The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about what we're looking at for North Street over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. There are no real standouts here; the energy just isn't showing up. The water temp is sitting at 75.6°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice swim if you're keen for a dip.
Looking at the first real bit of action from the 30th of July, we've got a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE, but it's blown out by a moderate cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is weak, only 49. It stays poor through the end of July and into the first week of August. We get a run of tiny swells, all under 3ft, but the winds are a constant problem. From Friday the 1st of August right through to the 8th, it's all cross-onshore winds, mostly from the SSE and S. The swell periods are short, around 4 to 8 seconds, so the waves are just going to be weak and bumpy. The combined energy is always weak, sitting well under 100. For a spot like this that's a beach/jetty setup, this is more of a kite-surfing breeze than a paddling wave.
We do finally get a bit of a break in the wind later on. Around Sunday the 9th of August, the wind goes offshore from the NNW in the morning, keeping it clean, but the swell is still a pathetic 1.5ft. The energy is only 29. It’s clean and glassy, sure, but there’s barely a ripple to ride. The same story continues through to the 14th of August. We get a few more days of clean conditions with offshore or cross-offshore winds, but the swell is just tiny. The biggest we see is 2ft on the 14th from the ENE, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds, so it’ll be completely gutless.
So, the summary is this: if you want clean, still water, there are a few mornings and afternoons in the second week that look nice. But for actual surfable waves? There are none in this forecast period. We've got a long gap of poor conditions that lasts the entire 16 days. It’s one of those runs where you just have to wait for the next forecast to change.

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.
