G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown for Davidson Point. This reef breaks consistently, takes south swell, and gets real good when the wind behaves. Water temp is about normal for the season.

We start Monday the 6th of July with clean but modest surf. Morning brings a 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period pushing moderate energy (426). That long period gives the waves real grunt, and the cross-off from the ENE keeps ‘em clean. Afternoon is much the same – 3ft, 15 seconds (408). Crowds might show, but it’s not packed.

Tuesday the 7th stays steady: 3ft SSW swell dropping to 14 seconds (369) in the morning, then 3ft in the afternoon (288). Easterly cross-off winds keep it tidy.

Now Wednesday the 8th is the one. We’ve got 6ft from the east with a short 8-second period (607) in the morning, and 7ft in the afternoon (618). That’s moderate-to-strong energy. Morning is glassy – dead flat water – and that’s a huge plus for clean waves. This is my top pick for the whole forecast. The short period means it’s a bit quick and crumbly, but on this reef it’ll still peel. Over 5ft, it’s expert territory, so leave the beginners on the beach.

Thursday the 9th holds at 6ft to 6ft from the east (431 to 468) with light cross-off winds. Friday the 10th drops to 2ft from the south (82 to 74) – weak, surfable but nothing special.

Saturday the 11th bounces back: 6ft east swell, 8 seconds (539) with offshore winds from the ENE in the morning. Clean and punchy for the experienced. Afternoon is 5ft (495). Sunday the 12th is glassy with 2ft from the SSW, 16-second period (480 to 498) – small and clean.

Monday the 13th brings 6ft from the east, 8 seconds (675) with glassy afternoon conditions. Strong energy. Tuesday the 14th is all about the long period: 2ft from the west with an 18-second period (594) and glassy all day. That’s classic groundswell – long waits but proper waves.

Wednesday the 15th stays in that vein: 2ft west swell, 16 seconds (476 to 420), glassy. Thursday the 16th is 2ft west, 14 seconds (370 to 360), still glassy.

Friday the 17th gets windier in the morning with 9 mph easterly cross-off and a 2ft SSW swell (163) – only ordinary. Afternoon jumps to 6ft east (395). Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th both have 5ft to 5ft east swells (423 to 528) with glassy conditions. Sunday afternoon is a standout – calm winds and 5ft (528).

Monday the 20th finishes with 5ft to 5ft east (419 to 568), dead calm both sessions. Tuesday the 21st holds at 6ft east (499) with light cross-off. For the second week, the glassy days around the 18th to 20th are the best bets – that Sunday afternoon on the 19th and Monday afternoon on the 20th look promising, but it’s a long way out.

The real standout is Wednesday the 8th – 7ft east swell with glassy conditions. That’s the session to circle on the calendar.

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.
