The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been glued to Davidson Point for the next couple of weeks. We’re starting with a slow grind, but there’s some real gold hidden in there if you’re keen.

First few days are small. Friday morning’s a write-off—0.4 ft swell from the SW, cross-on wind, energy at 52. Not worth the paddle. Friday afternoon goes glassy with a 0.5 ft SSW swell, energy at 183. It’s surfable but nothing special.

Saturday morning cleans up: 0.5 ft from the SSW, cross-off breeze, energy at 209. Then Saturday afternoon, the swell jumps to 1 ft from the E at a short 6 seconds. Energy hits 287, and it’s getting fun. That’s the start of the run.

Sunday morning is a real highlight. Glass off, clear skies, 2 ft from the E at 7 seconds. Energy at 317, and the reef is clean and rippable. Water temp is 27°, which is about normal for the season.

Monday afternoon is your best early window: 2 ft from the E at 8 seconds, combined energy at 600, glassy. That’s very good surf. Tuesday afternoon keeps it pumping at 2 ft from the E at 6 seconds, energy 575, still glassy.

Then Wednesday the 12th, the swell swings to the S with an 18-second period. Morning is 0.8 ft, glassy, energy at 700—deeper energy building. Thursday the 13th morning is the standout: 1 ft from the S at 16 seconds, combined energy at 1090. That’s strong, powerful groundswell, glassy and cross-off. The description says excellent for experienced surfers. Crowds can show sometimes, so get out early.

That whole week stays clean and cross-off, with energy in the 500–900 range, right through to Saturday the 15th afternoon when the wind picks up to 12 mph and swell drops to 2 ft from the E—still surfable but a bit blown.

Sunday the 16th morning is good again: 2 ft E swell, offshore wind, energy at 585. Monday the 17th is another standout: 2 ft from the E at 8–9 seconds, offshore wind, energy at 725 and 828. Clean, solid, consistent.

The second week fades fast. Tuesday the 18th drops to 0.5–0.6 ft from the S, energy at 123. Wednesday and Thursday are tiny with poor conditions. Friday the 21st afternoon gives a brief pulse: 2 ft from the E at 8 seconds, energy at 350—good but a week out.

Saturday the 22nd morning has a glassy 1 ft from the E, then afternoon goes glassy with a 0.4 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, energy only 146. A faint whisper to finish.

Your sweet spot is Sunday the 9th through Monday the 17th. The absolute best is Thursday the 13th morning—that 1 ft S groundswell with 16-second period and 1090 energy. That’s for the experienced crew. For everyday fun, Monday the 11th afternoon and Monday the 17th are your cleanest, most reliable waves.

Pick your day, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
