The Lowdown
Alright, let's break this down in feet and miles per hour.
We have a solid stretch of swell coming into North Point, a classic point break that really lights up with a good south-west groundswell. The water is slightly warmer than average for this time of year, about 67°, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
We start on Tuesday 21 July, but honestly, that day is a bust. The swell is running about 8ft but the wind is cross-on and messy. The real action kicks off the next day.
Wednesday 22 July is where it gets good. A solid 12ft south-west swell rolls in with a long 14-second period, and the conditions are clean all day – light easterly cross-off in the morning, then a light south-easterly cross-off in the afternoon. This is proper groundswell and it’s going to line up perfectly along the point. The wave energy is pumping. This is expert territory – that size and power is not for the faint of heart. But if you’ve got the skill, this is a standout.
Thursday 23 July keeps the quality high. Swell drops a touch to around 8ft but the wind goes true offshore out of the north-east in the morning – glassy, clean waves with that same long 14-second period. Afternoon stays light and cross-off. Another day for the experienced crew.
By Friday 24 July, the swell drops right off to about 5ft and the period shortens to 12 seconds. It’s still clean, but much smaller and less powerful. Better for a longboard or a step-down board.
Saturday 25 July the swell shifts a bit west-south-west, still around 5ft, but the wind picks up strong from the north – cross-off but windy. Gets a bit bumpy.
Sunday 26 July – a massive groundswell hits, 13ft with a 15-second period, but the wind is howling from the west and south-west. It’s unsurfable. Huge energy (6169), but the wind ruins it.
Monday 27 July is still messy with strong cross-on wind. Big swell, no quality.
The next highlight is Tuesday 28 July. The swell drops back to a manageable 8ft, still south-west, and the wind goes cross-off from the east in the morning, then true offshore from the east-north-east in the afternoon. Clean again, solid energy. This is a top pick for experienced surfers.
Wednesday 29 July is a very special window. The swell drops to 4-6ft but the period stretches out to a very long 17 seconds. That’s proper, clean ground swell. The morning has a light north-easterly cross-off, and the afternoon goes glassy flat calm out of the west-north-west. For a point break, that long period will wrap in beautifully. Don’t miss this day.
Thursday 30 July holds some of that long-period energy, glassy again in the morning, but the afternoon goes onshore and the swell shifts a bit.
Friday 31 July is a big day. Swell jumps back up to 12-13ft from the west-south-west with a 15-second period. Energy is massive. But the wind is cross and cross-on – it’s going to be lumpy and tough. Only for the diehards.
Saturday 1 August through to Sunday 2 August – the wind is strong and messy with rain. Not worth it.
Monday 3 August brings another solid pulse: 12ft with a 15-16 second period, and the wind is light cross-off out of the north-east and north-north-east. Clean again, huge energy. A fantastic day for experts.
Tuesday 4 August keeps the size at 10ft, true offshore wind in the morning from the north-east. Clean and powerful. Another top day.
Wednesday 5 August – we’re still in the groove. 10ft south-west swell, 15 seconds, offshore north-easterly breeze in the morning and light cross-off in the afternoon. Energy is still strong. This is a dream run.
If I’m picking my top days: Wednesday 22 July and Monday 3 August are the real standouts – big, clean, long-period south-west groundswell with good wind all day. Get out there.

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.
