The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at the North Point zone for the next couple of weeks. Let's get straight to it.
We start Tuesday, August 4th, with a solid 12 ft south-west swell, but a 20 km/h westerly wind is killing it. The water is a touch warmer than average at 67°. The wave energy is a massive 7350, but it's all for nothing with that wind. Things are looking grim.
Wednesday, August 5th, the swell jumps to 15 ft from the west-south-west, and the energy is pumping at 10240. The morning is still a write-off, but the afternoon sees a light north-west breeze. It's still a cross-on, not perfect, but it's your best chance for a few days. The period is 16 seconds, so this is a proper groundswell.
Thursday, August 6th, is a total mess. A fresh 35 km/h cross-shore wind from the north-west will chop up that 13 ft swell. The energy is still high at 7600, but it's a washing machine. Friday and Saturday are more of the same: strong winds, big swell, blown-out. Saturday, August 8th, is huge, with a 21 ft south-west swell, but a near-gale cross-onshore wind makes it unsurfable. The energy hits 21195 on the Saturday afternoon, which is insane, but it's too dangerous.
The first week is a write-off. The wind just won't let up. The swell is always there, often too big, but the quality is shot.
Now, the tease at the end. Look at Monday, August 17th. A massive 25 ft swell from the west is forecast, with energy readings of 18149 and 23664. The wind is onshore, so it's a no-go. Tuesday, August 18th, is still huge, 20 ft from the west-south-west, and the wind is stiff. But the standout is Wednesday, August 19th, morning. A 18 ft west-south-west swell, very long period at 15 seconds, and a light 10 km/h north-north-west wind. That's a cross-offshore breeze, and it's clean. The energy is at a massive 23960. This is a big-wave spot for experts only, but if the wind holds, North Point will be an absolute beast. This is a long-range call, so don't book it off yet, but keep an eye on it.
The gap in good surf is a long, frustrating one. Tuesday and Wednesday the 18th and 19th are the only real hope.
So, my call: The first week is a wash. The real hope is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th, at North Point. Huge, clean, and for the brave only.
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.
