Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Street over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down.
To be straight with you, the next couple weeks are pretty bleak around here. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or crappy conditions before anything worth getting wet for shows up. The first decent call isn’t until Monday the 21st of August.
Your best bet is North Street on Friday the 21st of August, in the afternoon. You’re looking at 2 ft of clean swell out of the SE, with a clean offshore wind out of the NW. Swell energy is moderate (63). The water temp is about normal for this time of year. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and rideable after so many days of nothing. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, but on a small day like this, it should be mellow.
Then, Monday the 24th of August morning session looks like the standout. Swell jumps to 3 ft from the ENE, with moderate energy (118). Winds are clean out of the WSW, so expect some clean faces. That ENE direction works alright on this beach/jetty setup. This is your best shot at a proper session in the whole 16-day window.
Everything else is just tiny, choppy, or blown out. Lots of days with swell under 2 ft and weak energy. Some mornings look glassy, but with no swell to push through, it’s just a pretty view.
So, hang tight for the 21st for a clean small-wave day, and circle Monday the 24th for the best chance of some real waves. It’s been a slow spell, but it might be breaking open soon.

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.
