The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same outlook, but in feet and knots.
So we're looking at a solid run of powerful groundswell hitting North Point. Not much else to choose from early on, as the wind is going to be the main character. The water temp is a normal 65°, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real shot that might be worthwhile is on the afternoon of Friday the 4th. The swell is still pumping, around 16ft from the WSW, and the wind will be lighter. That's a massive amount of ocean energy moving through (10,723), but it's going to be a real beast. North Point is an advanced spot for a reason. This one's for the experienced crew only.
Then, after a messy Saturday, Sunday afternoon the 6th brings a chance. We've got another 16ft WSW swell, but with a very long period of 16 seconds. That's pure groundswell, registering at 11,400. The wind is onshore but light from the SW, so it won't be perfectly clean, but for this kind of size and power, you take it. Expect very long waits between sets and waves that feel like moving mountains. This is the true standout for the whole run. If you're an expert and can pick your window, this is it.
For a more manageable option, look to the end of the outlook. On the morning of the 15th, the swell drops to a friendlier 7ft from the WSW. The magic is a light offshore wind from the east (6 knots). That will really tidy things up. The energy is lower at 1,977, but for a decent, surfable wave without getting pounded, this is the one to aim for. It's a long way out, so don't plan around it yet, but keep it in mind.
So it's a feast or famine forecast. Big, raw, powerful surf for the first week with just a couple of brief windows, then a quieter, cleaner option way down the line.
Stay safe out there.
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.
