Whacky Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, with a real standout window but also some long quiet spells.

First up, the water is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real action kicks off on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. This is the one to circle. Whacky Point will be handling a solid 6ft of SSW swell, with a nice 14-second period bringing some real grunt. The kicker is the cross-offshore wind, which should keep the faces clean. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1421, telling you there’s some serious juice in the water. This is for the advanced crew only, as it’s a bit too big for beginners, and the break is inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient and pick your sets. It’s the best on offer, no question.

The Thursday morning session on the 3rd will be much smaller, dropping to 3ft from the SSW, but with those same clean cross-off winds. The energy drops to 309, so it’s a lot more mellow, but still a good option for a quiet paddle.

Now, things get ugly. From Friday the 4th, the wind swings onshore and sticks around for days. The swell tries to push through on the 4th with a 12ft SSE swell, but with 25 km/h cross-shore winds, it’s going to be a choppy, messy mess. The combined energy is huge at 2338, but it’s all for nothing with the wind. After that, we have a long, bleak run from the 5th through to the 14th of September. Most days are a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions. The waves that do show up are either too small or blown out.

There’s a glimmer of hope on the morning of Tuesday the 8th, with a tiny 3ft SSW swell and light cross-off winds, but the energy is weak at 340. It’s surfable, but not worth getting excited about.

The next real potential window is Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. A 6ft swell from the ESE rolls in, but it’s a short 8-second period, and the wind is onshore again. The energy is moderate at 792, but it’s likely to be a lumpy mess. Not one for the highlight reel.

To wrap it up: Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, is your absolute standout. Everything else is a struggle to find a clean wave. The long gap of poor conditions from the 5th through to the 14th is a real bummer, but that one morning session makes it worth keeping an eye on the charts.

Stay stoked, and pick your days.

Rusty.
