The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the surf coming our way. The water here is about 81°F, which is normal for this time of year, no surprises.
We’re starting this Saturday, the 5th of September, with a solid 6-foot groundswell out of the east. It’s got a long 13-second period, pumping a ton of energy. Wind is light offshore from the north-east, so Davidson Point is going to be clean and lined up. This is proper stuff for intermediate and above – plenty of power. It can get a few heads in the water on a day like this, but the quality makes it worthwhile.
Sunday the 6th holds that same east swell, around 6 to 7 feet, with a long period keeping the ocean energetic. Morning winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping things tidy, though a chance of thunderstorms pops up in the afternoon.
Monday the 7th is the big one. We’re looking at 8-foot swell in the morning, jumping to 12 feet by the afternoon. This is a heavy, powerful SSW groundswell with a 15-second period and massive energy. The wind is strong at 25 mph, but still cross-offshore, keeping the face somewhat clean. This is expert territory only—do not take this lightly.
Tuesday the 8th drops a bit to around 8 feet, but the wind turns onshore and chops things up. No good. Wednesday and Thursday are small and weak—skip those days.
Now, pay attention. Sunday the 14th of September, a new east swell hits 6 feet and goes absolutely flat calm. Glassy. It’s a dream. Clean, chest-to-head-high waves.
Then the week of the 15th and 16th keeps that glassy theme going with consistent east and south-west swells in the 6 to 7-foot range. The 16th Wednesday afternoon has a super long 18-second SW groundswell with zero wind. That is a standout for anyone who loves a long, clean wall.
The absolute best day on the books is the 18th of September. Friday morning and afternoon bring a 4-foot SSW groundswell with an incredibly long 17-second period. Energy is high, winds are calm, conditions are glassy. This is the kind of day you take off work for. Perfect, clean conditions.
We finish on the 20th of September with another glassy afternoon and clean 3-foot swell, ending the forecast on a beautiful, mellow note.
Bottom line: the first weekend (5th-6th) and the second weekend (18th-20th) are your prime windows. Don’t sleep on that 14th either.

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.
