The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.

We're looking at a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with a few standout windows if you're patient and pick your spots. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°F at North Point, which is a nice little bonus.

The first real action kicks off this Saturday morning, the 15th of August. We've got a solid 8ft groundswell coming from the WSW, with a period of 14 seconds. The wind is a cross-off, so it's going to be clean. The energy is significant, with a combined swell energy reading of 2613, meaning there's plenty of power in the water. Saturday afternoon looks even better – the wind drops to a gentle breeze, still cross-off, and the swell holds at 8ft. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The crowd situation is "sometimes," so you might have some company, but it's a high-quality point break.

Sunday the 16th sees the swell jump to 10ft, and with a period of 15 seconds, it's a proper groundswell. However, the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph cross-off. While it's not onshore, it's going to be a bit of a battle. The energy is even higher at 3569, but the conditions are described as marginal. This is advanced territory only.

Then we hit a rough patch. From Monday the 17th right through until the end of the week, things get ugly. Forget about it. Strong onshore winds, rain, and massive, raw swell. The wind is howling from the WSW at 25-28 mph, with swell heights up to 15ft. The energy goes through the roof – 19066 on Monday morning – but it's all wind and chop. This is a total write-off for paddle surfing. Honestly, with that much wind and that kind of swell, the setup at this beach-and-reef point looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The reward comes on Friday the 21st of August. The morning is a gem. The wind swings to a light offshore breeze from the NE, only 6 mph, creating clean, glassy faces. The swell is still a solid 12ft from the SW, with a 14-second period, bringing a combined energy of 4590. This is the standout window. It's not for the faint of heart at that size, but for the advanced crew, this is the session to circle on the calendar. The crowd might be "sometimes" again, but everyone will be stoked.

We get another good look on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning is glassy – dead calm, with the wind coming from the west at just 3 mph. The swell is 10ft from the SW, with a 14-second period and energy of 3154. For a brief moment, it's going to be perfect.

The following week starts with a stormy mess from the 24th to the 26th, with strong winds and oversized, blown-out swell. The waves get up to 21ft on the 25th, but it's a complete disaster with near-gale force winds. Stay out of the water.

We finally get a reprieve on Thursday the 27th of August. The morning brings a clean, cross-off wind from the NE at just 3 mph. The swell is a more manageable 8ft from the SW, with a 14-second period and energy of 2773. This is another excellent window for experienced surfers, a much more pleasant size than the previous week. The rest of the period into the end of August looks like a mix of building wind again, so make the most of that Thursday morning.

So, to wrap it up: the clear standout is the morning of Friday the 21st of August. Get that date locked in. The early morning of Sunday the 23rd and the morning of Thursday the 27th are also very promising windows. The rest is a story of waiting for the wind to play nice.

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.
