The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down in feet and miles.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a messy start. The opening days of the forecast are a write-off for anything clean. We’ve got a big, powerful groundswell building from the WSW, but the wind is just going to tear it up. Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September are looking at solid 8ft to 10ft swell, but with a strong cross-onshore and onshore flow, it’s choppy and blown out. The combined energy is massive, but it’s just ugly out there. Forget it.
The pattern holds through Wednesday and Thursday, with the swell jumping to 12ft and even 15ft by Friday the 4th. The wind stays in the onshore quadrant, so Surfers Point is just getting hammered. That Friday afternoon, the 4th, we see a glimmer. The wind drops to a gentle breeze from the SW, but it’s still cross-onshore. The combined energy is huge, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s a rough, lumpy affair. It’s for the committed only.
Now, the real standout, and I mean the *standout*, is shaping up for Monday the 7th of September afternoon and into Tuesday the 8th. The pickup is coming in the late morning on Monday when the tide and wind are predicted to be favorable for a solid 12ft to 13ft groundswell from the SW. The combined energy readings are off the chart. Now, the caveat here is that the swell period hits 22 seconds on Monday—that is *very* long period. This is pure, raw groundswell energy. This long-period pulse is best suited for the reef setup at Surfers Point, but at a beach break this size and period can make it close out. Monday afternoon, the wave report says it’s too big for the break, but the wind and tide are right. I’d be looking at it with serious respect. It’s for experts only.
Tuesday the 8th, the swell eases slightly to 15ft to 16ft, but the period drops to 18 seconds. Still a huge swell, still big energy. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which will keep it fairly clean but still lumpy. This is the best window of the whole run for those who can handle it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no dramas there.
After that, the swell stays solid through the second week, but the wind starts to mess with it again. From Wednesday the 9th through the 11th, we’re looking at solid 12ft to 15ft swell, but the cross-shore and onshore winds return, making it choppy. The combined energy stays high, but it’s not the quality of the 7th and 8th.
Then, on Saturday the 12th of September, we get another massive spike. The morning shows 20ft of swell from the WSW with a 16-second period, and a combined energy reading that’s enormous. The wind is from the NNW at only 9 mph, making it a gentle cross-shore—that’s pretty clean for such a beast! But again, the report says it’s too big for the break. That is a heavy, heavy day for experts only, and I’d be checking the channel and the paddle-out carefully.
The final days, the 13th, 14th, and 15th, are a slow taper down. We’re still looking at 16ft and 15ft swell, but the wind picks up again (19 mph from the NW), making it a lumpy, onshore mess. The combined energy is still strong, but the quality is gone. The last day, Tuesday the 15th, sees the swell drop back to 8ft with a light cross-onshore, but it’s just a so-so finish.
So, to sum up: the first week is mostly a wash. Don’t bother. The absolute best, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 7th of September afternoon through to Tuesday the 8th. That’s the sweet spot for big, powerful, clean-ish surf at Surfers Point. The 12th of September is a monster, but it’s a serious beast. Everything else is either too windy or too messy to get excited about. Stay patient, wait for that window.
Rusty out.

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.
