The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for North Point. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards, but you’ll need to pick your moments carefully because the wind is going to be a bit of a wildcard, especially later on.

The real action kicks off properly on Wednesday, the 22nd of July. That’s the standout window. Tuesday the 21st is a write-off, with a messy 8ft cross-on swell from the SW and a low score – not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is already high at 2120 (moderate-to-strong energy), but the wind just ruins it.

Now, Wednesday morning the 22nd is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 8ft SW groundswell, with a 13-second period delivering some proper push. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze out of the east at 6 mph, meaning the face will be smooth. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is pumping at 4263 (strong). This is quality surf for experienced folks – a bit too much grunt for beginners though. If you can handle it, this is the best session of the whole run.

Wednesday afternoon keeps the quality high, with the swell bumping up to 12ft from the SW and a 14-second period. The wind shifts to a light SE cross-off at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The energy is even stronger at 4370. This is still excellent, but 12ft is big, so this is strictly for the experts.

Thursday the 23rd is still very good. We’ve got offshore wind from the NE in the morning at 9 mph, grooming a 8ft SW swell with a 14-second period. The energy is 2606 (strong). The afternoon drops to 7ft but stays clean. Both sessions are solid.

Friday the 24th sees the swell drop to 5ft, still from the SW, with a 12-second period. The morning has a bit of a cross-off breeze at 12 mph, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with lighter winds. The energy is around 800-848 (moderate). It’s a smaller, fun-sized day, but the conditions are good.

Saturday the 25th is a bit of a letdown. The swell is smaller, around 4ft to 6ft, and the wind is a moderate cross-off from the NNE at 16 mph. The energy is around 900 (moderate), but the scores are low. It’s clean but not really doing much.

Then we hit a rough patch starting Sunday the 26th. A big 15ft SW swell rolls in, but it’s accompanied by a strong cross breeze from the NNW at 25 mph, making it a total mess. The energy is huge at 3256, but you couldn’t pay me to paddle out. This continues through Monday the 27th with onshore winds and more big, junky swell. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

Things settle down again on Tuesday the 28th. The morning looks promising with a 10ft SW groundswell, a 14-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the SE at 3 mph. The energy is a strong 3467. It’s clean and big, so again, for experienced surfers only. The afternoon is a bit smaller and picks up a little cross-chop.

After that, the forecast gets a bit shakier. From Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the run, we see a mix of moderate to large swells, but the wind is often cross or cross-on, with some stormy conditions and even a risk of thunderstorms. The energy readings are still there, but the quality is poor. There’s a potential window on the 2nd of August with a 7ft long-period swell from the WSW (20 seconds!) and lighter winds, but the cross-on wind keeps it from being a classic. The last few days into early August are dominated by messy, windy conditions with big swells again.

So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 22nd of July is your absolute best bet – clean, offshore-tinged, powerful groundswell. Thursday the 23rd is a close second. After that, pick the morning of Tuesday the 28th if you’re keen on big, clean waves. The rest is a gamble or a straight-up miss.

Stay safe 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.

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.
