The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here with the lowdown for North Point. Let’s get through the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off rough. The first few days are a total loss with strong onshore winds and messy, oversized swell. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th have poor to marginal surf. The swell is solid at 6ft to 5ft early, with a wicked onshore wind. The combined wave energy is massive – 8273 and 11777 on Saturday afternoon – but it’s all for nothing with the wind. You’ll be looking at blown-out junk.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st stay marginal. The wind is still cross-onshore or cross, and the surf is choppy. You’re better off waiting.

The first real winner is Wednesday the 22nd. Wednesday morning we’ve got a clean 3.0m SW swell with a 13-second period and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is a strong 3728. The afternoon is even better: glassy, no wind, with the same 3.0m swell stretching to a 14-second period and energy up to 3949. This is excellent stuff but 3.0m is big, so it’s for the experienced surfers only. The water is sitting just below 67°, a touch warmer than normal.

Thursday the 23rd is also really good. Swell comes in at 2.3m in the morning and 2.1m in the afternoon with a long 14-second period from the SW. The wind is cross-offshore and light to moderate, keeping it clean. Good energy levels. Not the standout of Wednesday but a solid day in the water.

Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are back to marginal. Swell drops, cross-shore winds chop it up. No big deal.

Now, look ahead to Sunday the 26th. This is the one to circle, but it’s far out so don’t book the day off yet. The forecast shows a heavy 3.5m SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period in the morning and 16-second in the afternoon. The energy is huge – 6866 and 7009. A light cross-offshore breeze keeps it clean. This is exceptional, but it’s strictly for experts. 3.5m with that kind of period is serious power. North Point being a point break will handle that long period really well.

Monday the 27th holds excellent conditions for experienced surfers with a 3.0m SW groundswell and offshore winds. After that, things wind down. Tuesday the 28th and onwards gets smaller, down to 1.5m or less, and the energy fades. By the time we hit the start of August, it’s marginal and quiet again.

In short: write off the start. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are your best bets early. Then hope for Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th for the real clean, powerful stuff. After that, it goes flat for a while.

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.

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.
