The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s cookin’.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for North Point, but the wind is going to be a real pain for the first week. We’re looking at a solid, long-period groundswell lining up from the SW, but a stubborn cross-onshore wind is going to leave it choppy and lumpy for days. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
The first real chance for a clean wave comes on Friday morning, August 28th. We’ve got clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the ESE, and the swell is a solid 8ft from the SW, with a good 12-second period. That’s a proper point break wave, but the energy is moderate (1556), so it’s not going to be a monster. Still, it’s the first window of decent shape in a week of onshore junk.
The standout, and I mean the real standout, is Saturday afternoon, August 29th. The wind swings offshore from the N, the sky is clear, and the swell is 8ft from the SW with a 16-second period. That’s a long, clean groundswell with a combined energy of 2905, and it’s going to be pure. Clean waves, no chop, and plenty of push. North Point (North-Point) is a point break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. Crowds are sometimes a problem here, so get out there early.
We do have a massive pulse of energy coming through on Wednesday, August 26th, with an 18ft swell from the WSW and an 18-second period. That’s over 18,000 in energy, but the wind is howling onshore and it’s raining. That’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s. Stay out of the water that day unless you’re an absolute expert.
Looking further out, the week of September 1st is still tricky. The mornings are clean, but the conditions are only marginal. The real fire lights up again on Friday, September 4th. We’ve got a glassy morning with an 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, and 6072 energy. That’s a solid, clean, long-period point wave with no wind. Then Saturday, September 5th, is the absolute gem of the whole forecast. The morning is clean with an 12ft WSW swell and a moderate offshore breeze. The afternoon? 16ft from the WSW, 16-second period, 12448 energy, and glassy conditions. That’s exceptional, expert-level surf. If you can handle it, that’s the session to circle.
That’s the long and short of it. There’s a week of waiting for the wind to play nice, but when it does, the payoff is real.
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.
