The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, so let’s break it down.
First up, the water is sitting at 66°F with a touch warmer than normal anomaly, so it’s a bit of a treat for the time of year – not too shabby for a session.
The first real standout is Saturday the 29th of August. Mornings are looking at a solid 7ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, combined energy of 3512 (moderate), and light ESE winds keeping it clean. That’s a solid session for those who know what they’re doing. But the real gem is Saturday afternoon – the swell builds to 10ft from the SW, period jumps to 17 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 5499 (strong). With a light NE breeze, the conditions are nearly glassy. This is a top-tier window for advanced surfers at Surfers Point (reef) – just keep in mind crowds are likely here, and it’s a consistent spot.
Sunday morning the 30th of August is also a standout. We’ve got 12ft of SW groundswell, a 17-second period, and massive energy at 6797 (very strong). The wind is light from the north, keeping it clean. This is for experts only – it’s going to be big and powerful. Sunday afternoon the wind swings more cross-on, so the morning is the pick.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday the 31st of August all the way through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s mostly onshore, messy, or poor conditions. The swell is still sizeable, but winds are out of the west and southwest, making things lumpy and choppy. Not much to get excited about unless you’re into tough conditions.
But hold on – Monday the 7th of September morning looks like a sneaky window. The swell is back to 13ft from the SW with a 15-second period, energy at 5984 (very strong), and the wind is glassy from the NE. That’s a clean, powerful morning for experts who can handle the size. Afternoon gets cross-shore, so the morning is the call.
The rest of the forecast into the second week gets increasingly wind-affected, with strong cross-onshore winds and poor conditions, especially from the 8th of September onwards. A few marginal sessions but nothing that stands out as reliable.
So, bottom line: the best on offer is Saturday afternoon the 29th and Sunday morning the 30th of August, with Monday the 7th of September as a promising but less certain call. Get on it while it’s clean.

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.
