Point Addis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s your local outlook for the coming days at Point Addis, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the SW. Water temp is sitting around 56°, and that’s pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Alright, let’s get into it. The first few days are small but clean. Thursday the 6th kicks off with a modest 2ft SW groundswell, long 16-second period, and we’ve got a gentle offshore breeze from the NW on Thursday morning – not a lot of push, but it’ll be clean, with moderate wave energy (218). That afternoon holds up with moderate offshore from the WNW and around 2ft SW swell. The real highlight early on hits Friday the 7th: glassy conditions on Friday morning with a clear sky, 4ft SW swell at 16 seconds, and wave energy jumps right up (577). That’s the standout for the first week – clean, glassy, and those long-period lines will be lining up nicely at the reef. Friday afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore.

Saturday the 8th is still rideable with around 3ft SW swell and cross-offshore winds, but Sunday the 9th takes a dip – light rain, building wind, and the swell drops to about 2ft. Not worth paddling out. There’s a quiet patch through Sunday into Monday morning.

Now, heads up for Monday the 10th – the morning shows a big 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period and wave energy through the roof (5797). That’s big and powerful. The wind is cross-offshore from the W, so it’s clean, but this is for experienced surfers only, as it’s well over 8ft. That afternoon drops to a much more manageable 4ft with a solid offshore breeze – clean, punchy waves. But the real behemoth hits Thursday the 13th: a massive 15ft SW swell with a period of 16-18 seconds and wave energy over 12,000. That is too big for Point Addis, even if the wind and tide are favourable. That’s a red flag for anyone but the most elite big-wave crew – and even then, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at those sizes.

The surf settles after that. Friday the 14th to Saturday the 15th hovers around 6ft to 7ft SW swell with clean but cross-offshore winds. Sunday the 16th is not great due to cross-onshore and cross-shore breezes with around 4ft swell. By Monday the 17th, we’re back to a friendly 3ft to 3ft SW groundswell with gentle offshore winds – nice, clean conditions for a relaxed session. That trend continues through to Tuesday the 18th, with clean 2ft to 3ft days.

Wednesday the 19th has some potential: 3ft to 4ft SW swell, clean with cross-offshore winds, and wave energy building a little (522). That’s a fun day. Watch out for Thursday the 20th afternoon, when a 6ft SW swell with a 20-second period rolls in, packing strong energy (4363), but it’s a bit messy with cross-offshore wind. Friday the 21st is not one to chase – fresh SW wind, lumpy cross-shore chop, and poor conditions overall.

To sum it up – Friday the 7th is your clear standout: glassy, clean, and that 4ft SW groundswell with a long period will give you some beautifully shaped reef waves. The other bright spot is Monday afternoon the 10th, with clean offshore wind and a solid 4ft groundswell. Keep an eye on the long-range, too – Wednesday the 19th could be a nice, clean session. But anything much bigger than 7ft needs a bit of experience and respect at this reef.

Stay salty,
Rusty
