Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.

We’ve got a big, extended period of surf ahead, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first few days are absolutely pumping, then things get messy and blown out for a long stretch before a huge swell rolls in right at the very end of the outlook. The standout sessions are Monday and Tuesday this week.

First up, Surfers Point is the spot. The water is sitting at 64.8°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a big deal, but nice. Sunday afternoon kicks things off, but honestly, that 14.8ft SW swell at 17 seconds is just too much meat for this break. It’s a no-go for paddling. Hold out for Monday morning (7th September). The swell drops to a still hefty 11.5ft from the SW, but the period is a very long 16 seconds (groundswell). This is proper energy (6877 combined energy) and with a gentle 9.3 mph SSE breeze keeping it cross-off, it’s going to be clean. This is exceptional for experts only – too big for anyone else. The wind stays favourable into the Tuesday morning (8th September) session too. That 13.1ft SW swell (8195 combined energy) with a 12.4 mph ESE cross-off breeze will offer up more excellent, powerful waves. This is the best on offer – big, clean, and powerful.

After Tuesday, the quality drops. Wednesday (9th) morning is okay, but by Wednesday afternoon the wind goes light offshore (ENE 6.2 mph) with a 9.8ft SW swell – it’s clean but the energy is dropping fast (3649). From Thursday (10th) through to Sunday (20th September), it’s a long, drawn-out period of marginal to poor conditions. The swell hangs around between 6.6ft and 13.1ft, but the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore nearly the whole time, making for choppy, lumpy, and blown-out waves. There’s a nasty onshore stretch from the 11th to the 13th, with strong W and NW winds. Not worth paddling out.

Finally, look out for Sunday afternoon (20th September) and Monday morning (21st September). This is a massive, long-range pulse. We’re talking an 18.0ft to 19.7ft WSW swell with 16 seconds period. The combined energy is insane (20734 and 17730). But the wind is howling onshore (WNW 18.6 mph to W 21.7 mph). This will be a dangerous, messy beast. It’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one. Only the most experienced chargers on the right equipment might have a look, but for everyone else, stay on the sand.
