Right Point (Cat Bay) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into what’s cookin’ at Right Point (Cat Bay). This is a classic point break, built for the intermediate surfer, and it’s exposed enough to grab a good south-west swell. It’s a fickle spot though – doesn’t come alive often, so when it lines up, you better be there. Water temp’s about 57°F, right on the money for this time of year.

Right now, it’s sloppy. Thursday and Friday are loaded with a solid long-period SW groundswell, 15-17 second lines, tons of energy in the water – readings from 1246 up to 3334 – but the wind is all wrong: cross-shore, fresh, tearing it apart. Choppy, bumpy, no fun. These are days you skip.

But Friday afternoon, we get a little window. The swell backs off to about 6-6 ft, still long and clean from the SW, but the wind goes light and turns cross-off. That’s your first real chance – a little window of clear lines. Jump on it.

Saturday the 12th is where it’s at. The morning’s a little cross-on, but the afternoon – that’s the gem. Offshore from the SE, light breeze, clean face, 5-6 ft of SW groundswell. The energy’s solid but manageable. That is the standout session of the first week.

Then the dirt kicks in Sunday to Monday – strong wind, lumpy, horrible. Tuesday the 15th throws up a nasty big 8-10 ft lump with fresh cross-shore, though the afternoon cleans up to cross-off. Still heavy and ugly.

Then Wednesday morning the 16th – glass. Dead calm, 6 ft SW with 14 second period. Perfect. The afternoon is just as clean, cross-off, same size. That’s your absolute best bet – small, smooth, and user-friendly on a point. Don’t miss it.

From Thursday the 17th through the weekend, it’s blown out. Strong onshore winds, messy, poor. There’s a real lull from Saturday the 19th to Sunday the 21st morning. But by Monday arvo the 21st, it flips: offshore wind, 8-10 ft SW groundswell, clean. Big, but clean.

The long-range standouts hit Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd – massive 10-12 ft SW with periods above 15 seconds, combined energy hitting up into the thousands – this is heavy, expert-only. Strong cross-off winds keep the faces clean but it’s serious water.

The final real clean window is Friday the 25th afternoon – light offshore breeze, 7 ft SW with a long 17-second swing. That’ll be pure, lined-up, and smooth.

So – if you’re picking one, it’s Wednesday the 16th. Glassy, clean, just the right size for the point. Otherwise, Saturday the 12th and Friday arvo the 25th are your friends. Or if you’re a madman, the big stuff mid-week is your game.

Rusty.
