Scarborough Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Scarborough Point. We’ve got a run of surf on the horizon, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s break it down day by day.

The pattern starts with a big, powerful swell arriving, but it gets hammered by strong winds early on. The real gems are tucked away in the middle of the week and then again a full week later, where the conditions align for something special.

So, we’ve got a gap at the start if you’re looking for clean waves. The first real standout is shaping up for Wednesday the 12th. The morning sees a 6ft swell from the SW with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is strong (2478), and the report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That afternoon gets even better: the swell bumps up to 7ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the SE. The energy is still strong (2634). This is a proper point break setup, and with that long-period groundswell, it’s going to be peeling perfectly. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This is the pick of the first week.

Thursday the 13th holds size with an 8ft SW swell and a 17-second period, but the wind swings cross-off from the NNE and NE. It’ll be powerful and clean, but that 8ft mark puts it in expert territory, and the energy is very strong (3954). It’s still a great option for the crew who can handle it.

The surf drops a bit into the weekend, with smaller, cleaner waves but the wind isn’t ideal. Sunday the 16th afternoon sees a 7ft swell from the WSW, but with a light cross-onshore wind, it’s less appealing.

Now, hold onto your board. The absolute standout of the whole 16-day window is Monday the 17th. The morning delivers an 12ft swell from the WSW with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy from the S. The energy is off the charts at 5464, and the report calls it exceptional for expert surfers. This is a big, powerful, clean groundswell. For the average surfer, this is too big, but for the experienced crew, this is a session to remember. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-onshore wind.

Tuesday the 18th is a nice follow-up, with a clean 7ft SW swell and light cross-off winds from the SSE. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers, with moderate energy (1469).

After that, things get messy again. The wind picks up and the swell quality drops off. There’s a promising blip on Friday the 21st morning with a clean 6ft SW swell and offshore wind from the E, but the energy is only moderate (821). It’s a decent option, but not a standout. The final weekend, Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, brings back some serious size (10ft and 8ft) but with strong winds, making it more of a spectacle than a surf session.

So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 12th is the gem for the intermediate crew, and Monday the 17th is the big-wave target for the experts. Everything else is about picking the right tide and wind window.

Rusty out.
