Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Davidson Point has got cooking over the next couple of weeks. It's a solid stretch of waves, so let's get into it.

First decent session hits on Sunday, July 12th. Early morning you're looking at a clean 2ft swell from the southwest with a long 16-second period. That's proper groundswell energy, and with a light cross-off breeze, it's gonna be tidy. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year. You’ve got moderate energy in the water here (523).

Sunday afternoon the swell jumps to 6ft, but it shifts to a short-period easterly windswell. Still clean enough with that light cross-off, but it'll be a different beast.

Monday the 13th keeps the 5ft easterly swell rolling. Morning is clean, and that light wind holds. The energy drops a touch (574), but it’s still fun. Through the week, the size comes back down, but the quality stays high. Tuesday the 14th has a lovely 2ft southwest groundswell again, and Tuesday afternoon goes totally glassy – that’s a gem of a session.

Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th still have rideable 3ft waves from the west and southwest, with plenty of glassy patches. The energy drops a little (down to 259 by Thursday morning), but there’s enough. As we head towards the weekend, Friday the 17th serves up a nice 6ft easterly pulse in the afternoon, and it's glassy – that’s another standout.

Now, for the standout of the week, I’d put my money on Tuesday the 14th afternoon. You’ve got 2ft of long-period west swell, total glass, and moderate energy (517). With that reef setup and offshore wind direction, it's going to be clean and lined up. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be perfect. Crowds are possible, but for a session that clean, it’ll be worth sharing.

Looking further out, the second week brings consistent, smaller surf. From the 20th through the 24th, we see a mix of southerly and easterly swells, mostly in the 2ft to 5ft range. A lot of these mornings and afterdays are glassy, which is promising. The standout in the second week looks to be Saturday the 25th afternoon. The swell is only 2ft, but it's from the SSW with a very long 19-second period and the energy jumps back up (489). That’s a proper groundswell pulse, and the glassy conditions should make for some super clean, long lines.

A couple of caveats: this is a reef break, and while it's fairly consistent, those long-period swells can make it a bit more particular about where they break. Also, on the 27th we've got some marginal conditions showing up, so check the latest before heading out late in the period.

Bottom line: plenty of good windows coming up. The next week is your best bet for consistent clean waves, especially the glassy afternoon sessions. The long-range stuff around the 25th has real potential but keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
