Point Dume Little Dume Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what's headed for Point Dume Little Dume over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's shaping up to be a quiet stretch. We're looking at a long run of small, weak surf. The swell energy is modest, bouncing between 155 and 403 (moderate wave energy) for most of the run, but the height's just not there to make this point fire. The water's sitting at a very unusual 23°F, a massive 5°F warmer than average for this time of year – feels more like a summer session than an autumn one.

The first few days, from Monday 14th through the middle of the week, are offering tiny 1ft to 2ft SW swells. The period is long, around 16 to 19 seconds, which is proper groundswell, but the size is way too small to wrap into the cove properly. Winds are mostly light, but often onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little bump there is.

From Wednesday 16th into the following week, things get just a little bit better. The swell builds to a consistent 2ft to 3ft from the SW, and the period stays in that 15 to 18 second range. This is better-shaped energy, but for a point break that needs a bit more push, these are still marginal calls. The wind stays pretty light for the morning sessions, mostly cross-onshore, giving you a bit of texture. The main issue is the size; it's just not enough to get the point reeling properly.

If I'm picking a slim standout, it's the mornings from Thursday 17th through Sunday 20th. We're looking at 2ft to 2ft SSW to SW swell with a 16 to 18 second period. The key is light winds, around 6 mph. It's not going to be firing, but with a longboard or a fish, you might find a few clean, slow peelers if you're patient. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and it's living up to that reputation now.

After that, from the 23rd onward, the swell height drops back a touch and the period shortens, making the quality even more questionable. The 28th and 29th look particularly weak and unappealing.

So, the honest call: there isn't a true standout day here. The best bet is to keep an eye on those light-wind mornings around the 17th to the 20th for a chance at a fun, small-wave session. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.

Rusty.
