The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at your local stretch of coast for the next couple of weeks. Buckle up.

First up, the water temp is sitting right around what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The main event here is North Point, a solid point break that needs a decent south-west swell to light up, and it’s fairly consistent when it does. This spot is for advanced surfers only, and it can get a bit crowded at times, but for the right swell, it's a gem.

The first few days look a bit ordinary. This Sunday, the 19th, we’ve got a chunky 10ft swell from the west-southwest, but the wind is on it and the energy is strong, so it’s a messy, blown-out affair. Not worth paddling out for. Monday and Tuesday are the same story – decent swell size but onshore winds and poor surf conditions. The wind is just not playing ball.

Now, Wednesday the 22nd is where the tone shifts. That morning, we’ve got a clean 10ft south-west swell with a cross-offshore breeze from the east-southeast, and the energy is pumping. That’s good, but the afternoon is the real standout. Glassy conditions, a 10ft south-west swell with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is up there. This is the kind of session that makes you forget about the work week. Thursday the 23rd keeps the clean vibes going with a smaller, but still clean, 8ft swell in the morning and a 7ft swell in the afternoon. The wind is cross-offshore, and the conditions are clean. Friday the 24th is a drop-off, with a smaller 6ft swell and a cross-shore wind that creates some chop.

The weekend of the 26th and 27th takes a real turn for the worse. Saturday the 25th is a write-off with a 10ft cross-on swell and fresh winds making it lumpy and poor. Sunday the 26th is the same – rain, strong onshore winds, and a messy 10ft swell. Avoid it.

However, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are back on form. Monday morning brings a clean 10ft south-west swell with a cross-offshore breeze and strong energy. Tuesday morning is the pick of that spell: a 8ft south-west swell with a 12-second period, but the wind is offshore from the northeast. That’s a clean, glassy morning with plenty of power. The afternoon even sees a 4ft swell with a very long 20-second period, which is a nice, clean, mellow session.

From the 29th, the swell drops off significantly. We’re looking at smaller, longer-period swells under 5ft, but the wind is mostly cross-offshore, so the conditions are clean. The energy is moderate. Thursday the 30th is a bit of a mix, with a small 3ft south-west swell. Then we hit the real gold.

The last few days of the month and into August are something special. Friday the 31st morning is glassy with an 8ft west-southwest swell and a 16-second period, and the energy is strong. That is a beautiful combo. But the absolute highlight is Saturday the 1st of August. Morning: a massive 16ft west-northwest swell with a cross-offshore breeze and an energy reading that’s off the charts. That’s a big, clean, powerful swell. The afternoon is glassy with a 13ft swell. Then Sunday the 2nd of August is the one to circle on your calendar. Glassy conditions, a 13ft west-southwest swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is exceptional. That is a truly massive, clean, long-period groundswell. This is expert territory only – 13ft is not for the faint of heart. The afternoon is a bit smaller but still solid.

For the best of the best, I’d say Wednesday afternoon the 22nd and Sunday morning the 2nd of August are the standouts. The 22nd is a classic clean, powerful session, and the 2nd of August is a monster swell in perfect conditions, but it’s one for the pros only. The long period of the 2nd August swell will be best at North Point as a point break, so it won't just close out.

Stay safe out there.

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.
