Surfers Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’re looking at for the local stretch.

We’ve got a bit of a dry spell to start. The first real chance to get wet ain’t until Sunday the 6th, so there’s a long gap of dead days. The weekend stuff on the 5th is a total washout with strong, lumpy onshore winds.

The real show starts Sunday afternoon the 6th. A solid SW groundswell is due to hit, with a very long period of 17 seconds, pushing waves around 15ft. The energy in the water is pumping hard. Winds are clean and cross-offshore from the SSE, making Surfers Point look like a proper beast. This is for advanced surfers only – that swell is too big for anyone without serious experience. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Monday the 7th keeps the energy going. The morning session is a standout – a clean 12ft SSW groundswell, still with a long 16-second period, and light SSE winds. This is clean, powerful, and the crowd profile shows it’s often packed, so get there early. The afternoon drops off a bit but stays clean.

Tuesday the 8th is probably the best two-session day of the whole run. Morning and afternoon both see around 13ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. Winds are a clean cross-offshore from the SE, and the wave energy is huge. This is expert-level, powerful surf that will be holding up well. Again, expect crowds to be a factor.

The rest of the first week and into the second week (9th to 12th September) sees the swell drop back to 7-10ft, with a mix of clean conditions and some lighter winds. It’s still surfable, but the magic is gone. By Saturday the 12th, the wind swings onshore and it’s a flat, poor mess.

We get a second pulse around Monday the 14th. The morning is looking excellent for experienced surfers – a 12ft WSW swell with a 14-second period, and glassy, near-calm winds from the north. That’s a treat for the crew who know what they’re doing. The afternoon is a bit cross-on, but still fine.

From Tuesday the 15th onward, it gets messy again. A strong gale on the 16th brings poor conditions, and a huge 18ft+ swell on the 19th and 20th is just too big for this break, even if the winds are favorable. That’s a no-go for paddling and looks more like a kite session.

So, to sum it up: the standout is Sunday afternoon the 6th for the raw power, but Tuesday the 8th is the real champion for its consistency and quality. Monday the 14th morning is a close second for a glassy, clean session. Don’t sleep on the first week.
