The Lowdown
Grab your board and let's get into it. The long-range models are showing a wild couple of weeks for us out at Surfers Point, and I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit of a rollercoaster. We've got some serious muscle in the water early on, but the wind is gonna be a major player. Let's break it down.
The week kicks off, but it's not pretty. Monday the 10th is a write-off. We've got a strong cross-onshore breeze and a heaving 17ft to 18ft SW swell with a short 10-second period. The energy is moderate to strong (5199 to 10064), but it's just a messy, blown-out wash. You'd be a fool to paddle out; it's more of a kite-surfing kind of day with that much wind and chop.
Then things get interesting, and a bit scary. Tuesday morning the 11th, the swell jumps to a solid 20ft from the SW, with a much longer 16-second period. The energy is cranking, really strong (17570). The wind is still cross-onshore, but the comment says it's too big for the break. This is serious, hold-down territory. Over 8ft, and this is only for the most expert of experts, and even then, with that wind, it's gonna be a battle. The afternoon drops slightly to 18ft, but it's still poor.
Wednesday the 12th settles down a bit to 13ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore and the energy, while still strong (7030), is less focused. It's marginal at best.
Now, here's where I get a little excited. Thursday the 13th afternoon is the first real highlight of the run. The swell is still a meaty 15ft from the SW, but the period stretches out to a very long 17 seconds. The wind is just a light cross-onshore, making for some clean lines. The energy is strong (10568). This is the day to be out there if you've got the skills. It's big, powerful groundswell, so it should be reeling down the point. This is the standout for the first week for the experienced crew.
Friday the 14th morning is clean again, thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The surf is a bit smaller at 12ft, but it's still a solid swell with a 16-second period. This is more manageable and would be the pick for a lot of people. The energy is moderate (6378), but the quality looks great.
The weekend (Sat 15th and Sun 16th) is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops to 8-10ft and the wind goes a bit haywire. Saturday is chopped, and Sunday is clean in the morning but with less power. It's not terrible, but nothing to write home about after the earlier days.
The following week on Monday the 17th, we see another big pulse of swell, with 17ft from the WSW at an 18-second period. That's a huge, long-period groundswell. However, the wind is from the NW, which is cross-onshore, making it lumpy. It's a case of a lot of energy (13878) being ruined by the wind. Still looks like a day for experts to charge, but it won't be the glassy perfection we saw earlier.
From Tuesday the 18th onwards, it starts to get messy. Strong cross-shore winds on Tuesday and Wednesday, with another massive 20ft pulse on Wednesday the 19th morning, but it’s accompanied by a fresh onshore wind. That’s too big and blown out. The energy is huge (16154), but it's just not fun surf for the average punter. The end of the week looks poor, with winds being the main story rather than the waves.
So, if you’re looking for the best on offer, I’d circle Thursday the 13th afternoon and Friday the 14th morning. That’s your window. The conditions are the most favorable for the size, with the big, clean groundswell doing its thing at the Point. For the rest, it’s a waiting game for the winds to swing around.

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.
