The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. It’s a grim run of small, messy, or blown-out conditions for the whole 16-day stretch. There’s no real standout session, just a couple of moments that might get you a few grovelly ones if you’re desperate. I can only really give you a nod for a brief window and one morning of glass.
For most of the period, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swells. The energy barely registers. Friday the 17th into the weekend, we’re looking at ankle-to-knee high lines from the south with periods around 5 seconds; that’s just wind chop, not surf. Saturday the 18th sees a jump in the wind, with a moderate breeze onshore making a mess of any small bump.
The first chance of anything rideable sneaks in on North Street Sunday the 19th. We get a gentle offshore from the NNW and the swell shows a pulse from the SSE at 3ft with a period of 7 seconds. It’s still nothing special – combined wave energy is only 94 – but it’s clean. The same continues into Sunday afternoon with 2ft from the south. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Then it’s back to tiny, choppy junk until Wednesday the 22nd. Wednesday morning, the swell jumps to 7ft from the south (8-second period) and the combined energy hits 662, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the SW. It’s too big for beginners. Wednesday afternoon cleans up with a moderate offshore from the WNW, dropping to 4ft and 190 energy. That’s the biggest, cleanest window of the whole outlook – a serious option for experienced surfers only.
From there, it’s a slow fade back into small, onshore drivel. The only other flicker of hope is Saturday the 25th morning. The ESE wind goes glassy, and we get 4ft from the east with a short 6-second period and 130 energy. It’s small and weak, but glassy. That’s your consolation prize for the second week.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.
Bottom line: if you’re a competent surfer, make the most of Wednesday the 22nd afternoon and maybe that glassy Saturday morning. Otherwise, don’t bother. For everyone else, it’s kitesurfing weather on the windy days.

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.
