Seven Mile Beach and Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right off the bat, the surf is pretty gutless. You'll be waiting a couple of days for anything worth paddling out for. The water's around 53°F, which is about normal for this time of year.

Your first real chance is on Wednesday the 9th at Seven Mile Beach and Point. The swell jumps to about 4 feet from the south with a long 19-second period. There's some serious energy in that water, with a combined energy reading of 1059. The wind is offshore from the WSW, so it should be clean. The afternoon sees it bump up to 5 feet with a cross-offshore breeze, but it's not as polished.

Thursday the 10th is another solid option. The swell holds at 4 feet with a 16-second period and light cross-offshore winds keep it tidy. The energy drops to a moderate 759, but it's still worth a session. The afternoon settles to around 3 feet and stays clean with a gentle offshore.

Friday the 11th continues the run. Swell is around 3 to 4 feet from the south, with a 17 to 18-second period. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it's clean and consistent, though not a standout.

Saturday the 12th starts with small 3-foot surf and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore. Then the swell just dies. From Sunday the 13th through to Tuesday the 15th, it's flat to tiny. The energy readings are pathetic (87 down to 20), so it's not worth getting wet.

Wednesday the 16th sees a small pulse return with about 3 feet of swell and a 17-second period. Energy is back up to a moderate 493 and the winds are favorable. It’s a pick-up, but nothing special.

The rest of that week and into the weekend of the 19th and 20th is pretty poor. Small, weak, and mostly clean but with no push. The 18th gets blasted by a strong 45 km/h offshore wind, but the swell is only around 2 feet, so it's all wind and no wave.

Looking further ahead, there's a real glimmer of hope. Monday the 21st sees a fresh pulse of long-period south swell (20 seconds) with strong offshore winds. It's a bit wild, but the energy is building. The true standout is Tuesday the 22nd. Swell at 4 feet from the south, 18-second period, and a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy is a solid 810. It’s clean, it’s got punch, and with that long-period groundswell, the point should be firing. That’s the one to circle. The following Wednesday the 23rd also looks rideable and clean with around 3-foot surf, but Tuesday is the pick of the week.
