The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the full picture for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a slow start, but there are a couple of days that are going to be proper good.
The first few days are just a waste of time. We’ve got small, weak waves and no clean lines. The swell energy is low, in the 300s and even down to 87 at times. Winds are cross-off but there’s just nothing to push around. You can stay at home until things get sorted.
Thursday the 20th has a little more push with waves around 2ft, but it’s still ordinary. Not worth the drive. Friday the 21st starts to get a little more interesting. We’re looking at 2ft waves, but the energy picks up to the 400s and 500s. The wind turns gentle offshore, which will clean things up. It’s small, but there’s a good feel to it.
Now, for the big one: Saturday the 22nd. This is the day. The swell cranks up to over 11ft overnight. The energy reading is a massive 8020, so there’s a ton of power. This is a serious, expert-only swell. The wind is a strong cross-off, and conditions will be raw. The morning looks the best, with the swell easing to about 7ft in the afternoon but still strong. This is a day for the experienced crew only.
Sunday the 23rd is your best bet for quality. The swell drops to around 5ft, which is still a decent size, but the energy is still solid. The wind dies off completely, and we get glassy conditions. This is going to be clean, lined-up, and perfect. A proper standout day for sure.
The next few days after that see things settle down. Monday the 24th is a fun, clean 3-4ft day with light offshore winds. Good for a session. Tuesday the 25th is similar, a bit smaller, with waves in the 3ft range. It’s cruisy and clean, but not one for the memory banks.
Looking ahead to Friday the 28th, there’s another pulse of energy coming through. We’re looking at 4ft+ waves with a strong offshore wind. It could be good, but it’s over a week away, so I wouldn’t lock it in just yet. The forecast might change.
After that, it’s all downhill. The winds go onshore and the surf gets lumpy and messy. The start of September looks small and average, nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: Saturday the 22nd is for the big dogs, and Sunday the 23rd is your day for clean, quality waves. Don’t miss that window because the rest of the week is pretty quiet.
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.
