Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got the full picture on what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks. It’s a wild ride, so let’s get into it.

We’re looking at a solid run of swell at Surfers Point, a reef break that’s exposed and needs a bit of skill. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The action kicks off Tuesday, July 28th. Morning brings a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping hard at 3929, and with a light ESE cross-off breeze, it’s going to be clean. This is proper experienced surfer territory – waves this size aren’t for beginners. The wind stays light into the afternoon, but it shifts cross, so the shape might get a little wonky.

Wednesday, July 29th, is a real standout. The swell drops a touch to 8ft from the SW, still a long 13-second period, but the wind swings to a light NNE cross-off in the morning. That’s the magic combo for a reef like this – clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The energy is still strong at 3068. This is the pick of the early days.

Thursday, July 30th, keeps the quality high with a 6ft SW swell and a very light N cross-off. It’s a bit smaller, but still clean and fun for the experienced crew.

Now, hold on to your board. Friday, July 31st, things get messy. A big 12ft to 13ft SW swell arrives, but the wind comes in strong from the NW and WSW, making it choppy and blown out. A total write-off.

Then we hit Saturday, August 1st. This is another big moment. The swell jumps to 15ft from the SW, and the energy is massive – 8607 in the morning, capping out at 10529 in the afternoon. But here’s the thing: the wind is light ESE to SE, keeping it cross-off and *clean*. That’s massive for a swell this size. It’s going to be big, powerful, and very clean. This is a serious day, only for experts. The crowd is often here, so expect a lineup.

Sunday, August 2nd, the swell eases back to 8ft, with a NE cross-off. Clean, but nothing special compared to the Saturday peak.

Monday, August 3rd, is a wipeout. The wind cranks up to 22-19 mph from the NNE, making it lumpy and unpleasant.

From Tuesday, August 4th, through to the end of the forecast, we’re into a period of huge, dangerous, and windy conditions. The swell goes from 10ft to a terrifying 25ft, and the wind is howling from the W and WNW, often onshore. The energy numbers are off the charts (25357, 30472), but the wind is making it un-surfable. For a few days there, the setup is so bad it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions calm down by the 12th, but the swell is small and the wind is messy.

The Bottom Line: The true standouts are Wednesday morning, July 29th, for the best combination of clean, powerful waves, and Saturday, August 1st, for the raw, massive, clean swell – but that one is only for the brave. The long-range stuff from the 5th onwards is huge but wind-affected, so keep an eye on it, but don’t get your hopes up.

Rusty.
