The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
It's a real slow start on the Zero (point) break. The first few days are pretty lackluster, with a funky 3ft SSW swell on Monday the 27th and 3.3ft on Tuesday the 28th, but the conditions are just not working with it. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 71.2°F with a 7.4°F anomaly, which is pretty unusual.
The real bright spot, the only time you'll want to paddle out, is the Tuesday afternoon session on the 28th of July. We get that 3.3ft, 17-second SSW groundswell, which is a lovely long period. The combined energy is solid moderate (720), and the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze. That's going to set up some nice, clean lines on the point. The break is rarely consistent, so this is a rare treat you have to grab.
After that, the swell hangs around for a bit into Wednesday and Thursday, but the wind shifts onshore or cross-shore, blowing out the potential. The swell fades fast, and from Sunday the 2nd of August right through to the end of the outlook, we're looking at a massive dry spell with nothing but small, weak waves (energy dropping from 93 down to 80) and poor conditions. It's a long, flat stretch.
So, if you're waiting for a wave, your one and only shot is that Tuesday afternoon. It's not a standout for size, but for the quality of the conditions, it's the best on offer.

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