Whacky Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, let’s talk about the window ahead for Whacky Point. This is a beach and point setup, and it’s an inconsistent one, so we gotta be picky about when we paddle out. The water temp is sitting at 67.3°, which is basically normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The next few days aren't anything to write home about. Wednesday the 5th starts off with a little 4.3ft easterly swell with a 10-second period, and the morning is looking glassy with that light NNW wind. That's a fun one, but it’s short-lived. The afternoon wind swings around and puts a damper on it. Thursday and Friday are poor, with onshore winds and mixed-up conditions. Don't even bother.

Saturday the 8th brings a bit more energy, with the swell picking up to 4.6ft from the SSW, but the wind is on it, making it a bit messy. The energy is moderate at 1117, but it’s not clean enough to get excited about. Sunday the 9th is a bit more interesting. The morning has a moderate offshore wind with a 4.6ft SSW swell, and it’s clean. The afternoon, though, jumps up to 8.2ft from the SSW with a fresh cross-offshore breeze. This is pushing into more serious territory, and the energy is strong at 2635. That’s a step up.

Now, here’s where it gets real. Monday the 10th is pushing 9.8ft, but it’s from the SSE with a short 9-second period. That’s a lot of water moving, but it could be a bit unruly. The energy is strong at 2035. This is for experienced surfers only, and the rain and cross-offshore wind will keep it raw. Tuesday the 11th settles a bit to 6.2ft, but it’s still a bit on the big side and not super clean.

The standout window is looking like Wednesday the 12th through to Friday the 14th. The morning of the 12th has a 6.2ft ESE swell with an 8-second period, and it’s offshore and clean. The energy is strong at 1113. This is a good one. But the real gem is Thursday the 13th morning. We’ve got 8.2ft of easterly swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is offshore and moderate. The energy is pumping at 2771, and the conditions are excellent for those who know what they’re doing. This is the one to circle. Friday the 14th morning is also solid, with 9.8ft from the ESE and a 12-second period, and offshore winds again. The energy is up at 2537. This is a serious stretch of surf, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

After that, the week settles down. Saturday the 15th has a clean 5.2ft morning with glassy conditions, a nice little breather. The following week, from the 17th onwards, things get smaller and less consistent. The 19th has a promising morning with a 4.6ft SSW swell and a 13-second period, and it looks clean. That’s worth a look.

The big call is Thursday the 13th. It’s a powerful, clean, offshore day with a strong groundswell. This is a highlight. The 14th is a close second. But remember, this is a longer-range call, so treat it as promising but not set in stone. The swell direction is from the east, which is what this spot likes to see. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company on the good days.

Just a heads-up, when the swell is over 8.2ft, it’s for experts only. And with that short period on the 10th, it could be a bit of a washing machine. For the rest of us, the smaller, cleaner days like the 12th or the 19th are the smarter plays.

That’s the look. Keep it salty.
