The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, bringin’ you the outlook for North Point.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s a mixed bag for conditions. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at about 67°, so that’s a nice little bonus to start us off.
The first real highlight is this Sunday morning, August 2nd. North Point is pumpin’ with a solid 10ft SW groundswell, and the wind is a clean cross-off breeze from the NE at 12 mph. That’s gonna groom the face real nice. The wave energy is strong (3475), and with a 13-second period, you’re gettin’ proper lines. This is a break for the advanced crew, but it’s gonna be a treat. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, so don’t expect a total solo session, but it’s worth the company. Sunday afternoon looks even better for the experienced surfer, with a lighter NNE breeze at 6 mph, still cross-off, and the same 10ft SW groundswell.
Monday the 3rd drops off a bit. The swell is still a decent 6ft to 6ft, but the wind gets nasty. A fresh NNE breeze at 19 mph on Monday morning and a lumpy NNW cross-shore in the afternoon are gonna chop it up, so it’s a pass for me.
Now, Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the first week is a no-go. The swell gets huge—13ft to 21ft—but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is through the roof (8306 to 20710). That’s way too big for this point, and it’s a washing machine out there. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
We get a little breather on Sunday the 9th, with a 15ft SW swell, but the wind is still messy. It’s not until we hit Thursday, August 13th, that we see a real standout again. The morning is glassy—dead flat wind from the NNW at a mere 3 mph. The swell is a clean 10ft at a super-long 17-second period from the SW. That’s some serious groundswell energy (5304). This is a point break, so that long period is gonna wrap in beautifully. It’s for the advanced surfer, but it’ll be a barrel-huntin’ session if you’re good enough.
The run continues into the weekend. Sunday morning, August 16th, is another glassy session with an 8ft SW swell. The wave energy is still strong (2761), and the 14-second period keeps the quality high. Then Monday the 17th locks in: a 10ft SW groundswell, clean cross-off wind from the NE, and a nice 15-second period. The energy is 4237, and it’s lookin’ clean for the morning. That’s a solid way to kick off the next week.
Overall, the best days are this Sunday, August 2nd, and the glassy mornings on Thursday, August 13th and Sunday, August 16th. The second week looks promising, but keep an eye on the wind.
Rusty, out.

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.
