The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the gen on the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a bit of a bummer for the most part. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch with hardly any surf to get excited about. The first real option pops up way down the line, so we've got a massive gap of nothingness to get through first.

Let's start with the only spot on the cards: Stone Harbour Point. It's a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the south-east, which is the direction we want. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Now, for the bulk of the forecast period, it's a write-off. From Thursday, 6 August, right through until Monday, 18 August, the surf is just terrible. We're talking tiny, weak waves with combined swell energy barely cracking 60 (49) and winds that are mostly cross or onshore, creating chop. There's a glimmer of clean conditions on Saturday afternoon, 8 August, with a light cross-off breeze and a combined energy of 58, but the swell is a pathetic 3 ft from the south with a short period of 6 seconds. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is being kind. The rest of that period is just poor surf conditions, glassy mornings but with no swell to speak of – swells only 0.7 ft to 1 ft.

The highlight, and I mean the only real standout, arrives on Tuesday, 18 August. The afternoon looks best with a moderate north-west offshore wind, clean conditions, and a 4 ft south swell. The combined swell energy jumps to a moderate 120, and the period is still short at 6 seconds, so it's not going to be world-class, but after such a long flat spell, it'll be a welcome change. Wednesday morning, 19 August, also offers clean offshore conditions with a 3 ft south swell and combined energy of 99, but it's still "very ordinary" in quality. This swell is small enough for beginners to handle, but don't expect any barrels.

Honestly, for the first week and a half, you're better off taking a break or doing something else. The waves are just too small and weak. That little pulse around 18-19 August is the only thing worth paddling out for, and even then, keep your expectations low. The long gap of flatness is pretty normal for this area, so don't be too disheartened.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Stone Harbour Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Stone Harbour Point 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.

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 Stone Harbour Point 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.
