The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the long-range picture for North Street. It’s a rough one, my friend.
We’re looking at a flat 16-day stretch. The water is a warm 77°, which is a solid 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a proper anomaly, like the water is stuck in a heatwave.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are a bust. The best we see is a 1ft swell from the SE at 8 seconds, with combined energy reading between 14 and 24 – that’s nothing. Sunday the 6th through the 9th is a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds, with the swell maxing out at 4ft, but it’s short-period and lumpy from the S, with energy at 76. That’s just a messy, choppy surf.
We get a clean-up on the 10th and 11th with offshore winds from the WNW, but the swell is tiny – 3ft dropping to 2ft. It’s clean, but you’d be floating. From the 12th onward, it’s onshore and cross-offshore winds, with the swell never reaching 4ft. The highest combined energy we see is 70 on the 17th, but that’s with a cross-onshore wind and a short-period ENE swell. It’s just not good.
The final days, from the 18th to the 19th, bring a long-period groundswell of 12 seconds from the ESE, but the height is only 0.5ft. The combined energy is a miserable 19 to 28. That’s a ghost of a wave.
There is no standout. There is no best session. This is a full 16-day blank. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer. For a beach and jetty setup like North Street, with such poor swell and rough winds, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
