The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Let’s talk about Surfers Point. This is a proper reef break, only for the experts, and it’s wide open to the swell. The water is a balmy 68°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than it should be for August – feels like a tropical anomaly.
First up, we’ve got a massive 23ft SW groundswell rolling in on Saturday, 8th August, with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is off the charts (26693). But the wind is a cross-shore SSW at 25 mph, making it a choppy, messy mess. The swell is way too big for this spot, even for the hardcore crew. We’ll have to take a rain check.
Sunday, 9th August, the swell drops to 16ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. Conditions are poor. Monday and Tuesday are a write-off with strong winds and blown-out conditions. There’s a solid gap of a few days here with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday, 12th August, morning. The swell is down to 15ft from the SW with a 14-second period, and we finally get a light onshore wind from the W at 6 mph. It’s still marginal, but the energy is there (7998). Thursday, 13th August, looks a bit cleaner. The afternoon shows a light cross-onshore breeze, the swell is 13ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is still solid (8650). A tricky one, but there might be a few clean ones for the reef rats.
Now, the standout. Friday, 14th August, morning. This is the one. The swell is 12ft from the SW with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the N at 9 mph. The conditions are exceptional for expert surfers, with clean lines. The energy is still pumping (6208), and that offshore breeze will make the reef glassy. This is the best we’ve got. Saturday, 15th August, is smaller and more marginal.
The second week is a wild ride. The swell picks back up to 16ft on Monday, 17th August, with a strong cross-onshore wind, and it stays big and windy. The energy levels are massive (over 26962 on the 19th), but the wind is just too strong, making it a blown-out, lumpy mess. There are a few windows where the tide and wind line up, but the swell is always too big. For the kite surfers, those big, windy days might be a blast, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a wash until the 14th. Mark your calendar for that Friday morning, 14th August, at Surfers Point. It’s the only real standout. After that, it’s a long run of big, messy swells into the second week. The long-range stuff on the 22nd and 23rd looks promising in size, but it’s a week away and the wind is a gamble. Keep your hopes up, but don’t get too excited yet.

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.
