The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Looks like North Street is going through a pretty flat and frustrating stretch for the next couple of weeks. There’s nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for, I gotta be straight with you. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf.
Right from Wednesday the 22nd, we’ve got a small 4ft south swell coming in but it’s getting chopped up by a cross-off wind, and the wave energy is pretty weak (187). The water’s sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight. Thursday the 23rd drops to ankle-slashing 3ft, and by Friday the 24th we’re looking at a miserable 1ft. It just gets worse from there.
We go through a solid gap of days with nothing worth mentioning. Saturday the 25th, Sunday the 26th, Monday the 27th – all tiny and messy. The swell energy numbers are in the double digits, barely scraping 70 at best, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore. There’s a brief moment Tuesday afternoon the 28th where a light cross-off wind cleans up a 2ft south swell, but the wave energy is still low (57) and it’s just not gonna give you a proper wave.
Wednesday the 29th morning has a moderate offshore wind and 2ft from the SSE, but the energy is still weak (66). That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s saying nothing. By the time we roll into August, it’s the same story – tiny swells, poor conditions. Sunday morning the 2nd of August has a brief bump to 3ft from the SSE with light cross-off winds, but the energy is only 88 and the swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be weak and sectiony.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on some of those stronger cross-shore days, but for a surfboard, you’re better off waiting. This blank run is a bit more normal for the area, but forecasts can always change. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
