Point Addis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next few weeks for Point Addis. This reef’s a proper advanced wave, exposed and ready to soak up the SW groundswell train that’s lining up. We’ve got a solid run of surf, but it’s a tale of two halves – a beast of a midweek pulse, then some cleaner, more manageable days to follow.

The first real action kicks off Tuesday the 28th with a fresh offshore breeze from the NNW at 19 mph, and a 2.6 ft SW groundswell rolling in at 13 seconds. It’s small, but clean, with a combined energy of 465 (moderate). The afternoon bumps up to 4.6 ft SW with a 15-second period, energy jumping to 837 (moderate), and the wind picks up to 22 mph out of the NW – still offshore, so it’s glassy clean. Solid start.

Now, Wednesday the 29th is where things get serious. The morning sees a 9.8 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, and the energy is a punchy 4703 (strong). The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 22 mph, so it’s clean but the size is already pushing into expert-only territory. Then the afternoon… mate, 14.8 ft SW, 15-second period, and a combined energy of 12442 (very strong). That’s a proper swell. The WSW wind drops to 16 mph, still cross-off, but this wave is for the big boys only. It’s a standout, but only if you’ve got the nerve.

Thursday the 30th settles down a bit. The morning has 5.6 ft SSW at 13 seconds, energy at 1154 (moderate), with a W wind at 12 mph, cross-off and clean. The afternoon holds 8.2 ft SW at 13 seconds, energy at 2640 (moderate), same cross-off wind from the WSW. Still a solid size, but more approachable.

Friday the 31st is a gem. The morning has 3.9 ft SSW at 12 seconds, energy at 411 (moderate), with a light WNW breeze at 6 mph, cross-off and clean. But the afternoon… glassy, mate. S wind at 3 mph, flat calm, 3.3 ft SSW at 12 seconds, energy at 395 (moderate). That’s a beautiful, clean, small wave perfect for a longboard session.

Saturday the 1st of August looks great too. Clear skies, a light N breeze at 6 mph, cross-off and clean on a 2.3 ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell, energy at 514 (moderate). The afternoon picks up to 4.6 ft SW, same 17-second period, energy at 2161 (strong), and a NNW offshore at 6 mph. That’s excellent, clean, and hollow.

Sunday the 2nd gets a bit of a fresh offshore push from the WNW at 19 mph in the morning, 4.6 ft SW at 16 seconds, energy at 952 (moderate). The afternoon is cleaner with a WSW cross-off at 12 mph on a 3.6 ft SW swell. The crowds at Point Addis can be a factor sometimes, but with the variety of swell sizes, you’ll find a window.

The second week is a bit more spread out, but there are still clean windows. Monday the 3rd is a write-off for paddle surfing – the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, so it’s choppy. Tuesday the 4th has a clean morning with a 3.3 ft SW at 12 seconds, energy at 496 (moderate), and a light N cross-off. The afternoon goes small and choppy.

Wednesday the 5th is another standout. The morning has 4.3 ft SW at 18 seconds – very long period – energy at 1890 (strong), and a light N cross-off, clean. The afternoon is glassy, no wind, 3.9 ft SW at 17 seconds, energy at 1588 (strong). That’s a proper, clean, long-period groundswell. Perfect for the reef.

Thursday the 6th morning is clean, 3.0 ft SW at 16 seconds, but the afternoon turns choppy with an onshore. Friday the 7th is a cracker: 3.0 ft SW at 16 seconds in the morning, clean, then the afternoon has 2.6 ft SW at 21 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell, energy at 1192 (strong). Clean and glassy with a light offshore.

Saturday the 8th has a moderate offshore breeze, 3.9 ft SW at 18 seconds, but the energy is moderate. Sunday the 9th is small but clean with a moderate offshore. Monday the 10th sees a return to 5.2 ft to 6.6 ft SW, clean with a cross-off breeze. Tuesday the 11th has a fresh offshore wind, 4.9 ft to
