The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, we’ve got some proper swell heading to Point Addis, but you gotta wait out Sunday. It starts poor – small 2ft waves with a cross-off breeze, light rain, and weak energy at 241. Water temp’s 56°, pretty much normal for the season, so nothing weird there.
Monday morning is where it kicks off. Swell jumps to 4ft from the SW with a long 19-second period, and the energy is pumping hard at 1026. Winds are offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean. This is the good stuff for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes cross-shore and messy, so get your fill early.
Tuesday keeps it going. Morning has 3ft waves with a 15-second period, and the afternoon bumps to 4ft with a 14-second period. Offshore winds from the NW and NNW keep it clean. Energy’s moderate, from 446 to 616. Solid consistency.
Now, Wednesday morning is big. We’re talking 10ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The energy is massive – a huge 6167. But the wind is cross-off from the W, and the forecast calls it marginal. That’s a heavy, powerful day. This is purely for the experts. The afternoon eases to 6ft, but the energy is still strong at 1635.
Thursday is another standout. Morning has 7ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and a gentle offshore from the NW. Energy’s at 2272. The afternoon is similar, 7ft from the SW, with a light cross-off from WNW, and energy at 2192. Clean and strong – a proper day out.
Friday’s still pumping with 7ft in the morning from the SSW, 16-second period, and a cross-off from the W. Energy at 2136. Again, morning’s the call before the wind turns cross-shore in the afternoon.
The weekend mellows out. Saturday has 5ft and 5ft, but the wind goes onshore and cross-onshore. Quality drops. Sunday’s similar, with 4ft and 4ft, light winds but onshore. Not worth the drive.
But then Monday morning, the 17th of August, is a sleeper. Swell’s only 4ft from the SW with a 16-second period, but the wind is dead glassy – zero. Energy is 565, and the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” That’s a clean, glassy morning with some groundswell. Perfect for a log.
After that, it fades. The swell drops, and while there are some clean moments, the energy is weak. There’s a 3ft morning on the 19th with a cross-off wind, but it’s nothing special.
So, the pick of the week: Monday morning the 10th, Thursday the 13th, and Friday the 14th of August. Those are your winners – solid SW groundswell, good period, clean offshore winds. The 10ft on Wednesday the 12th is for the brave only. And that glassy Monday the 17th is a good one for a cruisy session.
Long-period swell like this can be a bit straight at Point Addis, but it’s a reef, so it should be alright. Have fun out there.
Rusty.

Information about the Point Addis Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Point Addis provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point Addis can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Point Addis 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 (Point Addis) 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 Point Addis 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.
Point Addis is 29 km (18 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
