Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Rocky Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a real dry spell for waves. The first recommendation for a surf doesn’t really show until the second week of the forecast. That’s a long gap, so don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable for the first week.
For the first several days, it’s all small, weak, and messy. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th have tiny swells around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, with poor conditions and not enough energy to get excited about. The winds are mostly a cross-offshore, but the swell is just too small to push anything decent. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, with figures like 54 and 15 – that’s weak, barely a bump.
We get a pulse on Thursday the 9th – the swell jumps to 6 ft from the east, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The energy picks up (230), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore making it lumpy and choppy. That’s more of a washing machine than a wave. Not what we want for a clean session.
Friday the 10th sees the swell drop a bit, still a cross-onshore breeze, and the quality is still poor. The weekend doesn't offer much improvement either. It’s a long, flat run. Sunday the 12th afternoon is the first time we see anything close to “surfable,” with a 1 ft glassy wave, but it’s still ordinary. The combined energy is still below 100, so it’s not doing much.
That’s the reality of it – we’ve got a blank run that stretches almost to the second week. I’d say keep your board in the car, but don’t rush to the water.

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.
