The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, talking about the next 16 days for our spot. It’s a rollercoaster, mostly for the experienced crew. We’ve got plenty of energy, but the wind is gonna be the deciding factor.
The main spot is Surfers Point, a reef that handles some serious size. The water is warm, about 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
Wednesday, August 12th starts with a 13ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a bit choppy. The energy is moderate (7399). You can surf it, but it’s not the peak.
Thursday, August 13th brings a 15ft SW swell with a 16-second period. Energy is building (9419). The morning has a light cross-onshore, but it’s a big step up. This is for experts only – over 8ft.
Friday, August 14th is the one to circle. The morning has a 12ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the north, making it clean. The energy is solid (6227). This is the best of the first week, but still expert territory.
Saturday, August 15th drops to a 8ft swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, creating a chop. Not great.
Sunday, August 16th is back up to 12ft from the WSW, with a fresh cross-offshore wind keeping the face clean. Energy is good (4597). A big wave day.
Then things get rough. Monday, August 17th is a total loss with strong onshore winds and rain. Tuesday, August 18th has a 13ft swell but a moderate cross-chop. Wednesday, August 19th is messy with strong winds.
Thursday, August 20th is a big red flag. The swell is predicted to be huge – 18ft to 20ft with extreme energy (16225 to 19927). The wind is okay, but the swell is too big for the break. Don’t even think about it.
Friday, August 21st through Sunday, August 23rd sees the swell back to 10ft to 13ft, but the wind is mostly cross-shore or cross-off, with a bit of chop. The Saturday afternoon of the 22nd has a clean look with a cross-offshore wind, but it’s not a standout.
The final week from Monday, August 24th is sloppy. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, with a fresh breeze. The swell is still there, 10ft to 18ft, but it’s messy and lumpy. Not worth the paddle.
For the best chance, focus on Friday morning, August 14th at Surfers Point. It’s the cleanest, most powerful window. The Sunday morning, August 16th is a solid second choice. The rest is a lot of waiting for the wind to play nice.
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.
