The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. We’ve got a proper 16-day window at North Point, a top-shelf point break for advanced surfers only. The swell’s hanging around, but wind is gonna be the deciding factor.
Water temp is 66°F at the start, a touch warmer than average.
First real chance to get wet is Friday August 21st. Thursday the 20th is mostly cross-onshore junk, but Friday morning – pure glass. 0 mph wind, a clean 12ft WSW groundswell at 14 seconds. Wave energy is strong at 5010. That’s the one to aim for. Friday afternoon gets a light cross-onshore, still okay.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd have 10ft to 8ft swells but the wind is cross or cross-onshore. Surfable but not epic.
Monday the 24th is messy, and Tuesday the 25th gets hammered by 28 mph onshore winds and 13ft SW swell – total mess. Wednesday the 26th keeps the big 15ft SW groundswell (energy 9699) but onshore wind kills it.
Thursday August 27th morning is your second standout. ENE offshore at 6 mph, clean, with 12ft SW groundswell at 13 seconds. Energy at 3775. That’s clean and solid – offshore wind cleaning up a solid 12ft groundswell.
From Friday the 28th onward, swell drops to 4ft to 8ft with mostly cross or cross-onshore winds. Monday August 31st morning has 8ft WSW groundswell at 14 seconds with light offshore wind – worth a look.
Into September, Tuesday the 1st shows 12ft WSW swell with 17-second periods – huge groundswell – but cross-onshore wind spoils it. Wednesday the 2nd is the same story with fresh cross-shores.
So, Friday 21st morning and Thursday 27th morning are your winners. The rest is wind-blown or choppy.
Stay salty,
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.
