Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the outlook for Surfers Point. We’ve got a solid run of powerful, long-period groundswell lining up, but the wind is gonna play games with us. This is an exposed reef break that demands respect, so when it’s on, it’s on for the experts.

The opening Saturday morning, the 29th of August, kicks off with a proper clean 7 ft SW groundswell, period at 16 seconds, and an offshore ESE breeze. The combined energy is pumping at 3362, and the water temp is sitting about average for this time of year. Surfers Point, as an exposed reef, loves that long-period SW direction – the waves will be well-shaped and powerful. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but be aware it’ll often be crowded here.

That Saturday afternoon gets even better. The swell jumps to a solid 10 ft SW, with a 17-second period, and the wind swings light offshore from the East (5223 combined energy). This is exceptional surf for the crew that can handle it – deep, fast, and clean.

Sunday the 30th looks like the pick of the first weekend. The morning has an 12 ft SW swell, still 17 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze from the North. The combined energy is 6471. This is big, heavy surf – over 8 ft, so expert-only territory, but if you’re on your game, it’ll be unreal.

The good news keeps rolling. After a messy spell from Sunday afternoon through the start of the week with onshore winds, the next standout window arrives on Monday the 7th of September. The morning session offers a glassy 8 ft SW groundswell, 13-second period, and a slight 5 km/h offshore from the Northwest. Combined energy is 3909. Glassy conditions on an 8 ft reef wave? That’s a gift.

Tuesday the 8th morning mirrors that – 8 ft SW, 16 seconds, light offshore from the East (3458 combined energy). Clean, powerful, and calling your name.

Now, hold onto your board for Thursday the 10th of September. The afternoon session is the absolute standout of the entire 16-day period. We’re looking at a massive 15 ft WSW swell, 17-second period, with total combined energy off the charts at 9980 – that’s seriously potent. And the wind? Pure glass. Dead calm. This is exceptional, expert-only surf. Massive, clean, lined-up reefs. It doesn’t get much better than this on paper, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep your fingers crossed.

The following Friday the 11th holds onto that size, 15 ft to 13 ft WSW, but the wind goes cross-shore and moderates. Still a good session for the strong paddlers out there, with energy still massive (10044 and 8258). Things then wind down through the second week with smaller, wind-affected 10 ft to 12 ft SW swell, but nothing that tops that magical Thursday the 10th afternoon.

So, to sum it up: there are some gaps with poor conditions in between, but the peaks are tall. The first weekend is a goer, but the absolute crown goes to Thursday the 10th of September afternoon. That is the one worth circling on the calendar.

Rusty, signing off.
