The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Lookin’ at the next couple weeks at Surfers Point – there’s plenty of SW groundswell on the way, but the wind’s gonna be the story. The water’s running about 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal – about 2°F above average for this time, so it’s a nice little bonus.
Friday morning (21 August) we’ve got a solid 12 ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds. Combined energy is pumping at 5427 (moderate-strong). Wind is light out of the NW at 3 mph, cross-onshore, so there’s just small ripples. It’s a reef break, advanced and very consistent – not for learners. The afternoon wind swings to the SSW at 9 mph, gets choppy.
Saturday (22 August) sees 10 ft swell with a 16-second period, but a 12 mph SSW cross-wind puts a chop on it. The longer period means longer lulls – good for paddling out but tricky on a reef with cross-chop. Sunday (23 August) holds 8 ft but winds stay cross.
The standout – Wednesday 26 August morning. Swell hits 16 ft from the WSW, 18-second period – that’s very long-period groundswell. Combined energy goes huge at 16803 (very strong). Wind is SSW at 9 mph straight offshore. The guidance says tide and wind are good, but this break is gonna be way too big for most – experts only. The afternoon gets lumpy with 19 mph cross-onshore wind.
Thursday (27 August) the swell drops to 13 ft, wind clean from the S at 9 mph – still a big groundswell (15 seconds), energy at 6856. Friday 28 August morning cleans up nicely – light SE cross-offshore at 6 mph, swell down to 8 ft at 12 seconds, glassy conditions, energy at 2172 (moderate). This is the sweet spot for a solid, clean session without the monster size.
Into the second week, from 30 August to early September, we see repeating pulses of 10 ft to 12 ft SW swell with long periods, but wind is often cross or onshore. The 1st September morning shows a nice WSW wind at 6 mph, 12 ft at 16 seconds (energy 5990) – promising but long-range. The 3rd and 4th September are blown out with fresh WSW winds and rain – skip those. Then Saturday 5 September cleans up with a SE cross-offshore, 13 ft at 13 seconds – clean faces and moderate energy.
Best bets: Wednesday 26 August morning for the big-wave crew, and Friday 28 August morning for a clean, manageable session. The second week has some potential around 1st and 5th September – cross your fingers on the wind.
Rusty.

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.
