Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this stretch. We’re looking at a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, things are flat. The first recommendation for decent surf doesn’t come until Monday, July 20th, so we’ve got a solid ten-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The early days are all tiny, messy, and cross-onshore – just a whole lot of nothing.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is Monday morning, July 20th, at North Street. It’s the only time the score ticks up at all. We’ll finally see a jump in swell to 5 ft, coming from the south, with a combined energy of 130 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean, smooth conditions. The swell is a bit short-period at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy, but at least it’s rideable. After that, it’s back to the doldrums.
The water temperature is average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
If you’re desperate, that Monday morning session is the only window. The rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the strong cross-shore winds and small, choppy waves. The crowd at North Street can be around sometimes, but that Monday morning, you might have it okay.
Hang in there, it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
