The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our little corner of the world. Looks like we’ve got a proper run of groundswell coming, but Mother Nature is going to make us work for it.
We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch, but the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. The real standout is a short window of perfection on the 30th of August, but then it gets messy before we see some serious, potentially dangerous, size later on.
Let’s start with the good stuff. The pick of the entire forecast is Sunday morning, the 30th of August at Surfers Point. We’ve got a clean 12 ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 6471 (moderate wave energy), and with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, it’s going to be glassy. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This is expert territory, no doubt – that swell is over 5 ft, and with that long period, it’s going to be a powerful, walling wave. For the crew that can handle it, this is as good as it gets.
That crisp window closes fast. By Sunday afternoon, the wind swings and the quality drops. Monday and Tuesday are a write-off with strong onshore winds and choppy conditions. Then we get a bit of a lull, with moderate cross-onshore winds and choppy surf through Wednesday and Thursday, the 3rd and 4th of September.
Now, hold on to your boards. By Friday the 4th of September, the swell is set to build to a massive 21 ft from the SW (still that 16-second period), and the combined energy jumps to a massive 19981 (strong to very strong wave energy). The morning wind is fresh cross-shore, but even then, the forecast is warning that this is just too big for the break. This is strictly for the most experienced big-wave chargers, and only if you know what you’re doing.
The following weekend, the 5th and 6th of September, has a lot of size but the wind is still a problem. However, Sunday morning, the 6th of September, is another serious highlight. The swell is still a solid 15 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, but the wind is light and offshore from the SE. The energy is massive (8733), and the conditions will be clean. This is another expert-only session, but it’s a beautiful, powerful wave.
After that, the swell slowly backs off through the second week, but the wind remains a constant issue from the west and northwest. There’s a lot of cross-on and onshore wind, making for choppy, lumpy conditions. The waves are still there, mostly in the 8 ft to 10 ft range, but the quality is poor. We’re looking at a stretch of days from the 7th to the 11th of September where it’s just not worth paddling out.
The forecast ends on a big note, though. Around the 13th and 14th of September, we see another massive pulse of swell, with 18 ft to 20 ft SW swell showing up. The energy is off the charts again (over 16,000), but the winds are onshore, and the forecast is clear: it’s just too big for this spot. That’s a big-wave call for the experts only.
So, to sum it up: the crown jewel is Sunday morning, August 30th, and the second-best shot is Sunday morning, September 6th. Everything else in between is either too windy or too big for a fun paddle. Stay sharp, and know your limits.
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.
