Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking at Davidson Point over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way, but there are some real gems to get excited about. The water temp is sitting right on 79°, which is just about dead average for this time of year – no surprises there.

The first few days are a bit of a slow burn, but Friday the 10th is where it starts to get interesting. Friday morning, we’re looking at a clean 6ft swell from the east with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm from the ENE at just 3 mph. That’s a proper window of clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (398), so there’s some push there. That morning session is the one to aim for if you want it all to yourself.

Friday afternoon holds up too, with a slightly smaller 5ft east swell, but the wind shifts to a light offshore at 6 mph, so it’ll stay clean and lined up. Not a standout, but solid.

Now, the real standout is Saturday afternoon, July 11th. We’ve got a 6ft east swell, light cross-offshore breeze, and the combined energy is pushing into that moderate-to-strong bracket at 542. The call is for very good surf conditions. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The water will be clean, the waves will have some punch, and the crowds are only ‘sometimes’ an issue here, so you should be able to get a few good ones without too much hassle.

There’s a bit of a weird shift on Sunday the 12th morning – a tiny 2ft swell from the SW with a super long 16-second period. That’s a groundswell, and for a reef setup like Davidson Point, that could actually line up really nicely, even if it’s small. The glassy conditions will help. Worth a look if you’ve got a log.

Through the middle of the week, we see some more of those long-period west and south swells creeping in. Monday the 13th afternoon is a beauty – 5ft from the east, dead calm, glassy. That’s a session you won’t forget. Wednesday the 15th morning is another cracker: 3ft west swell, 15-second period, glassy, and very good conditions. The energy is strong (555), so even though it’s small, it’ll have plenty of grunt.

Heading into the second week, things stay pretty active. Saturday the 18th afternoon looks like a potential sleeper – 7ft east swell, glassy, with very good conditions and strong energy (526). That’s a bigger day, so keep it in mind if you’re comfortable with a bit more size.

Monday the 20th afternoon throws a curveball – a 3ft south swell with a 16-second period, glassy, and very good conditions. That’s a long-period groundswell on a reef, so it could be a real treat if the direction lines up.

The very end of the run, around Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd, drops off significantly. The swell gets small and the energy drops right down into the weak zone (125 and 115). That’s more of a paddle-around kind of day.

So, bottom line: Friday morning the 10th is a solid warm-up, but the absolute standout is Saturday afternoon, July 11th. That’s the one. After that, keep an eye on Monday the 13th afternoon and Saturday the 18th afternoon for some real quality.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.
