Point Addis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming weeks.

The forecast is pretty interesting for Point Addis. It’s a reef break that’s exposed to the SW, and it’s a consistent spot that handles a good swell. The water temperature is sitting at 57°F with a minimal anomaly, so it’s about what you’d expect for this time of year.

We’ve got a solid pulse of energy coming through. The early part of the period is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real standout windows. Saturday morning starts with a clean 5ft SW swell, and the wind is fresh offshore from the NW. The combined energy is strong (1118), and it’s clean. It’s a good start, but it’s just the beginning.

Now, Sunday morning is a bit of a letdown with a smaller 3ft SW swell and cross-shore wind, but Sunday afternoon brings a punchy 8ft SW swell. The combined energy jumps to 3046, and it’s still light cross-shore, but that’s getting up there in size. For advanced surfers, that’s a fun one, but it’s too big for beginners.

The real standout, though, is Tuesday morning the 8th of September. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the W, and we’ve got a super long-period 3ft SW swell with a period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is 1070. That long period groundswell will be lining up beautifully on the reef, offering clean, well-shaped waves. The sets will be a little further apart, but the quality is top-notch. It’s for experienced surfers, but it’s a gem.

Then, pushing into the second week, Saturday the 12th of September is a cracker. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell with offshore NW wind, clean and strong (1417). The afternoon goes glassy with a 5ft SW swell, and it’s all about the clean face. That afternoon session is going to be beautiful.

Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are smaller but still clean, with offshores and cross-offshores holding the shape, but the energy drops off. From Monday afternoon, things get messy with cross-on winds and choppy conditions for a few days.

The next big moment comes on Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning has a 8ft SW swell with a period of 10 seconds, but it’s clean with offshore NW wind. The combined energy is 1152. That’s punchy and a bit short-period, but it’s for experts. The afternoon goes ugly with a 10ft and cross-on wind, so that’s a no-go.

Then we have a bit of a gap in quality until Sunday the 20th of September. That morning is a 4ft SW swell with cross-offshore N wind, clean, and the energy is 917. The afternoon is the real highlight of the second week: a 4ft SW swell with a very long period of 19 seconds, and offshore NW wind. The combined energy is 1258. That’s a long-period groundswell that will be glassy and clean on the reef. It’s for experienced surfers, but it’s a very promising session.

Overall, the best offers are Tuesday morning the 8th of September and Saturday afternoon the 12th of September. The second week’s standout is Sunday afternoon the 20th of September, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
