The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty, and I’m going to level with you – this 16-day window at North Street is a real test of patience. The surf is almost non-existent, and the conditions are fighting us almost every day.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell from Friday, July 24th, right through to Wednesday, July 30th. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no real energy. The wind is onshore or cross-shore, making the water choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, barely hitting triple digits once during that stretch.
The only day that offers a glimmer of hope is Thursday, July 30th. In the morning, the wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a little 2 foot swell from the SSE. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, which is nice. The real moment is Thursday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 3 feet from the SSE, and the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it some shape. The combined energy hits 144, which is moderate, and the wind goes light offshore from the north. It’s clean. The waves will be small, and it’s a beach/jetty break, so with that longer period it might be a little straight, but for a clean, tiny wave, this is your best shot. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you won’t be alone.
After that, it’s back to flat. The first week of August is a quiet one. Monday the 3rd has a glassy morning, but the swell is only 2 feet. Saturday the 8th has a glassy morning and a clean afternoon, but the swell is still just 3 to 3 feet from the south. The combined energy is weak, hitting 81 in the afternoon. It’s surfable but very ordinary. For the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that’s a true standout. The best of a bad bunch is definitely Thursday afternoon, July 30th.
If you’re a beginner, it’s all fine. If you’re an expert, you’ll be twiddling your thumbs. With the wind and small swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle 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.
