The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Spot X is a reef break, very consistent, and it takes swell from the WSW. It’s for intermediate surfers, and you might bump into a few others out there.
The water is about 65°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
We’ve got a solid run of surf starting on Saturday the 29th. The morning is a bit marginal with a cross-off breeze, but the real deal is Saturday afternoon: 10ft from the SW with a 17-second period, clean offshore wind from the east, and the energy is pumping at 4856 (moderate). This is excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday morning the 30th is even better – 10ft from the WSW, still a 17-second period, offshore wind from the NE, and the energy is up to 6043 (strong). That’s your top pick right there.
Then it goes to hell. From Monday the 31st through Friday the 5th of September, it’s onshore, lumpy, and choppy. The swell is big, 8ft to 20ft, but the wind is garbage. The energy hits 11728 on Saturday the 5th afternoon, but with 35 km/h onshore wind, it’s a kite session, not a paddle session.
Sunday the 6th morning is a maybe: 15ft from the SW, 14-second period, light cross-on wind, and 9018 energy (strong). It’s marginal but could be fun for the brave. Monday the 7th is similar, 12ft, light wind, but still cross-on.
The next good window is Tuesday the 8th of September morning: 10ft from the SW with a 16-second period, clean cross-off wind from the NNE, energy at 4350 (moderate). Then Wednesday the 9th morning is a gem: 10ft from the WSW, 14-second period, offshore ENE wind at 15 km/h, and energy at 3456 (moderate). Clean, offshore, and good for experienced surfers.
But the standout for the second week is Thursday the 10th of September morning: 10ft from the WSW, 14-second period, offshore NE wind at 20 km/h, and the energy is a strong 6048. This is exceptional for experts. The afternoon gets a bit crossed up but still big.
The last week is messy again with big swell and onshore winds, though Sunday the 13th keeps some energy in the 11436-13433 range, but with cross winds.
So, your best bets are Saturday afternoon the 29th and Sunday morning the 30th for the first week, and Thursday morning the 10th of September for the second week. The long-range stuff looks promising, but it’s a bit less certain.

Information about the Spot x Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spot x provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spot x can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spot x 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 (Spot x) 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 Spot x 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.
Spot x is 75 km (47 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
