The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Alright folks, gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real heartbreaker for North Street. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf with hardly any push. From Tuesday the 11th to Saturday the 22nd of August, the ocean is basically flat, with swell heights barely ticklin’ 1 ft and wave energy in the puny double-digits, like 14 to 20. It’s just not worth paddlin’ out for that kind of dribble unless you’re desperate for a float.
Now, things start to look a tiny bit more interesting right at the tail end of the window. On Sunday the 23rd of August, we get a brief glimpse of hope. Early morning brings a glassy, clean lineup with a 2 ft SSE swell and a light offshore breath from the NW. The energy is still pretty weak, sittin’ around 54, but for a spot that’s been a ghost town, it’s the first sign of life. Surfable, but very ordinary – you’ll have to work for those little 2 ft wedges.
Then, fast forward to Tuesday the 25th of August, another flicker. The afternoon sees a clean 3 ft S swell with a light cross-offshore breeze. Same story – the energy is still weak at 70, and it’s not gonna win any awards. It’s just better than the nothing we’ve been seein’.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is on Monday the 17th of August. The morning session brings a 4 ft S swell with clean offshore winds from the WNW. Wave energy jumps to 110, which is at least moderate. The waves are surfable but the conditions are very ordinary. It’s the biggest bump in a week of flatness, and the offshore wind will make it look clean, but don’t get too excited – the quality ain’t there.
Bottom line: there are no true winners in this 16-day stretch. The good news? This spot tends to fire back, and forecasts can change. Keep the board waxed and your eyes peeled, because a blank run like this can break any day.
Rusty.

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.
