The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a proper run of groundswell lining up at North Point starting this Tuesday, September 8th. It’s a point break, advanced territory, and it’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. The big story is the size and the period – this is proper, powerful groundswell, and it’s going to be a handful.
The week kicks off on Tuesday morning with a solid 13ft swell out of the WSW, with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive at 7820. The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean but the forecast says it’s marginal due to tide. By Tuesday afternoon, it drops to 12ft from the SW, still with that 16-second period, and the energy is still strong at 7126. The wind goes lighter, SE at 9 mph, and the conditions are described as exceptional for experts. This is the real deal for experienced surfers only.
Wednesday morning, September 9th, is a standout. We’ve got 10ft of WSW swell with a 15-second period and 3750 energy. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, which is a major positive. It’s clean, powerful, and lined up. Wednesday afternoon gets even better in terms of wind: offshore from the east at a glassy 3 mph, with the swell dropping slightly to 8ft but still at 15 seconds and 3183 energy. This is the best window – clean, offshore, and pumping.
Thursday afternoon, September 10th, is another highlight. The swell drops to 7ft from the WSW, but the period holds at 15 seconds and the energy is 1956. The wind goes glassy from the WNW at 3 mph. That’s a magic window for a point break – clean, glassy conditions with a long-period groundswell. It’ll be a bit more forgiving than the earlier days, but still a proper wave.
Friday morning, September 11th, brings a very long 19-second period swell at 5ft from the WSW, with 3218 energy. That’s a super long-period groundswell, which can be a bit tricky at some spots, but for a point break like this, it’s going to be super clean and lined up. The wind is a light cross-off from the north at 6 mph.
After that, the weekend gets messy. Saturday and Sunday, September 12th and 13th, are a write-off with strong onshore winds and poor conditions. The swell stays big, but the wind ruins it.
The following week, starting Monday, September 14th, there’s a chance for a clean-up. The swell is still 12ft from the WSW with a 14-second period and 4822 energy. The wind is light cross from the NW at 6 mph. It’s described as marginal, but with that light wind and a point break, it could be worth a look for the experienced crew.
The rest of the second week, from September 15th through to the 22nd, is a mix of onshore winds, rain, and messy conditions. The swell remains big, often over 10ft, but the wind is onshore, making it a battle. The only real bright spot is a complete outlier on Wednesday, September 23rd – a massive 21ft swell from the WSW with a very long 16-second period and a whopping 21208 energy. The wind is cross from the SSE at 12 mph. The forecast says it’s too big for the break, so unless you’re a tow-in charger, give it a miss.
The best of the whole run is Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, with that clean offshore wind and solid groundswell. Tuesday afternoon, September 8th, is the other standout for the big-wave hunters. After that, the window is tight, but Thursday afternoon, September 10th, with glassy conditions, is a real gem.
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.
