The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for North Point.
Alright, so we're looking at a bit of a slow start here. The first few days are a write-off with strong onshore winds and a big, messy swell. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are a no-go – the wind is just going to trash it, and the combined energy is massive but useless. We're talking heavy, lumpy, cross-onshore slop. You'll be fighting a losing battle.
Patience, mate. The first real window opens up on Tuesday the 28th. That's the standout in the first week. The wind drops right out, going glassy in the afternoon, and we've got a solid 8ft to 10ft groundswell from the southwest with a long 14-second period. That's proper energy (combined energy of 3543 to 3549), and with clean conditions, it’s going to be exceptional for experienced surfers. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so expect a few out.
Wednesday and Thursday the 29th and 30th stay clean with lighter offshore winds, but the swell eases a bit to 6ft - 8ft. Still fun, still rideable, but not the standout.
Friday the 31st through the weekend gets messy again. A new swell arrives, but it's accompanied by strong cross and cross-onshore winds, making it poor. The combined energy is high (over 3000 to 5000), but it's all wind-chop.
Then we hit a dry spell. Nothing really worth paddling out for until Monday the 3rd of August. That's a one-week gap with no real recommendations. But hold on.
Here’s the real long-range promise. The second week starts to look interesting. Monday the 3rd of August is a beauty. We’re back to clean conditions with a light offshore and even glassy afternoon. The swell is a more manageable 7ft to 8ft from the southwest. It's a long period groundswell (12 seconds) so it will have great shape, but it might be a bit straight for a beach break. For a point break like North Point, it’s going to be the best on offer.
Now, the big one. Thursday the 6th of August. This is the true standout of the entire 16-day run. The forecast is showing a massive pulse of WSW swell, with the combined energy peaking at 18,732 in the afternoon. The wave comment says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers" and the swell is predicted to be 25ft. That's huge. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is for experts only, and it's a bit far out, so treat it as a promising but less certain call. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, it gets too big. Friday the 7th through to the 10th, the swell is predicted to be over 21ft and up to 26ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the models are saying it's simply too big for this break. The combined energy is through the roof (over 15,000 to 35,000), but it's a mission, not a session. You'd need a tow-in and a death wish.
So, to wrap it up: your best bets are Tuesday the 28th of July for a solid, clean session, and then circle Monday the 3rd of August and especially Thursday the 6th of August on the calendar. That 6th is the one to watch.
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.
