The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's cut through it. For North Street, we're looking at a dry spell from now until the 4th of September. That's over a week with absolutely nothing worth paddling for. Flat and messy.
The water temperature is a warm 77°, which is way above what we'd normally have for this time of year. Unusual, but no use when the waves are missing.
The first real chance comes on Saturday, September 5th. A small ESE swell at 3 ft with an 11-second period. The combined energy is weak at 132. The wind goes offshore from the NW in the morning, so it'll be clean. You'll find some knee-high, rideable lumps, but it's ordinary.
Sunday, September 6th sees the swell peak at about 4 ft from the SSW, but the period is a poor 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 201—showing a bit more power—but that short period means it's going to be weak and dumpy. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, so you could find a closeout or two.
Then Monday, September 7th offers a small, clean window. The swell is 3 ft from the SSE, 8-second period, and the afternoon turns glassy with a 3 mph WNW breeze. The energy is low at 72. It'll be smooth but tiny.
After that, it's back to junk. Nothing for beginners to really worry about size-wise, but there's just no quality on the table. Tough stretch. Keep the board waxed and wait.
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.
