Point Addis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve got a solid run of surf shaping up for us over the next couple of weeks. The main player is Point Addis, a reef break that’s exposed to the SW and handles a good south-west groundswell. The water temp is sitting at 56.7°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. We’ve got a fair bit of action coming, but there’s a quiet start to the period, so let’s get into it.

The first real surf recommendation kicks off Sunday the 30th of August. The morning is looking clean with a 4.6 ft SSW swell at 13 seconds and a light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 795, and conditions are glassy enough for a decent session. It’s not the biggest, but it’s a nice warm-up. The afternoon turns a bit choppy as the wind swings onshore, so I’d definitely get in early.

Monday the 31st of August is a beauty. The morning is glassy with a 4.6 ft SW swell at 14 seconds, and the energy is ticking up to 995. Come afternoon, it’s even better—glassy conditions again, 4.6 ft SW swell, and the period stretches to 15 seconds with combined energy jumping to 1161. The water will be clean, and the reef will be working nicely. This is a standout for the first week.

Tuesday the 1st of September sees a bit of a drop. The morning has 3.9 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but a stiff 30 km/h cross-offshore wind makes it tricky. The energy is still moderate at 702, but it’s not the best for paddling. The afternoon is cleaner with offshore winds, but the swell is down to 3.3 ft. It’s a passable session for the keen.

Wednesday the 2nd of September is where things start to ramp up again. The morning is clean with 3.9 ft SW swell at 16 seconds and energy at 739. Then the afternoon fires up: 5.6 ft SW swell at 15 seconds, combined energy of 1351, and moderate offshore winds. This is excellent for experienced surfers—the reef will be handling that long-period groundswell beautifully.

Thursday the 3rd of September brings a mixed bag. The morning is clean with 5.2 ft SW swell at 14 seconds, but the wind is pumping at 25 km/h. The afternoon though—whoa—13.1 ft SW swell at 13 seconds with combined energy of 6992. That’s strong wave energy, but it’s big and raw. This is expert-only territory, and the wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be challenging but gnarly.

Friday the 4th of September is another high point. The morning has 6.9 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, energy at 2338, and gentle offshore winds. The afternoon is similar with 6.2 ft and 1761 energy. Both sessions are clean, and the reef will be producing long, powerful lines. This is a standout for the first week—big, clean, and for advanced surfers.

The weekend of the 5th and 6th of September settles down a bit. Saturday the 5th has 4.6 ft SW swell with moderate offshore winds in the morning, but light rain is around. The energy is 972. Sunday the 6th is cloudy but clean, with 3.3 ft to 4.3 ft SW swell and energy around 655 to 679. It’s still surfable, just not as punchy.

The second week starts with a lull. Monday the 7th of September drops to 2.0 ft, and Tuesday the 8th picks up again with 4.9 ft SSW swell at 12 seconds and energy of 1058, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy mid-morning. The afternoon is messy with 8.2 ft and even stronger cross-shore wind. This is more for the dedicated.

Wednesday the 9th of September has 6.9 ft SSW swell in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore again. The afternoon is similar. It’s not clean, so the reef won’t be at its best.

Now, the real gem in the second week is Thursday the 10th of September. The morning is glassy with 3.6 ft SW swell at 14 seconds and energy of 509. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and fun. Then Friday the 11th of September is a standout: morning has 3.6 ft SW swell but with a very long period of 20 seconds, combined energy of 1142, and cross-offshore winds. This is a classic groundswell—long lines, good shape, and the reef will handle it perfectly. The afternoon is a bit cross-shore but still with 4.6 ft and 19 seconds.

The rest of the second week fades out. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have clean 3.6 ft to 4.3 ft swells with offshore winds, but the energy is moderate. Monday the 14th of September is small—2.3 ft to 2.6 ft—and glassy. It
