Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with a long-range look at what’s on the menu. We’ve got a serious run of swell ahead, but it’s gonna take some patience to find the clean windows.

First things first, the only break we're looking at is Surfers Point. This is a reef setup that’s built for advanced crew, very consistent, and it’s exposed to the swell. The water temp is running about average for this time of year.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are a write-off. We’ve got a solid 12 ft to 13 ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and strong – 25 to 40 km/h. It’s lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 4th the swell is still pumping at 16 ft from the WSW. The wind is onshore in the morning, but by the afternoon it drops to a gentle onshore breeze and the conditions get a bit more manageable. It’s a borderline call, but the size is big. This is experts-only territory.

The weekend (5th and 6th) is a mess. Strong winds – up to 50 km/h – and rain keep the surf poor through Saturday. Sunday morning is still lumpy with a fresh cross-shore, but by Sunday afternoon the 6th, things get interesting. The swell holds at 16 ft, but the period jumps to a very long 17 seconds. The wind goes light and the tide turns favorable, but the forecast says it’s too big for this break. If you’re a top-tier charger, this is a standout, but it’s a beast.

Monday the 7th is average, with onshore winds returning.

Now, here’s the real standout window. Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning is clean with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, and we’ve got a 16 ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period. The report says the wind and tide are perfect, but the size is too big for this spot. Again, for the experienced surfer, this is the best-looking window of the whole forecast, but it’s for experts only.

Wednesday the 9th drops off with fresh offshore winds but a smaller 12 ft swell.

Thursday the 10th of September is another standout. The morning is glassy, dead calm wind, with a 7 ft swell from the WSW at 16 seconds. The report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. This drop in size and the clean conditions make it a much more appealing option than the giant days. This is the one to circle for a proper session.

From the 11th through to the 13th, we see a mix. Sunday morning the 13th offers an 12 ft SW swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and it’s called exceptional for experts. The following week, up to Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, the swell stays solid at 10 ft to 13 ft, but the wind is cross or cross-on, keeping the quality marginal. The 17th afternoon shows a 13 ft WSW swell with glassy onshore wind, which is a solid end to the run.

So, to wrap it up: the first few days are a bust. The 8th and 10th are the true standouts, with the 10th being the most user-friendly for advanced surfers due to the glass and smaller size. The 6th and 8th are pure power for the pros. The second week has swell but is wind-affected, so pick your windows carefully.

Rusty out.
