Whacky Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s how it’s shaping up for Whacky Point over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, we’ve got some solid surf on the agenda, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first real standout hits us mid-week, and there’s a late run later in the month that looks absolutely firing for the experienced crew. The water temp’s sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The week kicks off proper on Wednesday 15 July. Whacky Point is a beach and point setup, breaks best with a S swell, and it’s inconsistent, so you gotta pick your moments. Wednesday morning sees clean 6ft waves from the east with a 10-second period, light cross-off wind, and a healthy 621 on the energy scale. It’s a good start, but the real juice comes Thursday 16 July. The afternoon session that day is the pick of the early week: 4ft from the SW with a lovely 14-second period, light cross-off breeze, and energy hitting 835. It’s clean, lined up, and that long period groundswell will wrap beautifully around the point – proper waves for the advanced crew.

Friday 17 July keeps it going. The morning is clean with 3ft from the SSW, 13-second period, and offshore wind – 538 energy, but it’s a bit smaller. The afternoon jumps to 6ft from the SSW, 13 seconds, and 1110 energy, but the wind swings cross-off and it’s marginal on the tide. Still worth a look.

Then we hit a rough patch. Saturday 18 July and Sunday 19 July are messy with onshore winds and poor conditions. Monday 20 July is blown out too. That’s a few days of average to poor surf.

Now, here’s the big one. Tuesday 21 July is the standout of the whole forecast. The morning session is pumping: 5ft from the SSW, 14-second period, strong offshore wind, and 1185 energy – very good surf. The afternoon gets even bigger: 7ft from the SSW, a very long 16-second period, and energy screaming up to 2495. That’s serious groundswell. The wind is a gentle cross-off, so it’ll be clean. This is for experienced surfers only – over 7ft, long period, and at a point break, it’s going to be powerful and lined up. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Wednesday 22 July keeps the size but the wind is more cross-on in the morning with 8ft and 2916 energy. The afternoon though? Glassy. 7ft from the SSW, 15-second period, and 2374 energy – excellent surf for experienced surfers. That’s a rare, glassy session on a big swell.

The end of the week (23 July) has fresh offshore winds and solid 8ft to 7ft waves, but it’s marginal on the tide. Still, for the bold, it’s on.

The second week gets quieter. From 24 July onward, the energy drops and winds are mostly onshore or cross-on until Tuesday 29 July, when we see a glimmer. Wednesday 30 July morning is the last real highlight: 5ft from the SSW, 16-second period, cross-off wind, and 1736 energy – excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a late, solid finish to the run.

Overall, if you’re an advanced surfer, lock in Tuesday 21 July and Wednesday 22 July afternoons. The rest has some fun windows, but those two are the standouts.

Rusty.
