Seven Mile Beach and Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a slow start, but there’s a cracker of a session hiding in there if you’re patient.

The whole pattern is a long, drawn-out run of small, inconsistent surf. The first real taste of anything worth paddling out for isn’t until late on Monday the 31st of August. Before that, it’s all knee-to-waist high dribble, so don’t bother rushing.

Seven Mile Beach and Point is the only spot on the radar, and it’s a point break that’s inconsistent, so you need to pick your moments. The water temp is sitting around 52°, which is about 1° cooler than usual for this time of year – feeling a bit nippy.

The stand-out session of the whole forecast is Monday afternoon, 31st August. The swell pumps up to a clean 5ft from the SSW, riding on a very long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy reading hits 1473 (moderate to strong energy), and with the wind going glassy calm, conditions are going to be absolutely pristine. This is the one for experienced surfers – too powerful for beginners, but for those who know what they’re doing, it’s going to be magic. Keep in mind, with a period that long, this point break setup should handle it well, keeping the shape good.

After that, it drops off again. The rest of the first week is mostly small, around 1ft to 3ft, with winds mostly offshore or cross-off, but nothing that gets the heart racing. The consistency isn’t there, and the energy levels stay low.

There's a gap in the action, then we get to Thursday morning, 10th September. That’s another highlight. The swell bumps up to a solid 5ft from the S with a 12-second period, and you’re looking at a combined energy of 851 (moderate to strong). Wind is a gentle offshore cross-off from the NW, keeping it clean. This is a good, solid option for intermediate surfers looking for a bit more push.

Beyond that, the second week drifts back into smaller, cleaner but unremarkable waves. The 3ft from the SSW on Sunday the 13th shows some life, but the wind is more cross-off and the energy is moderate. Nothing that leaps out as a must-paddle.

Overall, don’t get your hopes up for consistent surf. It’s a stop-start forecast, but if you can make it out on Monday afternoon the 31st of August, that is your session. The Thursday the 10th is your backup plan.

Rusty.
