The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Point o Rocks are a total write-off. There's nothing on the table that's worth paddling out for. The whole stretch from Monday the 3rd of August right through to Tuesday the 18th of August is just one long, flat, or messy run. We're talking about a solid 16-day gap with no decent surf. The swell energy is tiny, with the highest reading being a measly 49 (weak energy) on the Monday afternoon of the 3rd, and even that's only 3 ft from the west with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the water's sitting at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only noteworthy thing.
Don't let this get you down. This spot is inconsistent, and it tends to have blank runs like this. It won't stay poor forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

Information about the Point o Rocks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Point o Rocks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point o Rocks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Point o Rocks 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 o Rocks) 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 o Rocks 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.
