The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story but in old-school numbers. Ventura Point looks like a tough stretch for the most part. The first week and change is mostly tiny surf – well under 3ft – with a lot of wind that’s trashing what little there is. The water is weirdly warm, 72°, which is about 8° above normal for this time. That’s nuts.
The one and only highlight is Monday the 7th of September. That morning we’ve got a 4ft south groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period – that’s proper long energy. The combined swell energy is reading 733 (moderate to strong), but the best part is the wind is glassy, dead calm, and the offshore is from the NE. That’s going to make Ventura Point look like a mirror. It’s a beginner-friendly size, and on a point break, that long period will set up nice, clean lines. That’s your session.
The day before, Sunday the 6th, has a slight chance with 3ft swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s not the same quality. By Tuesday the 8th, it’s already getting chopped up again. From the 9th right through the 15th, it’s flat and small – a week or more with nothing over 2ft and rubbish winds. The combined energy drops into the double digits some days. It’s dead.
So, don’t bother for the first week or the second week. Just pencil in that Monday the 7th morning. Glassy, fun, and clean. The rest is a bust. Rusty.

Information about the Ventura Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ventura Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ventura Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ventura 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 (Ventura 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 Ventura 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.
