The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for North Point, and let me tell you, it’s a bit of a wild ride.
We’re staring down the barrel of a massive pulse of south-west swell heading our way, but the wind is going to be the big story early on. For the first few days, it’s a write-off. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th have some serious size, with waves pushing 12 ft to 13 ft, but the wind is just howling from the wrong angles, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. You’d be mad to paddle out.
The first real window of opportunity opens Monday morning, the 7th of September. The swell settles a touch to a solid 12 ft, but the wind turns off-shore and light, coming from the south-east. The water is about average for this time of year, and the wave energy is absolutely pumping at over 6300 units. The period is a very long 16 seconds, which is classic groundswell. This is going to be a proper, powerful, clean wave. It’s only for advanced surfers at this size, but it’s the first standout. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
The next few days keep the goods coming. Tuesday the 8th is a beauty, with the swell holding at 13 ft from the WSW and the wind staying light and cross-off. The energy is massive, hitting nearly 8000 units. It’s exceptional for experts, but the wind on Tuesday afternoon is just about perfect.
Wednesday the 9th sees a bit of a drop to 10 ft, but the wind turns straight offshore from the north-east, making for some of the cleanest waves of the whole run. The energy is still very strong at over 4600 units. This is another top contender.
After that, the swell slowly backs off. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are still good, with clean morning conditions and waves in the 6 ft to 6 ft range, but it’s not the same level of power. The wind is light and cross-off, which is nice for a more relaxed session.
Then we hit a major gap. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Friday the 18th of September, the wind swings onshore and nasty. Even though there’s plenty of swell, it’s going to be blown out, choppy, and basically unsurfable. The later part of that week even sees near-gale force winds. At this point, with the beach setup and the strong wind, I’d say this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
But hold on. The final day of the forecast, Sunday the 20th of September, throws a massive curveball. The swell absolutely detonates, hitting 21 ft from the WSW with energy over 17,000 units. It’s a marginal forecast because of the wind, which is a light cross-on, but those conditions are almost laughably small compared to the size of the swell. If you’re an absolute expert, this is a once-in-a-while kind of day. It’s the other standout, but it’s a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed.
Overall, the best of the best is looking like Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s where the quality, size, and wind all line up.
Stay safe, 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.
