The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s shaping up. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run ahead. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with hardly anything to get excited about. The first real chance of even a paddle comes on Thursday the 3rd of September, but before that, it’s a write-off. From now until then, there’s basically nothing rideable.
Thursday 3rd September morning offers the first glimmer at North Street. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the ESE, and the period is a short 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (114), so it’s not going to have any punch. The wind is light and cross-offshore though, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. This is really for the die-hards who just need to get wet.
Then it’s back to nothing much for days. There’s a bit of a bump in energy on Sunday 6th September, with the swell pushing up to 4ft from the ENE and the period dropping to a weak 7 seconds. The combined energy hits moderate levels (150 in the morning, 210 in the afternoon), but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NE, making it choppy and messy. It’s still rated as poor surf. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 77°, which is a solid 5° above average – that’s notable.
After that, the entire second week looks grim. Small swell, poor wind directions, and consistently low energy readings. There’s a brief flicker on Monday 14th September with 4ft from the ENE, but it’s onshore and weak. The best I can honestly say is that if you’re desperate, the cleanest windows will be the mornings with light offshore winds on the 3rd and 4th of September, but don’t expect any wave size. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. I wish I had better news.

Information about the North Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for North Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at North Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our North Street 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 Street) 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 Street 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.
