Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a solid run of Southern Ocean groundswell at North Point over the next couple of weeks, but it’s a real game of patience. The wind is going to be the main character here, and for a lot of the first week, it’s just not playing nice. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real surf of the period kicks off on Friday the 10th, but honestly, it’s a write-off. There’s a 6ft SW swell with a 12 mph cross-on wind, and the sea state is choppy and messy. The combined energy is moderate (1328), but it’s not worth paddling out for. Saturday and Sunday (11th and 12th) see the swell building fast—by Sunday afternoon we’re looking at 12ft on a 17-second period, which is a serious, long-period groundswell from the SW. The energy is getting very strong (7676), but the wind is still cross-on, so it’s going to be a bumpy, lumpy mess. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not going to be fun.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout window is Tuesday the 14th. Morning brings a 10ft SW swell, 15-second period, with a light NE offshore breeze. That’s clean. The afternoon goes glassy with zero wind. This is your best bet by far in the first week—excellent, clean surf at North Point, but it’s a big, powerful wave for experienced surfers only. The energy is moderate to strong (4292 in the morning). This is the one to circle.
After that, the wind gets ugly again. Wednesday the 15th sees a 19 mph N cross-off wind, which is clean but the swell is already dropping. By Thursday the 16th, we’re into a fresh to strong cross-shore mess with a new WSW swell, and from there it’s a long stretch of onshore, lumpy, and poor conditions. Saturday the 18th is a complete no-go with 16ft swell and 31 mph onshore wind—that’s for kite surfers, not paddle surfers.
The next glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Sunday the 19th, where we’ve got a 16ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is only a gentle cross-on. It’s still big and messy, but it’s a marked improvement. The energy is extreme (9582). This is for the experts only, and honestly, it’s still a gamble.
The second week gets a little more promising if you’re patient. The next real standout is Thursday the 23rd, with a 12ft SW swell, 13-second period, and a light NNE cross-off wind. Clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate (3403). Friday the 24th is also solid with a 12ft WSW swell and a light N cross-off in the morning. These are your best bets in the second week, but remember, it’s a long-range forecast, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, North Point is a consistent spot that’s going to keep pumping, but the wind is going to ruin more than half the run. The absolute standout is Tuesday the 14th—get on it.
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.
