The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got one spot on the menu for the next couple of weeks, and it’s all about North Point. This is a point break, advanced territory, and it’s fairly consistent with a decent exposure to the SW swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Things kick off proper on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. We’re looking at a solid 10-foot SW groundswell with a long 14-second period. The energy is cranking at a strong 3549. The wind is light and offshore from the ESE, so it’s going to be clean. This is proper, powerful wave energy for the experienced crew. The wind stays light through the afternoon, but it swings cross-on, so the morning is the window.
Wednesday, July 29th is a beauty. The swell eases a touch to 8 feet, still from the SW, with a 13-second period. The wind is offshore from the NE all day, light to gentle. Clean lines all day long. A rippable morning.
Thursday, July 30th is a solid option. The swell drops to 6 feet but the period is a long 14 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 15 km/h. The surf is clean and fun, with moderate energy (around 1800-1900). Good for a long session.
Now, the standout. Saturday, August 1st is the one. The swell jumps to 16 feet from the SW, with a 15-second period. The energy is massive (11837). The wind is light offshore from the ESE. This is huge, clean, powerful groundswell. Only for experts, and the crowd will be there. This is the best on offer.
Sunday, August 2nd still has a solid 12-foot SW swell, but the wind gets a bit tricky in the afternoon. The morning is better with an offshore N breeze.
From Monday, August 3rd through Sunday, August 9th, the winds are a mess. We get onshore, cross-on, and strong breezes with rain and lumpy conditions. Swell stays big, often 12 feet to 20 feet, but the wind just ruins it. This stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through this period.
Then, things clean up again. Monday, August 10th morning delivers a 12-foot SW swell with a shorter 11-second period, but the wind is light offshore from the SE. Clean and fun, with moderate energy (3424).
Tuesday, August 11th has a 10-foot SW swell, but the wind is a fresh 30 km/h from the north. It’s offshore, so it’s clean, but the chop will be there. It’s a long-range call, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Wednesday, August 12th is a no-go. Near gale winds from the west are gonna blow it out.
So, to wrap it up: the best surf is Saturday, August 1st for the big, clean, expert-level groundswell. The secondary pick is Wednesday, July 29th for a cleaner, more manageable day. The rest has a lot of wind issues.
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.
