Point Addis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks, but there’s definitely some windows of clean surf for those willing to be patient. The first few days are pretty ordinary, but things come together nicely for a standout run from the 18th through the 22nd, and again a promising pulse right at the end of the month.

Right now and through the start of the week, Point Addis is looking flat and messy. Monday 14th has tiny 2ft SW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is weak (166). The surf is poor. Monday afternoon isn’t much better – surfable but very ordinary.

Tuesday 15th sees a big jump in swell height to 8ft from the SW, with moderate energy (3957), but the wind is howling 30-35 km/h out of the WSW to SW, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle day. Wednesday 16th stays big at 8ft with a long 15-second period from the SSW, but cross-onshore winds ruin the shape. Poor surf.

Thursday 17th drops back to 5ft, but wind is still cross or cross-on, giving only marginal conditions. Friday 18th is where it starts to turn. The swell settles to a clean 4ft from the SSW, and the wind goes offshore from the NW at 20 km/h. Moderate offshore and clean. The energy is solid (1181). This is excellent for experienced surfers. Friday afternoon is even better with a 5ft SW swell, a 16-second period, and clean offshore wind. The combined energy is 1539. This is a standout.

Saturday 19th morning keeps the good run going – 4ft SW, offshore NW wind, clean and moderate energy (578). Expect very good surf. The afternoon turns cross-off and lighter, still clean but smaller. Sunday 20th is a bit less certain with offshore wind but lighter energy (736) and marginal tide concerns.

Monday 21st brings another highlight: 6ft SSW swell with a 12-second period and light cross-off wind from the WNW. The energy is 1159 and conditions are clean – excellent for experienced surfers. Tuesday 22nd is equally solid with 6ft SSW, 15-second period, and clean offshore wind. This run from the 18th through Tuesday the 22nd is your best bet for quality waves at Point Addis.

The swell backs off from Wednesday 23rd onward, with smaller, cleaner but less exciting waves. Thursday 24th has a very long 19-second period from the SW but only 2ft, making it weak (226). It’s clean but small.

Then, looking further out to Saturday 26th afternoon and Sunday 27th, the swell builds again – 3ft to 6ft from the SW with long periods (18-22 seconds) but cross-onshore winds bring chop and poor conditions. A final window appears on Tuesday 29th morning with 5ft SW swell, 18-second period, and light cross-shore wind from the NE. Energy is strong (2267) and conditions are marginal, but it’s the best of the last week for anyone who can handle a bit of cross-breeze.

All up, the standout period is definitely Friday 18th through Tuesday 22nd – clean, offshore winds, solid groundswell, and moderate to strong energy. Point Addis is a reef break, so that long-period SW groundswell will handle it beautifully. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early during that window. Water temps are sitting around 57°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Rusty.
