The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks at North Street are looking pretty grim, to be honest. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and messy winds, so don’t get your hopes up for anything epic. This is one of those periods where you might be better off doing a few laps in the pool or fixing that leaky roof.
The only real highlight I can see is on Monday, the 17th of August. The swell is still nothing to write home about, but the wind finally swings offshore and cleans things up. It’s not going to be a day for heroics, just some gentle, rideable lines. The water temp is running a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you might be able to ditch the thickest rubber.
For the entire first week, from the 10th through the 16th, it's pretty much a write-off. We're looking at tiny waves, under 3 feet, with a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind messing things up. There are a few moments of clean conditions, but the swell energy is just too weak (values like 7 and 14 in the brackets tell the whole story). You'll be staring at a whole lot of nothing.
Things get marginally better from the 17th onwards, but we're still talking about very average, small surf. The standout morning is the 17th, with light offshore winds and clean conditions. That's your best bet. There's a pulse of longer period swell (15 seconds) that shows up on the 18th, but the wind is up and it’s coming from the wrong direction, making a mess of things. There’s some more energy late in the period, on the 19th and 20th, with combined totals reaching 145 and 179, but the wind is still a problem. It's like the ocean is teasing us.
Looking further out to the 22nd, there’s another brief window of clean conditions with a light offshore wind, but again, it's just small and unremarkable surf. This is a period for the die-hards. If you’ve got to get wet, the 17th morning is your only real chance for something that even resembles a decent surf. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for better days. The long-range stuff about the 19th and 20th has a bit more push, but it’s promising at best, not a sure thing.
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.
