The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on offer for North Street.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty quiet for any kind of decent surf. For the first week, we’re really just looking at tiny, weak waves with a lot of wind messing things up. The swell energy is mostly in the teens or low double digits, which is just not enough to get excited about. The first sign of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until around the 25th of September, so there’s a solid gap of well over a week with pretty much nothing doing.
The one true standout in this whole window is shaping up for Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th of September. On Friday afternoon, we get a nudge up to 5ft of swell out of the East, with a period around 7 seconds. The real story here is the wind – it goes glassy calm. That’s a major positive and will mean clean, smooth conditions. The combined energy climbs to 279 – that’s moderate. Saturday morning (the 26th) is the pick of the bunch. The swell holds at 5ft from the ESE, again with a glassy morning and 8-second period. The wave energy jumps to 305, which is solid. It’s not huge, but for a spot that’s been dead, this is the moment. For intermediate surfers, this is your window to get out there and score. Just be aware that crowds are possible here sometimes, so get out early.
Looking further out to Sunday the 27th of September, the morning shows a 5ft swell from the East with a much longer period of 11 seconds. The energy is way up at 741, which is strong wave energy. We’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze, so conditions would be clean. This long-period groundswell is better for a beach/jetty setup like North Street, with more energy and better shape, but be ready for longer waits between sets. This one looks promising, but being way out there, treat it as a hopeful one to watch.
So, the bottom line: don’t even bother checking until the 25th. That Friday afternoon through to Sunday morning is where the action is at, with Saturday morning being the absolute pick for a clean, fun session.

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.
