The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for North Street over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The outlook for North Street is pretty bleak for the vast majority of the 16-day window. We're looking at a stretch of small, weak, and often choppy conditions that just aren't going to put a smile on your face. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 76°F for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's average.
The first real glimmer of anything rideable doesn't show up until Friday, July 31st. The morning session is the only one worth talking about. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SSE, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions. The combined energy is a weak 69 (69), so it's not going to be powerful, but at least the surface will be clean. It's surfable, but just barely. That's the only window in the entire first week and a half where you wouldn't be fighting a losing battle.
After that, we go right back into a long, dry spell. The swell is minimal, the wind is all over the place, and it's just not happening. It's a proper blank run.
Then, finally, we get a little pulse of energy around Monday, August 3rd. The morning has a 4ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 205 (205). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it's a bit bumpy but cleaner than what we've seen. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSE, and the energy really kicks in at 412 (412). The wind goes light onshore, which isn't ideal, but the size is the best we've seen. This is the standout of the entire forecast, but it's still only a marginal call. For a spot like North Street, a 5ft SSE swell with a bit of period could offer some fun waves if the tide plays ball.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, this is a waiting game. The best bet is that Friday morning glass-off on the 31st for a tiny, clean session, or taking a chance on that Monday the 3rd when the size finally shows up. For everything else, you're better off leaving the board in the car. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a tough stretch.
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.
