Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let me tell you what this stretch is looking like.

We’re talking about Surfers Point, a solid reef setup that’ll have some proper muscle in the water over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at 67° right now, and that’s a good two degrees warmer than what we’d usually get this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

Right off the bat, Sunday the 2nd is your first real taste. It’s not a perfect clean slate, but there’s a strong 12 ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 13-second period. The combined energy is hitting 3936, which is solid. The morning has a cross-off breeze, so it’ll be clean, but those lines will still have a bit of texture. By the afternoon the swell drops just a little to 10 ft, but with a lighter cross-off, it’s actually looking cleaner for the more experienced crew.

Monday the 3rd is a step down. The swell is down to 6 ft but the period jumps to 15 seconds, so there’s still some proper grunt in the water. The morning is rideable but the wind is bumpy, and the afternoon gets messy with a strong cross-shore. Not the best.

Now, Tuesday the 4th is where things start to get heavy. We’ve got a 13 ft WSW swell with a 17-second period – that’s a serious, long-period groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 9480. The problem? The wind is onshore, so the surface is going to be blown out. This is one for the experts only, and even then, the quality is going to be questionable.

Wednesday the 5th is a big one. We’re looking at 16 ft SW swell with the same 16-second period. The combined energy is massive, over 11500. The morning is blown out with onshore wind, but the afternoon lightens up to a light cross-on. It’s still going to be a big, heavy, raw ocean. This is not for the faint of heart or the Sunday loggers.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are write-offs. The swell stays big, between 13 ft and 15 ft, but we’ve got fresh onshore and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. Not worth paddling out.

Saturday the 8th is a standout, but only for the absolute top tier. The swell peaks at a massive 20 ft SW with a 16-second period. The combined energy is off the charts at 17881. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is better than onshore, but at this size, you’re looking at a washing machine at a beach break. This is really a reef or point break situation, and even then, it’s expert-only territory.

After that, the swell backs off into the 10-13 ft range, but the wind stays a problem through the middle of the week. Monday the 10th is a complete no-go with strong breeze and near gale-force winds.

But hold on, because Tuesday the 11th is your real target window. It’s not a huge day – the swell is 15 ft to 16 ft SW, with a 15-second period – but the wind swings to an offshore ESE. The combined energy is still punchy at 9795, and we’re looking at clean, lined-up waves. This is a proper session for experienced surfers.

We skip past Wednesday the 12th, which is just too windy and messy, and then Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are average at best with lumpy cross-shore winds.

Now, the real hidden gem is Saturday the 15th. It’s a little smaller at 10 ft SW with a 15-second period, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the magic word. Zero wind, clean faces, and a solid groundswell. For the crew that knows how to pick a line, that morning will be pure gold. The crowd factor is a bit of a dice roll at this spot, so maybe you’ll get some space.

Finally, Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th wrap things up. Sunday has some cross-wind but the swell at 13 ft is solid. Monday the 17th has a 16 ft WSW swell with a shorter 11-second period, but the wind is a clean cross-off, making for a decent, if not perfect, end to the run.

If I had to pick just two, Tuesday the 11th and Saturday the 15th are your standouts. Tuesday has the power and the offshore wind, Saturday has the glass and the quality. Get out there.

Rusty.
