The Lowdown
Howdy folks, Rusty here. Let's talk North Point.
Right now, it's a total mess. Sunday the 13th is a complete write-off with howling cross-onshore winds and lumpy 10-foot surf. The water temp is about 64°F, which is average for the season.
You gotta wait until Monday morning the 14th for things to clean up. Monday delivers a solid 11-12 foot SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the wind goes light cross-off. The energy in the water is heavy, and conditions are clean, but this is strictly for the experienced crew. The size drops back to 10-foot on Tuesday the 15th, but with a light offshore from the ENE, it's going to be glassy and perfect all morning. This Tuesday morning session is a real standout: classic point-break lines with that long-period swell and perfect wind. Just know this spot can get a crowd.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th see the swell drop into the 5 to 6-foot range. Wednesday afternoon is looking decent, but Thursday is pretty choppy.
Here's the next major highlight. Friday the 18th afternoon. The swell pumps back up to a clean 10-foot from the WSW, the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds, and the wind goes offshore from the NE. This is top-tier groundswell and the point should be firing. A serious standout for the experienced crowd.
Saturday the 19th is a total mess again; strong onshores and rain ruin it. Sunday the 20th through Monday the 21st keeps a massive 11-12 foot swell running, but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. Not the day for a paddle board.
Then we get another fantastic window. Tuesday the 22nd morning is clean with 11-12 foot SW groundswell and a light cross-off breeze. Follow that with Wednesday the 23rd morning: the swell holds at 10-foot, the period is 16 seconds, and the wind is a light offshore from the NE. That Wednesday morning is your other absolute standout – near-perfect conditions for that point.
Things get wild after that. Thursday the 24th has a huge 13-foot swell but with cross-shore winds and rain. Friday the 25th is a gale-force onshore disaster. The swell crashes over the weekend of the 26th and 27th into weak, messy 4-foot waves.
Looking into the second week, Sunday the 27th afternoon brings a raw 18-foot WNW swell with a short 8-second period. It's clean with cross-off winds, but that size and period combo is a monster only for the hardcore. Monday the 28th morning stays big at 15-foot with a strong offshore cleaning it up for the brave.
So, bottom line: don't even bother until Monday the 14th. Your best bets are Tuesday the 15th morning and Wednesday the 23rd morning for that clean, offshore, long-period SW groundswell at North Point.
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.
