The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down.
Davidson Point is looking good over the next couple of weeks. Water temp is around 81°F, pretty much normal for this time of year.
Things get rolling Thursday the 27th with a clean 3ft S swell, long 17-second period. That’s groundswell, and on a reef like Davidson Point, that’s money. Winds are glassy in the morning, light cross-off in the afternoon. Combined energy is moderate (635). This is the highlight – excellent surf with easy paddling, and the direction is perfect from the south.
Friday the 28th is similar but a touch smaller at 3ft, still clean and glassy. Saturday the 29th drops to 2ft with a 13-second period, still clean and fun. A nice consistent run.
Sunday the 30th brings a change. Swell picks up to 5-6ft but shifts to a short-period east swell at 7 seconds. It’s more windswell. The surface stays clean with light cross-off winds, but the quality won’t match the earlier days.
Monday the 31st stays on that E swell, 5-6ft, short period. Glassy in the afternoon though.
Tuesday the 1st is split. The morning is a washout with a tiny S swell and light onshore wind. But the afternoon fires up – 6ft E swell with glassy conditions and strong energy (833). That session looks very good.
Wednesday the 2nd brings back the quality S swell, 3-3ft with a 16-second period. Glassy all day. Energy is strong (665-706). Another standout. Thursday the 3rd holds up with 5ft E swell and clean winds.
The first week is strong. Into the second week, Saturday the 5th is the pick – 5ft E swell with a 12-second period, glassy in the morning and clean offshore wind from the north in the afternoon. Energy hits 856. That’s powerful. Expect very good surf.
Monday the 7th is a bit messy in the morning but cleans up. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see a return of solid E swell around 5-5ft with 8-9-second period. Clean conditions. Good energy.
The run fades Friday the 11th as strong north winds blow in and the swell drops. But that’s two weeks away.
Best days: Thursday the 27th, Wednesday the 2nd, and Saturday the 5th. Keep an eye on those glassy, long-period S swells.

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.
