The Lowdown
Righto, grab a seat. Rusty here, and I’ve had a good look at what’s on the cards for North Point. We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the horizon, and this point break is set to be the main game in town for the next couple of weeks.
We kick off on Monday, the 7th of September. The early morning session is where it’s at. A clean 12 ft south-west swell with a 16-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the SSE. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 65°, which is a nice bonus. The combined energy is massive at 6307, so there’s serious power in the water. This is advanced territory, but for those with the skills, it’s going to be a ripper.
The afternoon goes a bit lumpy with a fresh cross breeze, so the window is definitely the morning. Tuesday the 8th looks the pick of the first week. The morning has a clean 13 ft swell from the WSW, big and powerful, but the afternoon is the true standout. You’ve got an 12 ft swell with a 16-second period, a light cross-off breeze, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is still massive at 6917. This is exceptional surf for experienced surfers.
Wednesday the 9th sees a drop in swell to 10 ft, but an offshore breeze from the ENE keeps things clean in the morning. The swell energy is still strong at 3760. Thursday the 10th delivers a real gem in the afternoon. The swell is a bit smaller at 6 ft, but the wind goes glassy from the west, the period is a long 15 seconds, and the waves will be clean as a whistle. Perfect for a sunset session.
Friday the 11th sees a long-period groundswell from the WSW at 19 seconds, but it’s a bit choppy in the afternoon. The swell is 7 ft, but that long period means it’ll be lining up beautifully at the point. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are a write-off with strong onshore winds making a mess of things. We’ve got a three-day gap of poor conditions.
Monday the 14th brings back clean conditions in the morning with a 10 ft swell and a light cross-off breeze. The winds stay poor through the middle of the week, with a messy mix of strong cross and onshore winds. The swell jumps up to 16 ft by Thursday the 17th, but it’s blown out. That pattern holds through to the 19th, with a lot of big, messy swell.
Now, for the long-range standout. Sunday the 20th of September has a 15 ft south-west swell with a 14-second period, and it’s looking promising. But the real highlight is Monday the 21st. We’re looking at a 16 ft south-west swell with an 18-second period, a gentle cross breeze, and the combined energy is a massive 17664. This is a huge, long-period groundswell that will be firing down the point. It’s a promising forecast, but being a week and a half out, keep an eye on it. This is expert territory, and with that size, it’s not for the faint-hearted.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
