The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what North Street is offering up over the next couple of weeks. It’s a story of two parts: a long, flat spell and then a big, late-arriving pulse of swell.
The forecast starts on Friday the 11th with real dud conditions. We're talking tiny surf and poor quality. This kicks off a serious dry period. From the 11th right through to the 23rd of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. That's nearly two weeks of flatness and choppy, messy water. The wave energy is practically non-existent, never even getting past 60 (61 max) until the 22nd.
But stick with it, because things finally wake up. The action starts building on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd, with swell hitting 4.9ft from the east, though it's still a bit rough. The real standout is the morning of Thursday the 24th. We’ve got a clean 7.5ft swell from the east-northeast (ENE) and the wind is glassy. Perfect. The water is much warmer than average for this time of year, which is a treat. That’s your session. The wave energy is strong (584) and the surface is as clean as it gets.
The next day, Friday the 25th, is also big but comes with a warning. The morning brings a 9.8ft swell from the east with a 10-second period. The wave energy is very strong (1682), but that’s too big for this beach/jetty break. That’s expert-only territory. The wind is also onshore, making it lumpy. If you’re a hardcore charger, you might find something, but for everyone else, it’s a day to watch from the sand. The afternoon drops to 8.2ft, but it’s still big and bumpy. After that, the swell fades and the winds get ugly again. So, lock in that Thursday morning – it’s the best we’ve got.

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.
