The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s heading to Davidson Point over the next couple weeks. It’s a reef break that loves a south swell, and the outlook’s got some real clean windows, plus a few flat stretches you’ll want to sleep through.

Thursday the 30th kicks off with a tiny 3ft south swell (13-second period) – light cross-on in the morning, then glassy by the afternoon. Clean but barely surfable. Friday the 31st pushes up to 5ft to 6ft from the east, but with a short 6–7-second period, so those waves will be a bit messy and dumpy. Not the best.

Saturday the 1st and early Sunday the 2nd are a total bust – 1ft to 2ft, basically flat. But Sunday morning brings a real pulse: a 7ft east swell with moderate energy (631) and clean cross-off wind. That’s a solid wave for intermediates – just shy of the 8ft mark where it gets too big for beginners. It holds at 6ft Sunday afternoon, still clean.

Monday the 3rd settles to 5ft but goes glassy all day – east swell, 8-second period. Clean and fun. Tuesday the 4th afternoon is a standout: 4ft east swell with a long 12-second period, energy of 510 (moderate), and glassy conditions. That’ll be smooth, lined-up reef waves – perfect for the intermediate.

Then a small spell hits Wednesday the 5th through Thursday the 6th – 1ft swells, long-period but too tiny. Friday the 7th morning offers a brief window of 5ft east swell, glassy, 6-second period – short but clean. The next real highlight is Sunday the 9th: a 2ft south-southwest swell with an incredible 19-second period – combined energy 593 (moderate to strong). That’s a very long-period groundswell, and on the reef those lines will wrap in beautifully. Light cross-off morning, glassy afternoon – clean as.

Monday the 10th keeps it going: 3ft south swell, 16-second period, energy 740 (strong), glassy morning and clean afternoon. Proper quality. Tuesday the 11th holds similar size (3ft, 15 seconds, energy 585–533) with a moderate breeze – still clean but a bit choppy. Wednesday the 12th afternoon jumps to 5ft east swell, 7-second period, energy 632 – punchy but short-period.

After that, the second week fades into small stuff – 2ft to 3ft west-southwest swells with moderate energy, clean pockets but nothing exciting.

Best of the run? Tuesday the 4th afternoon – glassy, clean, 4ft with 12-second period. That’s a session you’ll remember. And for a longer-range gem, Sunday the 9th with that 19-second groundswell – if it shows up, the reef will be firing with long, peeling waves. It’s over a week out, so keep an eye on it.

Water’s about 80°F – just 0.5°F warmer than usual, so pretty average for the season.

Crowds can pop up at Davidson Point sometimes, but with this mix of flat and clean days, you’ll have plenty of room on the good ones.

Catch ya on the water,
Rusty

Information about the Davidson Point Surf forecast

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