The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Point o Rocks.
First up, the water is sitting at 89° with a temperature anomaly of 2°, so it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice bonus if you’re getting in.
Now, the bad news: we’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a bust. From Monday the 13th right through to Tuesday the 28th, every single window shows “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. There’s really nothing to get excited about – no standouts, no hidden gems.
We start off Monday afternoon with a risk of thunderstorms and a 12 mph onshore wind, and the swell energy is zero (0). Tuesday morning brings a tiny 2 ft SSE swell with a short period of 4 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – not worth paddling out for. Wednesday morning, we get a glassy calm with 1.0 ft from the NW and a period of 5 seconds, but the energy is just 6 (weak), and it’s still poor. The rest of the week follows the same pattern: tiny chop, onshore winds, and weak energy readings that never break into double digits. The highest combined energy we see is 22 on Sunday the 19th afternoon, but that’s still weak (22) and paired with a 12 mph onshore wind and a 2 ft wave.
Even the longer-range forecasts don’t offer any hope. From the 24th to the 28th, the swell drops to zero or near-zero, with flat spells and occasional cross-onshore chop. There’s no surf on offer at all.
Honestly, for Point o Rocks, this is a blank run. It’s one of those periods where the forecast is what it is – nothing doing. It tends not to stay this way for long, but right now, the ocean is flat and the wind is wrong. Keep the board in the car and check back.
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.
