North Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a seat. Rusty here, and I’ve had a good look at what’s on the cards for North Point. We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the horizon, and this point break is set to be the main game in town for the next couple of weeks.

We kick off on Monday, the 7th of September. The early morning session is where it’s at. A clean 12 ft south-west swell with a 16-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the SSE. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 65°, which is a nice bonus. The combined energy is massive at 6307, so there’s serious power in the water. This is advanced territory, but for those with the skills, it’s going to be a ripper.

The afternoon goes a bit lumpy with a fresh cross breeze, so the window is definitely the morning. Tuesday the 8th looks the pick of the first week. The morning has a clean 13 ft swell from the WSW, big and powerful, but the afternoon is the true standout. You’ve got an 12 ft swell with a 16-second period, a light cross-off breeze, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is still massive at 6917. This is exceptional surf for experienced surfers.

Wednesday the 9th sees a drop in swell to 10 ft, but an offshore breeze from the ENE keeps things clean in the morning. The swell energy is still strong at 3760. Thursday the 10th delivers a real gem in the afternoon. The swell is a bit smaller at 6 ft, but the wind goes glassy from the west, the period is a long 15 seconds, and the waves will be clean as a whistle. Perfect for a sunset session.

Friday the 11th sees a long-period groundswell from the WSW at 19 seconds, but it’s a bit choppy in the afternoon. The swell is 7 ft, but that long period means it’ll be lining up beautifully at the point. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are a write-off with strong onshore winds making a mess of things. We’ve got a three-day gap of poor conditions.

Monday the 14th brings back clean conditions in the morning with a 10 ft swell and a light cross-off breeze. The winds stay poor through the middle of the week, with a messy mix of strong cross and onshore winds. The swell jumps up to 16 ft by Thursday the 17th, but it’s blown out. That pattern holds through to the 19th, with a lot of big, messy swell.

Now, for the long-range standout. Sunday the 20th of September has a 15 ft south-west swell with a 14-second period, and it’s looking promising. But the real highlight is Monday the 21st. We’re looking at a 16 ft south-west swell with an 18-second period, a gentle cross breeze, and the combined energy is a massive 17664. This is a huge, long-period groundswell that will be firing down the point. It’s a promising forecast, but being a week and a half out, keep an eye on it. This is expert territory, and with that size, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

This is Rusty, signing off.
