Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's break this down.
The next 16 days are a tough watch for us at North Street. There’s a long, drawn-out period of flattish, choppy surf with nothing really worth paddling out for until you’re deep into the second week. We’re in for a proper drought.
Right now, through the rest of this week and most of the next, the wave energy is just not there. The combined energy sits between 4 and 83, which is very weak. You’re looking at ankle-to-knee high windswell, mostly from the east or southeast, with periods short and sloppy. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, and the water temp is about average for this time of year. Nothing is happening.
Things finally perk up a bit on Sunday the 19th. A new south swell pushes through, lifting the swell to 4 ft from the south with a bit more period. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 135, which is a real bright spot. But the wind is from the east at 9 mph, keeping it cross-on and choppy. It’s not clean, but it’s the first proper pulse we’ve seen.
Then on Monday the 27th, a bigger south groundswell shows up. Swell height hits 5 ft from the south, period at 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a very strong 413 (moderate energy). That’s the most size we’ve seen in the whole outlook. The problem is the wind is blowing from the east at 12 mph, making it cross-onshore and choppy again. For a beach/jetty setup like this, onshore wind kills the quality. This size is too big for beginners, and with the bumpy conditions, it’s really only for the keen local crew on bigger boards. It’s a standout for size, but not for perfection.
If the wind direction doesn't keep it clean, it might be a better session for the kite surfers than the paddle crowd.

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.
