The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about North Point in feet and miles per hour.

The first few days are a no-go. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th of August have messy cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell is there, but the wind’s ruining it. Saturday the 29th is where it flips. The morning is still a bit average, but the *Saturday afternoon* session is the real deal. You’ve got a 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the ENE at 12 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and powerful. The wave energy is pumping at 4856 (moderate to strong), and it’s a point break that loves that long period. This is advanced-only.

Sunday the 30th of August keeps the good run going. Another 10ft WSW swell, again with a 17-second period in the morning, and a light NNE breeze. The energy is even bigger at 6043. The afternoon lightens up but goes cross-shore, so the morning is the pick. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue, so get in early.

Then we hit a rough patch. From Monday the 31st of August through to the end of the first week of September, it’s onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and mostly poor. The swell hangs around 10ft to 13ft, but the wind’s wrong—onshore or cross-onshore—and the quality’s gone.

The second week brings a massive spike. Around Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September, we’re looking at a huge 20ft WSW swell with a 14-15 second period. The wave energy is enormous—over 14,000 (very strong). Conditions are marginal with a gentle cross-onshore breeze, but the sheer size makes it a serious proposition for experienced surfers only. The wind is light, so it’s not a total washout, but it’s a beast. Monday the 7th of September holds similar size at 18ft, but the wind picks up again, making it choppier.

The standout for the whole period is without a doubt Saturday 29th August afternoon at North Point. Clean offshore wind, a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, and moderate energy. That’s the best of the batch. Sunday 30th morning is a close second. The big swell in the second week is impressive but less reliable due to the wind.

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.
