Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer right now. Davidson Point is our only real player in the game for this whole sixteen-day window, so we're focused on it. The water is sitting at 80°, pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We've got a slow start, with nothing much happening until Tuesday the 21st of July. The first solid call is Tuesday morning, with a clean 2ft groundswell rolling in from the south. The period is a juicy 15 seconds and the wind is glassy out of the east, so it's going to be clean. The combined energy is weak (245), but for a little reef setup like Davidson, this is going to be a fun, tidy little wave. The afternoon holds the same vibe, a touch bigger at 3ft. This is a solid, clean option to ease into the week.

Wednesday the 22nd looks even cleaner, with a 3ft south swell and a 14-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the face will be nice and tidy. Energy picks up a little (599). This is the kind of morning you don't skip.

Things get interesting by Thursday the 23rd. The swell holds around 2ft from the south-southwest but with a long 20-second period, giving the waves real push. The cross-off wind keeps things clean. Energy is up at 871. It's a refined, high-quality day for an intermediate surfer.

Friday the 24th sees a shift. The morning bumps up to 6ft, but the period drops right off to 7 seconds. That's a short-period, wind-driven pulse from the east. While the wave state is clean thanks to a light cross-off breeze, that short period means it might not be the most refined wave at this reef. The afternoon settles back to a nice 3ft, 17-second SSW groundswell.

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are standout days, no doubt. Saturday morning is glassy, with a 3ft, 19-second SSW swell. That is just about perfect for a point or reef – long lines, energy, clean conditions. The energy is strong (833). Sunday holds a similar 3ft, 16-second swell with clean, glassy or light cross-off winds.

The following week holds some options, though they are a bit flatter and less energetic. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th have smaller swell, around 2ft to 2ft, but it's still glassy. By Wednesday the 29th, we see a return to some fun south swell, still small but clean with calm to glassy winds.

Now, for the real standout moment in the second week: look at Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd of August. We get a pulse of 7ft from the east, and while the period is a short 7-8 seconds, the wind is dead glassy to light offshore. That's a solid bit of size, pushing into expert territory at over 7ft. The energy is moderate to strong (595-726). For the experienced crew, this is the clear highlight of the whole outlook – glassy, sizeable, and with the offshore wind keeping it clean.

The outlook fades out after that, with a very ordinary Tuesday the 4th and a poor Wednesday the 5th, so make the most of the first two weeks. The spot has plenty of consistency for the reef, so it's a good run.
