Seven Mile Beach and Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty here, and I'm looking at the charts for Seven Mile Beach and Point. It’s a point break, and honestly, for the next two weeks, it’s a mixed bag with some real promise if you're patient.

Right off the bat, the water’s sitting at a mild 54°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a bit of a letdown. Monday the 14th has a tiny 0.7ft south swell with weak energy (20), and while the wind is offshore, it’s just not enough to get excited about. Tuesday the 15th is similar, with a 1ft south-southwest swell and a bit more energy (109), but it’s rainy and the surf is pretty ordinary.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 16th is the one to circle. The afternoon shows a solid 12ft south-southwest swell with a period of 15 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, packing a massive punch with an energy reading of 6381! The wind is offshore from the west-southwest, which will keep things clean. But I have to be straight with you – this is a lot of water. Over 8ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will have real power and shape, but it might be too big for the point to handle perfectly. It's a standout for the big-wave crew, but not a day for the average punter.

Thursday the 17th drops right back down. The morning has a 2ft south swell (196 energy) with a light offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The afternoon picks up a little with a 3ft south swell at a 16-second period (301 energy), and still offshore winds. It’s clean, and it’ll give you a few fun ones.

The rest of the first week and into the second is pretty quiet. From Friday the 18th through to Tuesday the 23rd, we’re looking at tiny swells, mostly under 3ft. There’s a brief window on Monday the 21st afternoon with a 3ft south swell (372 energy) and light offshore wind. It’s about the best of a pretty flat run, but “best” is a relative term here.

We get a bit of a spike again on Saturday the 26th with a 5ft south-southwest swell (2637 energy), but the wind is cross-shore. The beach might be a mess, but a point break can handle that better. Still, the conditions are marginal.

Honestly, for a solid, clean session that most of us can enjoy, the pick is Wednesday the 16th afternoon for the big swell if you’re an expert, or that Monday the 21st afternoon for something more manageable. The rest of the time, you’ll be scratching around for ankle-biters. It’s not the best run for Seven Mile, but that Wednesday is a true standout for those who can handle it.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.
