The Lowdown

Alright, let’s swap to feet and degrees, I’ll call it the same way.

We’re looking at the 16-day window starting today, and it’s a slow start. The real juice is packed into a couple of days, with a long flat stretch in the middle.

The standout is Tuesday the 28th of July, and then a killer run from Sunday the 2nd of August through to Tuesday the 4th of August. Outside of that, you’ll be sitting on the sand.

Monday the 27th of July is tiny: 2ft from the SSW, 15-second period, glassy but weak. Water temp is 80°F, pretty average for this time of year. Not worth waxing up.

Now, Tuesday the 28th of July is the real deal. Morning hits with 6ft from the east, 13-second period, and glassy winds. The combined energy is strong (1286). That’s solid head-high plus on a reef, and east swell works nicely at Davidson Point (south-facing reef). This one is for the experts; it’s got some grunt. Afternoon drops to 2ft.

Wednesday and Thursday are junk: small and cross-shore.

Friday the 31st of July sees an afternoon spike to 7ft from the east, but with a short 7-second period – that’s going to be a chunky, bumpy mess. Good for body surfing maybe.

Saturday the 1st of August is flat.

The real gold is Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd. Sunday has 7ft from the east, moderate energy (649), and light cross-off winds. Monday the 3rd is glassy calm with 4ft from the east – silky smooth conditions. That’s the session to circle.

Tuesday the 4th of August keeps it going: 5ft from the east, 12-second period, glassy. Three days of fun.

From Wednesday the 5th through Sunday the 9th, it’s flat. Swell barely reaches 2ft. Just a few tiny, long-period pulses but not enough push.

The 10th and 11th of August bring a little more energy but with mixed winds and small size – not a recommended trip.

Bottom line: hit Davidson Point from Sunday the 2nd to Tuesday the 4th of August. Clean, chest-to-head-high east swell, and glassy mornings. That’s your window.

Stay salty,

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.
