The Lowdown
Righto, let's get into it for North Point. The short version is, this is a run for experienced surfers only, with some sizeable, powerful south-west groundswells on the way. The water's sitting at about 64°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no real surprises there.
First decent chance comes on Tuesday, 15 September. We've got a clean 10 ft south-west groundswell rolling in, with a nice 14-second period pushing some serious energy (3665). The wind is a light 6 mph offshore from the ENE, so it's going to be glassy and lined up. This is proper, heavy point surf for the advanced crew. Get it while it's good because the wind swings around to a cross-shore in the arvo, dropping the quality a touch.
We pick it back up on Wednesday morning, 16 September. The swell has dropped to 7 ft but it's still clean and cross-off with a 13-second period. The energy is still solid (1398). Wednesday afternoon should be a ripper too – swell drops to 5 ft but the wind is near nothing at 3 mph and cross-off, keeping it super clean. That's a sneaky good session for the more experienced surfer.
The weekend gets messy with a lot of cross-onshore wind, so we'll skip to the real highlight. Sunday, 20 September, looks like a proper standout. The morning delivers 7 ft of south-west swell, but the magic is in the wind – dead glassy, 3 mph from the SW. That's going to be smooth as a mirror. The energy is moderate (1412), but the conditions will make it feel twice as good. This is the best on offer for the next week, but it's still a solid wave for experienced riders.
After that, the swell stays in the 8 ft to 10 ft range for the next few days but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so quality drops. A bloke could get a few, but it'll be a fight.
Now, looking a bit further out, 24 and 25 September are wild cards. There's a massive, very long-period south-west groundswell predicted – we're talking 18 ft to 20 ft with 18-second periods and insane energy readings (up to 23950). Those numbers are huge. The wind is actually light or glassy on the 25th morning, which is a rare combo for that size. This is dangerous, expert-only territory. It could be a once-in-a-blue-moon session for a handful of absolute chargers, or it could be a washing machine. It's far out, so don't bank on it, but keep a very close eye.
Into the last week of September, the swell starts to taper back to 10 ft to 11 ft with improving, clean cross-off winds on the 26th, 27th, and 28th. Those days all offer excellent, powerful point waves for the experienced crew. Plenty of juice and well-shaped by the long-period groundswell, but it'll be solid.
The 29th and 30th see the swell fade fast and the wind turns nasty, so the run is over by then.
Crowds are a possibility at North Point, especially on the good days. This break is fairly consistent, so there are plenty of options across the 16 days, but it's almost exclusively for advanced to expert surfers. If you're a beginner, give this stretch a miss.

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.
