The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, this 16-day window kicks off with a bit of a slow start. There’s no real surf to get excited about for the first few days, so don’t rush down to the beach just yet. The first proper recommendation lands on Sunday the 2nd of August, but even then, the conditions are a bit mixed.

We’re looking at Davidson Point as the main option. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, exposed to the south. The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The standout session looks like Wednesday morning the 5th of August. Swell is 4 ft from the east, with a 10-second period. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the south, so the surface will be smooth as silk. Combined swell energy is moderate at 336. It’s not massive, but the clean conditions make it a real winner for an intermediate surfer. This is the best on offer in the first week.

Sunday the 9th of August also has some fun waves. Morning brings 6 ft from the east, 7-second period, with cross-off winds from the ESE. Energy is moderate at 403. It’s a bit short period, so the waves might be a little crumbly, but still surfable and clean.

Now, the real excitement builds toward the second week. Wednesday the 12th of August is a standout. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 4 ft from the south, 17-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, which means proper, powerful lines. Combined energy hits 1173, which is strong. The wind is glassy from the ESE. This is for experienced surfers only, as the long period will make it punchy and a bit tricky. Still, it’s the best wave of the whole outlook, though being 12 days out, keep an eye on the forecasts.

Friday the 14th of August is another beauty. Morning has 4 ft from the south, 16-second period, glassy winds from the east, energy at 827. Afternoon goes offshore from the NNE, still 4 ft from the south, energy up to 970. The wind is light and offshore, so expect clean, well-shaped waves. This is a top pick for the second week.

Crowds at Davidson Point are sometimes a thing, so you might have a few others out, but with a reef setup and this quality, it’s worth the company.

The long-period swells on offer are best suited to a point or reef like Davidson Point, so you’re in the right place.

To sum it up: the first few days are quiet, then we get a few solid sessions from the 5th, but the real gems are the 12th and 14th of August. Keep those dates penciled in.

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.
