The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Rocky Point.
I’ll level with ya – the next couple of weeks are lookin’ flat and foul. Don’t rush to grab your board.
Starting Saturday the 8th, we got a puny 0.7ft NNE swell, but a strong southeast wind at 25 mph is ruinin’ it. Same deal Sunday the 9th – even smaller, 0.3ft from the NW, wind pickin’ up to 31 mph. The wave energy is weak, single digits to low double digits. Total write-off.
Monday the 10th brings a bump in size – 6ft to 6ft from the ESE – but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is still howlin’ cross-off at 28-31 mph. The energy climbs into moderate range, but the quality is garbage. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddlin’ one.
Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th keep the same story: 7ft to 8ft ESE swell, period stuck at 7-9 seconds, and wind hitin’ gale-force at 40 mph on Tuesday afternoon. The energy gets strong (into the 600s-800s), but the surf is gonna be blown-out and lumpy. Too big for beginners, and only the hardcore should even think about it.
Thursday the 13th is your best bet all week. Morning swell is 5ft from the ENE, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph. The afternoon sees a light 6 mph SW cross-off, energy at 223, and clean conditions. It’s still not great, but it’s the only window with any real potential. Expect poor-to-marginal waves, but at least it’s glassy.
Then from Friday the 14th all the way to Sunday the 23rd of August, it’s a long, flat gap. Swell heights drop to 2ft or less, mostly sittin’ around 0.7ft to 2ft. Periods are short, and the energy is weak (mostly double digits and low triple digits). There’s a glassy moment on Saturday the 22nd afternoon with a 1ft ENE swell and 3 mph wind, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple.
So what’s the pick? There ain’t a real standout. If you’re desperate, Thursday the 13th afternoon is your only real look – 4ft from the ENE, clean, light wind. But it’s marginal at best. The rest of the 16 days is a bust. Water temp is around 80°F, pretty normal for this time of year.
That’s the straight dope. Keep an eye on it – things can change.

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