The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at North Point.

These next couple of weeks have some serious swell, mostly from the southwest, but the wind is going to mess it up for a lot of the time. The real sweet spot is around the 8th and 9th of September – that’s your window for clean, heavy waves. Before that, it’s mostly a struggle, with a few moments that might be worth a look if you’re keen.

We start on Sunday, August 30th, with a 10ft WSW groundswell, a very long 16-second period, and a ton of energy (4320). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NW, so it’ll be a little bumpy, but not a total loss. The water is about 65°, which is a degree warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

Then it gets rough. From Monday morning, August 31st, through to Saturday, September 6th, the wind is onshore, cross-on, or just too strong. We’re talking moderate to fresh breezes, sometimes a strong breeze, with gusts up to 28 mph. The swell stays solid – a 16ft WSW swell on Friday, September 4th – but the cross-onshore wind will trash it. For any open beach, this is more of a kite-surfing situation. The combined energy is massive – 9349 on Friday morning and 11654 on Friday afternoon – but it’s just a mess.

Now, hold on for Tuesday, September 8th. That’s your standout. Early morning, clear skies, a 13ft SW groundswell (16 seconds, 9268 energy), and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. The report says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers” – and that’s spot on. It’s big and powerful, over 8ft, so this is for experienced crew only. It’ll be clean and lined up perfectly for the point. Crowds can be a thing here, but for waves this good, it’s worth it.

Wednesday, September 9th, is nearly as good. A 15ft WSW groundswell, again with a long 16-second period (10956 energy), and a clean cross-offshore wind from the north-northeast. The afternoon looks even better. Another day for the experts, but the quality is undeniable. The breaks will be running long and smooth.

After that, the wind turns back onshore from Thursday afternoon, September 10th, and the quality drops. The swell stays solid – 13ft to 16ft through to Saturday, September 12th – but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy. There’s a marginal window on Saturday afternoon, September 12th, with a 16ft WSW swell and a moderate cross-onshore, but it won’t be clean. By Sunday, September 13th, it’s back to lumpy and messy, and that holds through to Monday, September 14th, with a dropping swell.

So, to be straight: the only true standouts are Tuesday, September 8th, and Wednesday, September 9th. Get on those if you’re up for a proper, heavy, clean session. The rest is a battle with the wind or just too messy to get excited about. Stay patient.

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.
