Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming down the line for us at Surfers Point.

We’ve got a slow start to the outlook, with some lumpy, onshore junk to kick things off. Nothing really worth paddling out for on Saturday the 12th or Sunday the 13th – strong west winds are just wrecking it. The wait is a couple of days, but hang tight.

Now, Monday morning the 14th is when things start to get interesting. We’ve got a solid 13ft swell pushing in from the SW with a long 14-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph, which will keep things clean. The wave energy is strong (6088), and for the experts out there, this is looking exceptional. This is a standout window. It’s going to be big, well over 8ft, so keep it for the experienced crew.

Tuesday morning the 15th is looking magic too. The swell drops slightly to 10ft from the SW, same long 14-second period, but here’s the kicker – the wind is dead calm, glassy. You don’t get much better than that for clean conditions. It’s still a big swell, so the same caveat applies for skill level, but for those who can handle it, this will be a ripper session with moderate energy (3898).

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.

The rest of the week into the weekend gets a bit messy again with wind shifts, and by Friday the 18th we’re looking at gale-force winds and completely blown out conditions. Don’t even think about it.

Then, hold onto your boards for Saturday the 19th. A monster 18ft SW swell is forecast, with a massive wave energy number (21796). This is huge. The wind is cross from the south at 19 mph. The report says it might actually be too big for this break – that's a serious call. Only the absolute best in the water should even consider it. Sunday the 20th will still be pumping with a big 12ft to 13ft SW swell hanging around.

Looking into the second week, there’s another big pulse arriving around Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd. Tuesday morning the 22nd is a standout on paper: a big 13ft SW swell with a very long 15-second period, light offshore wind from the SE at 6 mph, and exceptional conditions predicted for experts. The energy is strong (7187). That’s a session to mark on your calendar, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Eventually the swell fades towards the end of the period, with dropping period and more onshore winds creeping in.

So to sum it up, the real highlights are this Monday morning the 14th and that glassy Tuesday the 15th. If you can wait, that Tuesday the 22nd is looking promising but less certain. This isn’t a spot for beginners when it’s over 5ft, and it’s going to be well over that for most of the good days.

Stay safe out there.
