Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
First up, we've got Point o Rocks. It's a point break and it's inconsistent, which is a bit of a bummer because this spot usually needs things to line up just right. For the next two and a half weeks, the whole thing is a write-off. We're looking at a solid 16-day gap where there's nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
From now right through to the morning of the 18th of July, the wave heights are tiny, barely breaking 1ft. The swell energy is pathetic, barely registering double digits (2 to 12) for the first week. Combine that with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds from the west and southwest, and you've got a recipe for choppy, bumpy, un-surfable junk. There's no quality on offer at all.
There's a slight uptick from the morning of the 18th of July onwards. We finally see the swell nudging up to 3ft, coming from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the 40s and 50s—still moderate, but at least there's a tiny bit of push. But honestly, with the onshore wind persisting, it's going to be messy anyway.
The only window that even catches my eye is the morning of the 20th of July. We've got a 2ft NW swell with a 6-second period and light, variable winds from the WSW. The energy hits 59 then, the highest of the whole run. Even so, with the wind being onshore, it's still a bet on a junky, weak wave.
Bottom line: There is absolutely nothing worth chasing at Point o Rocks for over two weeks. It's a total flat spell. Leave the board at home. If you're desperate, a kite might get some use, but for a paddle surfer, this is a total non-event.
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.
