The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Point o Rocks are a flat spell, no two ways about it. There’s nothing on the cards that’s gonna get a surfer out of bed. We kick off with a long stretch of nada, from Monday the 31st of August right through to Friday the 4th of September, just a whole lot of nothing with zero energy. The water’s sitting at a warm 88°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going on.
We finally see a tiny flicker of life on the afternoon of Friday the 4th of September, but it’s barely a ripple – a 1ft swell from the SSE with a pitiful 4-second period, and combined energy of just 3. The wind’s a messy cross-onshore, so it’s poor surf. Not worth a paddle. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th offer the same tiny, short-period dribbles, but the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, and onshore – keeping conditions junk. The energy never gets above 3.
After that, it’s back to a dead zone from Monday the 7th of September all the way through to Friday the 11th of September. Just zeros and onshore winds. Then on Saturday the 12th of September, we get a bump to a 2ft swell from the S with a 4-second period and combined energy of 9 – the highest we see in the whole run – but it’s onshore wind and the comment is “poor surf conditions.” Late in the run, from Sunday the 13th to Tuesday the 15th of September, we get some clean-looking mornings with light offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny – 0.7ft to 1ft – with short periods of 3 to 4 seconds and energy of 1 or 2. Clean, yes, but not enough to ride.
Honestly, this is a total write-off for surf. The setup here is a point break, but without any meaningful swell, it’s just a pretty view. The blank run is pretty normal for the area when it’s this quiet. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Point o Rocks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
