The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on North Street.
I'll level with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough stretch. We’re staring down a long gap of poor conditions and puny swell. The first half of the forecast is a total washout. Things perk up just a little toward the end, but only one session really stands out.
Right off the bat on Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, we’ve got a weak 2ft southeast swell with a short 7-second period. The combined swell energy is a paltry 53 (weak). Wind is cross-off from the WNW at 15 mph, so it’s clean but tiny. Water temp is 75°, right around average for this time of year.
Thursday and Friday, July 30th and 31st, are even worse. Swell drops to 2ft or less, winds go onshore, and it’s choppy. This sorry pattern sticks around all through the first week of August – nothing but small, messy waves and cross-on breezes. Don't waste your gas.
The only glimmer of hope comes on Sunday morning, August 9th. We get a 4ft south swell, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 179 (moderate), which is the best we see all forecast. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WSW at 9 mph, so the surface will be glassy. It’s still not perfect – the commentary says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – but in this lineup, that’s the one to point to. The swell direction is south, which is close enough to the optimum southeast to work. It’s small enough for intermediates, and you might have company since crowds are possible here.
After that, the second week fades back into tiny, poor-quality surf. A little clean patch on Monday morning, August 10th, with a light offshore wind, but the swell is only 2ft – hardly worth the wetsuit.
Bottom line: if you’re paddling out, make it Sunday morning, August 9th. Everything else is a right-off. Stay patient, mate – things can always turn around.

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.
