The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good look at what Davidson Point has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a slow burner. There’s a gap of a few days here where it’s really not doing much. We’ve got some tiny, weak swell and the conditions are ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The first real standout I see is the morning of Saturday, September 18th. That’s over a week away, so keep that in mind, but it’s looking like the best window. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a solid 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with the combined swell energy hitting a solid 692, you’re gonna feel that push. The wind is glassy, coming light from the ESE, which should leave it looking like a mirror. This is the pick of the bunch for sure – a classic Davidson Point day with that long-period SSW groundswell wrapping in.
Another good one to have on the radar is the afternoon of Friday, September 18th. Still a long way out, but promising. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SSW, still with decent period at 16 seconds. Combined energy is 518, so still plenty of grunt. Wind goes glassy calm out of the NNW. That’s going to be clean, lined-up waves.
For the second week, things get a bit more inconsistent. The swell stays small, mostly around 2ft to 2ft, and the periods are shorter. Not much to get excited about, but the winds stay favourable with plenty of glassy conditions. You could still get a fun little session if you’re desperate, but it’s nothing compared to that Saturday the 18th.
Overall, if you can wait, hold out for that Saturday, September 18th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
