The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer. It’s a tough block of forecast for North Point. We’ve got a huge pulse of swell running through the first week, but the wind is a real problem. The water is a warm 68°, which is way above what we’re used to for this time of year.
The first real action is Friday the 7th of August. There’s a 13ft swell from the WSW, but with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just a mess. Saturday the 8th is a monster – 21ft of SW groundswell hitting, but the wind is howling near gale force cross-onshore. The energy is off the charts at 18404, but you couldn’t even paddle out. Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th is the same story: massive swell (the energy on Tuesday morning is a mind-boggling 51852) but the wind is either on or cross-onshore, just blowing everything out. The size is also well into big-wave territory, only for the very experienced.
Things start to settle from Wednesday the 12th. The swell drops to around 13ft to 15ft, still a long-period groundswell from the SW. The wind eases, but it’s still onshore. The best window of the whole run looks like Friday afternoon the 14th. The swell is a clean 10ft from the SW, with a very long 16 second period, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NNE. That’s the cleanest we’ll see it. It’s only a marginal rating, but that’s the standout session.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th has a shift to a W swell. We’re looking at 15ft to 16ft, but the wind is mostly cross-shore, keeping a chop on the face. Monday the 17th of August is another one to circle. The swell is 16ft from the WSW, and the wind goes cross-offshore from the N. The energy is pumping at 13201, and that cross-off flow might just give us some clean, big waves. It’s a dice roll, but a good one.
From Tuesday the 18th onwards, the wind turns back to being onshore and strong, and the swell slowly fades. By the 22nd, it’s down to 8ft to 10ft, but the wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s a small, choppy end to the run. The honest truth is, there’s no perfect day here. The best chance for a clean wave is Friday the 14th afternoon, with Monday the 17th as a distant second if the wind plays ball. It’s a long wait for a small window.
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.
