North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. North Point is your only real look for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a classic deep-water point break that needs a solid SW groundswell to fire. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a proper warm anomaly, so you’ll be leaving the 4/3 at home.

The pattern kicks off with a massive pulse of SW swell, but it’s a total write-off for the first few days. On Sunday the 9th, we’ve got a 13ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, but the wind is howling 16 mph from the WSW, right onshore. The combined energy is a massive 8365 – that’s a lot of push, but it’s all messy. Monday the 10th gets worse – 15ft to 18ft SW swell, but the wind cranks up to 31 mph, making it a total mess. By Tuesday the 11th, the swell is still massive (18ft, 16-second period) and the wind is still cross-onshore. This is all expert-only territory, and honestly, it’s just not surfable for a paddle.

We finally get a window on Wednesday the 12th. The swell drops to a clean 12ft from the SW, 14-second period, and the wind goes light onshore from the WSW at 9 mph. The energy is still hefty at 5814 (moderate-strong), but the conditions are only marginal due to tide or other factors. Still, it’s a big step up from the wind-blown slop.

Thursday the 13th afternoon looks like the first real highlight. The swell is 13ft from the SW, a super-long 17-second period, and the wind turns light offshore from the SW at 6 mph. The energy is 8574, solid. That’s a proper groundswell with clean conditions – the sets will be long and powerful, but with that period, it’ll be a bit walled-up at a point break. That’s the sweet spot.

Friday the 14th is another standout. The morning shows 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. The afternoon is glassy – 10ft SW, 15-second period, with no wind. That’s clean, lined-up, and perfect for experienced surfers. The energy is lower (4121), but the quality is there.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th drop off a bit. The swell goes to 8ft to 12ft from the WSW, with solid cross-offshore winds from the N and NNW. The energy is down (1887 to 5659), but it’s still clean. Not the biggest, but a fun option for the weekend.

Monday the 17th sees another pulse of 13ft to 15ft WSW swell, 17-second period, but the wind turns cross-onshore again. The energy is high (8257 to 9780), but it’s choppy.

Tuesday the 18th morning is a real gem – glassy conditions with the wind coming from the ENE at just 3 mph. The swell is 12ft from the WSW, 15-second period, and the energy is 6482. That’s clean, powerful, and uncrowded if you’re early. Then the arvo gets a bit of a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell bumps up to 13ft from the W.

After that, it goes ugly again. Wednesday the 19th brings a massive 20ft W swell with strong cross-shore winds up to 28 mph, and that’s just dangerous. That run of poor conditions holds through to the end of the week. The best chance in the second week is Saturday the 22nd – a 16ft SW swell, 17-second period, with light onshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph. The energy is massive at 12908. That’s a big, long-period groundswell, but with light wind, it’ll be a clean, heavy beast. That’s a Sunday morning mission for the experienced.

Overall, the standout is Friday the 14th afternoon – glassy, 10ft SW groundswell, perfect conditions. The other real highlight is Tuesday the 18th morning for the same glassy conditions and a bit more size. Everything else is either too windy, too big, or just marginal.
