The Lowdown
Gather 'round, crew. Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for our local spot, Surfers Point. It's a reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it's about to get a whole lot of action. Water temps are sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not a bad thing for a dawn patrol.
We're looking at a solid run of swell, but it's not all smooth sailing. The first real chance to get wet starts on Thursday the 30th of July. We've got a 6 ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period rolling in, and the combined energy is a healthy 1931 (moderate). Thursday morning is the pick with a clean cross-off wind from the NNE. It's a solid wave, but it might be a bit tricky for beginners as it's over 5 ft. Thursday afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-on, making it a bit choppier, but still surfable for the keen.
Friday the 31st is a write-off. The swell jumps to 12 ft to 13 ft with a long 16-second period, but the wind is howling onshore, creating lumpy, poor conditions. That's a no-go zone, even for the experts. This is where it gets big and ugly.
Saturday the 1st of August is the real standout. The morning has a 13 ft SW swell with a 14-second period and a moderate cross-shore wind. It's okay, but the afternoon is the absolute winner. We're looking at a 16 ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, the combined energy is a massive 11723 (strong), and the wind is a clean, glassy cross-off from the south. This is big, powerful, and clean. The water will be churning. This is a session for the experts only – 16 ft is way too big for anyone without serious experience. The crowds are likely to be thick here, as it's a consistent spot, but for a wave that good, it's worth the fight.
Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd of August see the swell dropping back to a more manageable 8 ft to 7 ft, but the conditions are only marginal with cross and cross-on winds. It'll be a bit of a mixed bag.
We get another big pulse on Tuesday the 4th of August and Wednesday the 5th of August. Swells hit 13 ft to 15 ft with a long 16-17 second period, but the wind is squarely onshore, making it unrideable. The scores are poor. That said, the long period groundswell is there, and if the wind ever cleans up, it could be magic at a reef like this.
The run from the 6th to the 8th of August is a total washout. The wind is howling, with near gale-force onshore winds on the 8th, and the swell is massive at 16 ft to 18 ft. Don't even think about it. This is kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
Now, look ahead to Sunday the 9th of August. The charts are showing a 20 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a staggering 16439 (very strong). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is promising. However, the forecast notes say it's predicted to be too big for this break. Even for experts, this is pushing the limits of what's safe. It's a very long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but don't book your flights yet.
The pattern continues through to the 14th of August with a lot of big, windy days. A few afternoons on the 10th and 14th show promising windows with smaller swell (12 ft to 15 ft) and better wind directions, earning some decent scores. But for the bigger picture, the Saturday afternoon of the 1st of August is the session to circle on the calendar. It's the cleanest, most powerful wave on offer. After that, it's a waiting game for the wind to play nice.
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.
Surfers Point is 93 km (58 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.
