Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rocky Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at Rocky Point, and for the vast majority of the next two and a half weeks, it’s a no-go. The first solid chance of anything resembling a surf doesn’t show up until the morning of July 22nd. That’s a long, painful gap of over a week with nothing but flat, choppy, or blown-out junk.
The first few days are just a write-off. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are plagued by messy cross-shore and cross-onshore winds with tiny, short-period swell. The wait begins.
We get a bit of a tease on the 21st of July as the swell builds, but it’s still cross-onshore and the energy is only moderate (187). The waves are there, but the wind is a killer. Then, finally, on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July, we get a little window. The wind drops to glassy, absolutely dead calm, and we’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the east. The energy is moderate (165), and the waves are surfable but very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s not a classic. The swell direction is ENE, not the optimum NNE, so the lines won’t be perfect, but it’ll be clean. That’s the only thing that gets a mention.
The tail end of the window on the 24th of July morning sees a drop to 2ft with clean conditions, but it’s weak energy (99) and marginal.
So, to wrap it up: if you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning of July 22nd is your only real shot. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
