The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.

First off, the water’s sitting at about 65°F, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing radical, but you’ll notice it.

The first few days are decent. Wednesday the 9th – morning has a clean 10-foot WSW swell with a 15-second period, and a light ENE offshore breeze. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s got some serious energy – we’re talking 3750 on the combined scale. This is expert territory – big, powerful, clean. The afternoon backs off to about 8 feet, still offshore – still excellent for those who know what they’re doing.

Thursday the 10th drops off – 7 feet, but the wind swings NE and gets stronger, making it cross-off. Clean, but the quality drops – marginal. The afternoon gets mixed with a cross-shore breeze – nothing special.

Friday the 11th – size comes back – 7 feet in the morning, then 8 feet in the afternoon, but the wind’s cross-off again, and the afternoon period jumps to 18 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. Lots of pop, but it might break a bit straight at this point. Energy is strong – 4282 in the arvo.

Saturday the 12th – that’s where it gets messy. Wind swings onshore, surf gets lumpy and choppy. 7 to 10 feet, but it’s not worth paddling out. Sunday the 13th – worse. Strong cross-onshore winds, rain showers, and 10 feet of junky swell. Write-off. If you’re into kite surfing, this might be your stretch, but for a paddle board, forget it.

Now, the standout of the first week – Monday the 14th. We’ve got an 12-foot WSW swell, 14-second period, and it’s glassy in the morning. The wind is dead – just a slight air. That is your window. Clean, powerful, consistent. Combined energy is 4505 – that’s strong. It’s big, so only experts – but it’s the best wave of the first week, hands down. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze and messier – get out early.

Tuesday the 15th – a step back – 12 feet but cross-onshore and choppy. Not great. The rest of that week – Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th – is a grind. Swell drops to 6-8 feet, winds are cross or cross-off, nothing clean for any length of time. Mostly forgettable.

Now, looking further out – more than a week away – things get interesting again. The 18th and 19th see a proper pulse, with the 19th bringing a massive 20-foot swell, but the wind is howling onshore and it’s raining. Total chaos – not for surfing. Energy readings are off the charts – 15561 – but it’s unsurfable.

But then, Sunday the 20th – this is the second standout. The swell is still big – 17 feet SW with a 16-second period – but the wind drops right out in the morning. Light breeze, clean conditions. That’s going to be a heavy, powerful day, only for the most experienced. Energy is at 12513 – very strong. This is the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole outlook, but it’s a week and a half away, so promising but not locked in.

After that, the following week – the 21st through the 24th – has some serious size again, with the 23rd showing 15-foot SW swells with cross-off winds and clean conditions. Another good window, but far out. The 24th still has solid 10-foot plus, with offshore winds, but the swell’s backing off.

So, two true standouts: Monday the 14th and Sunday the 20th – both for experienced surfers only, both with serious size and clean conditions. They’ll be worth the wait.

There are a few gaps in between where it’s just messy or poor – pick your sessions wisely.

Alright, I’m out. Catch you on the water.

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.
