Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Davidson Point has in store for us over the coming weeks.

We’re looking at a run of surfable days, but it’s a slow burn start with no real standouts until the weekend. Thursday the 2nd kicks off with tiny 1ft surf on a long 14-second SSW swell – glassy conditions, but it's really just a paddle around with only moderate wave energy (102). Not much to get excited about.

Friday the 3rd starts messy with a short-period 4ft E swell and cross-shore wind, so give the morning a miss. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, with 2ft SSW swell and a 17-second period – that's proper groundswell energy, with moderate energy levels (231) and cross-offshore breezes. Conditions are clean, but the size is small.

The real standout arrives on Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th. Saturday morning we’ve got 2ft of S swell, a thumping 21-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. The combined energy jumps right up to strong (585), and it stays clean all day. Sunday is just as good: 3–3ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and light cross-offshore breezes, with energy peaking at a solid strong (797) on the Sunday arvo. This is where it’s at – clean, lined-up waves, with that long period making for easy paddling and good shape at this reef setup. Offshore is from the NE, which is ideal for Davidson Point. Crowds can show up sometimes here, so get in early.

Monday the 6th holds solid energy (733 in the afternoon) but the swell drops a little. Tuesday the 7th brings a morning glass-off with clean 3ft SSW swell, but the real shift comes Tuesday arvo – we see a bump in size to 6ft, but it’s a short-period 8-second E swell. Still, with moderate wind, it’s rideable and fun for the intermediate crew.

Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th serve up consistent 5–6ft E swells, but the period is short (6–8 seconds). The energy stays strong (over 500), and winds are favourable – glassy on Thursday arvo with no wind. These will be punchy, but the short period means it might close out a bit at times. Still, plenty of fun for those keen on a bit of power.

Into the second week, Friday the 10th holds 4–5ft E swell with glassy morning conditions, then it fades. Saturday the 11th drops right back with ordinary 1–2ft SSW swells and cross-shore wind – not worth the effort.

From Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 15th, we see consistent but small 2–3ft SSW and W swells, with moderate to strong energy (500–658 on the good sessions). The periods are in the sweet spot (15–17 seconds), so the quality is there. Winds are mostly light offshore or glassy. These are your sneaky good days if the size doesn’t bother you. The best of this run might be Monday the 13th afternoon: 2ft W swell, 17 seconds, light offshore wind, and strong energy (658).

Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th fade right out with tiny surf and weak energy, down to 97 by Friday arvo. A glassy dawn on the 17th with 3ft E swell might tempt you, but it’s all low energy – more of a longboard or SUP session.

Water temp is sitting around 78°F, right on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

All in all, the standout window is Saturday and Sunday (4th and 5th) – those are the best on offer. For a more mellow but still quality paddle, keep an eye on Monday the 13th.

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.
