The Lowdown
Righto folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Point Addis. It’s a bit of a waiting game right now, but there’s some proper grunt on the horizon.
We’re looking at a solid run of groundswell, but the early part of the week is messy with strong cross-off winds and marginal conditions. The wave energy is hefty – we’re talking proper power (1225 to 2444), which is moderate to strong. The water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout window kicks off on Friday morning, 14 August. That’s when it all comes together. We’ve got a clean 7ft SW swell, period a touch beyond 15 seconds, so it’s long-period groundswell with serious grunt. That 7ft is pushing into solid advanced territory, but with a gentle cross-off breeze from the west, Point Addis will be groomed. The combined energy is sitting at 2148 – that’s strong and powerful. It’s going to be heavy, so this is one for the experienced crew only.
Then, Saturday morning, 15 August, is the absolute gem. The swell has dropped a touch to 6ft from the SW, still with a 15-second period, but the wind is glassy from the SSE. This is the best of the lot. Clean, lined-up waves with very high energy (1306). Crowds can show up here sometimes, but on a day like this, it’s worth the company. This is the session to aim for.
After that, the swell slowly winds down through Sunday and into the start of the next week. Monday sees the energy dip below 600 and the wind turns onshore, so conditions get messy. There’s a proper lull from about Monday 17 August through to Friday 21 August, where swell heights drop below 3ft and the energy is weak – down to 100-277. Not worth paddling out for.
The second week has a bit of a revival. On Monday 24 August and Tuesday 25 August, we see a new pulse of SW and WSW swell. Monday afternoon has a 8ft WSW swell with a shorter 11-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 2268. That’s huge power, but it’s onshore with a cross-on breeze – better for the kite crew than paddle surfing. Tuesday 25 August looks cleaner with a 7ft SW swell and a 15-second period, cross-off from the north, and energy at 1980. Again, that’s expert territory.
Finally, Wednesday 26 August morning has clean 4ft SW swell with offshore NW winds, and good conditions for a more moderate session. The energy is 517, still moderate.
Overall, the best is Saturday morning at Point Addis. Don’t sleep on it.

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.

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.
