Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the horizon, but the wind is going to be the story—sometimes it’s gonna be your best mate, sometimes it’s gonna mess things up real good.

The pattern for this stretch is all about holding out for the right windows. There’s a massive pulse of groundswell coming, but it’ll take a few days to get clean. The real standout session looks like Saturday the 26th of September.

For now, the main event is Surfers Point. It’s an advanced reef break, very consistent, and it loves a good WSW swell. The water temp is sittin’ around 64°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 15th kicks things off with a solid pulse. We’re lookin’ at 10 ft of SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 4009. But the real beauty is the wind—it goes glassy calm in the morning. That is a treat. Clean faces and heaps of power, but this size is for experienced surfers only. In the afternoon, a light cross-off keeps it very clean.

Wednesday the 16th sees the swell back off a bit to 7 ft in the morning, still clean with a cross-off from the NNE, but the quality drops off a touch as the energy eases to 1967. The afternoon remains clean though.

Then things go south for a bit. Thursday the 17th through Wednesday the 23rd are mostly a write-off for quality surf. The wind gets strong and onshore or cross, and the conditions turn messy. There’s still swell around, but it’s gonna be choppy, lumpy, and wind-affected. Not the kind of stuff you paddle out for unless you’re keen on a fight.

Sunday the 20th is a bit of a tease with 10 ft of SW groundswell at 15 seconds (4009 energy), but it’s light cross-onshore. That’s the best of a bad bunch in that stretch, but far from perfect.

Now, Thursday the 24th of September—this is where it gets interesting. A big SW groundswell pushes in, reaching 20 ft in the afternoon with an 18-second period and monster energy reading of 23292. The wind is moderate cross-shore, but at this size, it’s way too big for Surfers Point unless you’re a seasoned charger and you know the lineup. This is expert-only territory.

Friday the 25th of September keeps that massive energy coming—21 ft in the morning (26267 energy!) and 18 ft in the afternoon, both with 17-18 second periods. The wind turns light cross-shore on Friday morning, but the swell is still too big for this spot.

Saturday the 26th of September is the one to circle. The swell drops to a still-pumping 12 ft (5898 energy) from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind goes cross-offshore from the N. Conditions will be clean and groomed. The combined energy is high, the period is long, and the wind is right. This is the standout for the whole forecast. For an advanced crew, this is going to be worth the wait.

Sunday the 27th onward holds a lot of 12 ft plus swell, but the wind keeps switching around, mostly onshore or cross, so the quality stays marginal through to the end of the month. There are glimmers, like Monday the 28th afternoon with a gentler cross-shore, but the earlier part of the second week is the real gold.

Take it easy out there, and wait for the right wave.
