Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Davidson Point. This is a reef break, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the south, so it’s gonna pick up a mix of pulses through the fortnight. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first swell kicks in Monday 6 July morning with a clean 3ft SSW groundswell, period a healthy 16 seconds, and light east wind making it cross-off. The combined energy sits at 699 (moderate), so there’s some real push behind it. That’s a standout for the start of the week – clean, shapely waves with nice long lines. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. The morning’s the pick, with afternoon looking a touch smaller but still clean.
Tuesday 7 July holds similar 3ft SSW swell, dropping to 14 seconds, still clean with light winds. Good consistent surf, but not quite the standout of Monday.
Wednesday 8 July is a big shift – an east swell bumps up to 6ft, but period drops to 7 seconds. That’s short-period wind swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and less organised. Combined energy hits 544 (moderate). It’s still clean with cross-off ESE wind, but the quality’s not as good as the groundswell days. Thursday 9 July and Friday 10 July morning are similar – 5ft to 6ft east swell, short period, but Friday morning goes glassy, which is a huge plus. That’s a good window if you want clean but not particularly powerful waves.
Saturday 11 July morning brings back some decent energy – 6ft east swell with 8 seconds, cross-off wind, combined energy 525 (moderate). Sunday 12 July drops right off to 2ft SW groundswell, 16 seconds, but it’s small and clean.
Now, Monday 13 July is a real standout. The morning is glassy, 5ft east swell with 8 seconds, combined energy 533 (moderate). That’s a clean, lined-up session with no wind at all. The afternoon is glassy too, 5ft east swell. That’s a day to circle.
Tuesday 14 July is another beauty – glassy conditions all day, 2ft west swell, but period jumps to 18 seconds in the morning and 17 in the afternoon. Combined energy hits 593 and 618 (moderate). That’s a very long period groundswell, and at a reef break like Davidson Point, it’ll draw some beautiful, walled-up waves. Just be aware those long-period swells can be a bit tricky – big gaps between sets, but the shape will be top-tier.
From Wednesday 15 July through to Sunday 20 July, the surf drops to small 2ft to 6ft waves, mostly east or west swell, with periods from 6 to 17 seconds. A lot of those days have glassy or light wind conditions, so if you’re after a mellow, clean session, there’s plenty to choose from. The 6ft east swell on Sunday 19 July afternoon is a decent push, with 6 mph offshore wind.
The last few days, 20 July and 21 July, are small again – 2ft S swell, 13 to 15 seconds, clean and glassy. Good for a longboard or a fun mid-length.
If I had to pick the best of the lot: Monday 6 July morning for that first punchy, clean groundswell, and Tuesday 14 July for the glassy, long-period west swell with proper energy. Get out there.
Rusty.

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.
