The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's coming up for the next couple of weeks. We've only got one spot on the radar for this stretch: Surfers Point, a reef break that needs a solid WSW swell to get going and is for experienced crew only. It's a long-range look, so the later windows are more of a watch-and-see situation.
The water temp at Surfers Point is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there, just your standard winter/spring mix.
Right off the bat, the surf is on offer from Sunday morning the 23rd of August. The first few days look pretty average at best. We've got chest to head-high, 8ft to 10ft, SW swell coming in at a decent 13 seconds, but the wind is a problem. It's coming from the SSW and NW, blowing cross-on and making things choppy. The energy is moderate (2766), but the combo means it's more of a messy paddle than a good session. This runs through Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th gets worse, with strong winds making it a no-go.
Wednesday the 26th is a strange one. The swell really jumps up to 18ft from the WSW and the period hits 18 seconds. That's some serious groundswell, with very strong energy (19985). The model says wind and tide are favourable, but the report also says it's too big for this break. For a reef, even for experts, that's pushing a raw, dangerous edge. I'd be giving that a wide berth.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th see the swell drop back to a manageable 8ft to 13ft from the SW. The wind swings around to the SSE, giving us a cross-off breeze. This cleans things up nicely. Thursday morning looks the pick of this little window with a good 13ft SW swell (6678 energy) and clean conditions. It's still a heavy wave, but it will be holding its line.
Now, the standout of the whole 16-day forecast is Saturday the 29th of August. The swell drops a bit to 8ft, but the wind is due east, which is pure offshore for Surfers Point. It's glassy, clean, and coming from a light breeze. That SW groundswell has a very long period of 16 seconds (3402 energy). For a reef like this, that long-period energy will wrap in perfectly, offering solid, organised lines. This is the morning to circle on the calendar for the experienced crew.
Sunday the 30th is another eye-catcher. We go back up to a solid 12ft from the WSW with a 16-second period (5562 energy), and under a clear sky we get the holy grail: glassy conditions. A light breeze from the WNW, flat calm. This is about as good as it gets for an expert-level wave. The size makes it a big-wave call, but the quality will be exceptional.
After that, the forecast gets more uncertain through the first week of September. We see a lot of cross-on wind and choppy conditions on Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st, with the swell staying around 8ft to 12ft. The model is calling it marginal.
The second week of September has a few things brewing. The 6th and 7th of September show another massive pulse, with swell heights forecast at 26ft to 28ft from the WSW with long periods of 17 seconds. The energy rating is huge (40399). Again, the report flags it as too big for the break. For a reef, that’s a full-on survival mission, not a surf. There's a shorter-period 20ft W swell on Saturday the 5th of September with a short period of 10 seconds (6760 energy), which is just a big messy wall of water. The real call for the second week is to keep an eye on that glassy Sunday the 30th and the offshore Saturday the 29th; those are your best bets in the whole window. The later stuff is just too far out and too big to trust.
The takeaway: The standout sessions are Saturday morning the 29th of August (offshore) and Sunday morning the 30th of August (glassy). Both for the expert crew. The rest of the window is either too small, too messy, or too dangerous. Crowds are often a thing here, so get there early if you're aiming for those clean windows.

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.
