The Lowdown
Righto, gather ‘round. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, but there’s some serious power on the horizon for those who know what they’re doing. Let’s get into it.
The overall story is that we’ve got a solid, long-period SW groundswell setting in, but the wind is going to be a real pain for a lot of the run. The first standout window is actually later on, so don’t expect much straight away.
We kick off on Friday, 31 July with a massive 13 ft SW swell from a 16-second period, but the wind is howling from the W at 19 mph. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 67 °F, but honestly, conditions are poor. The combined energy is a hefty 7564, but it’s a write-off for surfing.
The first real chance to get wet comes Saturday, 1 August. The morning is still a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, but by the afternoon, the wind swings to the SSE at 9 mph, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The swell is pumping at 16 ft from the SW, with a 15-second period. The combined energy is massive at 10760. This is the first standout. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s going to be clean. This is for experts only, as it’s well over 8 ft. The long period means it’ll be grinding down the line at Surfers Point (reef), which is a good thing for a reef setup like this.
Sunday, 2 August is a nice step down. The wind is light and cross-off from the NNE, producing clean conditions. The swell is still a solid 10 ft to 12 ft from the SW, with a 13-second period. The energy is moderate at 3775 to 3809. This is still a heavy wave, but it’s much more manageable.
Monday, 3 August starts with a gem. Glassy conditions with the wind from the N at 3 mph. The swell is 6 ft from the SW, with a 15-second period. This is a beautiful, clean, long-period groundswell. The energy is 1575. It’s the best of the smaller days. The afternoon gets a bit of a touchy onshore wind, so get it in the morning.
Then it gets ugly. Tuesday, 4 August through to the end of the first week is a write-off. Strong winds, rain, and lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell is huge, but it’s unsurfable. This is a gap of about 4 days with no real recommendations.
The next real window opens up on Monday, 10 August. The morning is looking exceptional. The wind is light from the SSE at 6 mph, giving a clean cross-off breeze. The swell is a solid 15 ft from the SW with a 15-second period. The combined energy is 9354. This is for experts only, and it’s a standout. The sets will be long and powerful.
The second week gets a bit messy again. Tuesday, 11 August has some okay waves but the wind is up and the swell is dropping. By Wednesday, 12 August, we’re looking at near gale-force winds, so forget it.
There’s another pulse of big swell around Thursday, 13 August and Friday, 14 August, but it’s again too big and too windy for most. The energy numbers are insane, peaking at 53715 on Saturday, 15 August, but the wind is howling onshore. This is only for the absolute hardcore, if anyone, and even then, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, the best on offer is hands down the afternoon of Saturday, 1 August for the big, clean, powerful swell, and the morning of Monday, 10 August for another round of clean, heavy groundswell. Be smart, be safe, and know your limits.
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.
