The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what we’ve got on the table for the next couple weeks.
We’re looking at a solid run of southwest groundswell for Surfers Point (reef), but hold your horses – the early days are a bit of a tease. Friday the 28th is building but the wind is just messy enough to keep things average; honestly, not worth paddling out for. The real show starts to crank Saturday morning the 29th. That’s when we see the first proper standouts: Saturday morning has a clean 7 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period and light offshore ESE breeze – clean lines with proper energy (combined energy of 3510). That’s a good one. But the standout of the entire run is Saturday afternoon – 10 ft SW at a very long 17 seconds, super clean conditions with light cross-off wind, and the swell energy is pumping at 5223. For experienced surfers, that is the session to circle.
Sunday the 30th keeps the goodness going early – 12 ft SW, 17 seconds, light breeze, clean, and monster energy (6797). But it’s for the experienced crew only – that’s big swell, and the reef handles it well, but it’s not beginner territory. By afternoon the wind shifts onshore and things get messy. After that, the week goes downhill hard. Monday the 31st through to about Saturday the 5th of September is a write-off – strong onshores, cross-onshore gales, rain, and choppy slop. The swell is big but the conditions are brutal. The setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a gap of about four or five days where it’s just poor, but things start to clean up again by Sunday the 6th. The swell drops to a smaller 5 ft SW on Sunday morning, clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy is moderate (1654). Monday the 7th is small and unremarkable. The next real highlight comes on Wednesday the 9th – but fair warning, the swell is predicted at 16 ft WSW. That is way too big for this break, even if winds look favourable. Thursday the 10th is even bigger – 21 ft WSW. This is only for experts and even then, the break might be maxed out. The following days hold solid size but with onshore winds, making it a marginal call at best.
Water temp at the start is 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for late August – not a big deal, but noticeable on a dawny.
If you’re a solid experienced surfer, Saturday the 29th afternoon or Sunday the 30th morning are the absolute standouts. Don’t bother with the rest of that first week. The second week has size but the windows are narrow and the swell gets extreme.
Stay sharp.
Rusty.

Information about the Surfers Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Surfers Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Surfers Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Surfers 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. If you surf the same spot (Surfers Point) 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 Surfers 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. 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.
