Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here again. Let’s talk the same stretch in feet and miles per hour.

The first couple of days are a bit of a battle – there’s swell around but the wind is chewing it up. You’ve gotta wait for the clean windows.

Starting Wednesday the 16th of September at Surfers Point. This is an advanced reef break, very consistent, and exposed. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. Wednesday morning has a 7 ft swell out of the SW with a 13-second period, moderate energy (1730). Wind is a light 9 mph from the NNE, cross-offshore, so it’s glassy and clean. The tide might mess with it a bit, but it’s a good session. Afternoon is even lighter – 5 ft from the SW, with a 6 mph N breeze, also clean. Fun little waves.

Thursday the 17th goes downhill. Morning has a 5 ft WSW swell at 14 seconds (1029 energy), but a 12 mph NNW wind makes a cross-chop. Afternoon turns choppy with a 5 ft swell and 16 mph NNW wind – skip it.

Friday the 18th is a write-off. Morning: 5 ft from the WSW with a 22 mph N wind – lumpy mess. Afternoon is a gale: 34 mph NW, 16 ft WNW swell – blown out and dangerous. That’s kite-surf only.

Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are messy. Saturday onshore W winds at 16-19 mph, swell dropping from 13 ft to 10 ft from the WSW – ugly. Sunday the 20th morning cleans up slightly: a 8 ft SW swell, 10 mph S wind, light cross-shore. Not great but sessionable. Afternoon: 8 ft SW, 9 mph SSW wind, gentle cross-shore – still marginal.

Monday the 21st to Thursday the 24th of September: marginal. Monday morning has an 12 ft SW swell (4436 energy) with a 6 mph W onshore wind – it’s clean and glassy but the swell is 12 ft, which is expert-only. The real gem is Tuesday the 22nd afternoon: a 10 ft SW swell at 14 seconds (4024 energy) with a 12 mph SSE wind blowing cross-offshore – clean, moderate, and the strongest option in that week. Crowds are often, so be early.

Second week brings a monster. Friday the 25th of September: 16 ft WSW at 19 seconds, energy through the roof (17059). Light 9 mph SW wind, but the swell is too big for this break – experts only. Same for Saturday the 26th: 20 ft SW at 16 seconds (16669) with 19 mph SW wind – lunacy.

Things drop to 12 ft by Sunday the 27th but the wind stays cross-onshore. Monday the 28th morning sees a 6 ft SW swell (1458) with a light cross-on wind – first decent smaller window.

The standout for the whole chart is Tuesday the 29th of September afternoon: a 13 ft SW at 18 seconds (9612 energy) with a 16 mph SSE wind cross-offshore – clean, powerful, and lined up. That’s for experts only at that size, but it’s the best wave of the run. Wednesday the 30th stays big: 10 ft SW at 16 seconds, cross-offshore winds at 19 mph – clean but strong.

Final word: for the average surfer, Tuesday the 22nd afternoon is your clean, 10 ft window with good winds. For the heavy hitters, Tuesday the 29th afternoon is the bomb – 13 ft, clean, and scary.

Rusty out.
