing cleanly.

Friday the 17th and the weekend get a bit rougher. The swell drops slightly but the wind gets ugly – cross-onshore, onshore, and messy. That Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a real write-off with strong onshores and huge energy (over 9000) but dirty conditions. It looks more like a session for the kite surfers than paddle surfers out there.

After a pretty bleak stretch, there’s a real standout moment. On Friday the 24th of July, things finally click. You’ve got a 10ft SW groundswell, clean, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is a solid 2760, good and powerful. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The swell period is a nice 14 seconds, so it’s a proper long-period groundswell, which will wrap nicely into the point. It’s rated for experienced surfers, and with crowds only showing up sometimes, you might get some good ones to yourself. The morning and afternoon both look excellent.

The week after that goes a bit flat and messy again, with some small, short-period windswell and poor winds. There might be a few alright waves around the 28th, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Big winds and blown-out conditions dominate.

So, bottom line: sit tight through the garbage and aim for Friday the 24th of July at North Point. That’s your best shot at a proper session in this window.

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.
