The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island.

Honestly, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of very ordinary conditions ahead. The first sniff of anything decent doesn't come around until late in the first week.

Wednesday, July 22nd is the only real standout in this whole outlook. The morning is a write-off, but the afternoon clears up. The wind drops right out, going glassy, and we’ll see a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the east. The swell energy is moderate (327), and with a period of 9 seconds, it’ll have a bit of push. That glassy setup is a major positive, so if you can sneak out for a late arvo session, that’s the pick of the entire period.

After that, it’s a long, slow fade. Thursday the 23rd sees the swell drop to 3ft and the wind turns ugly. Friday the 24th is clean but tiny, with a 3ft easterly swell. Saturday the 25th morning has a bit more size at 4ft from the south, with clean offshore winds, but it’s still not great. The swell energy is moderate (472) but the quality is just lacking.

From Sunday the 26th onwards, it’s a real struggle. Swell heights drop below 3ft, and we go through a solid week of tiny, weak conditions. There’s a pulse of very long-period groundswell (14-16 seconds) around the 5th and 6th of August, but it’s tiny—1ft to 2ft—and the wind is messy. The energy readings (124-181) are deceptively moderate for the size, but the period is so long that at a point break like this, it might just wall up and be a bit too straight. It’s just not enough to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: the only real window is that glassy Wednesday afternoon. After that, the board stays in the car. It’s a blank run for a good week and a half, which is a bit of a bummer, but the forecasts can always change around here.

Rusty, signing off.
