The Lowdown

Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Davidson Point’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a fairly consistent run of surf on the cards, but the quality varies. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing too crazy there. The real standout period is kicking off this Sunday, the 19th of July, with some really nice conditions setting the tone. That first session on Sunday morning is looking beautiful – glassy, light winds, and a clean 5ft east swell rolling in. The wave energy is moderate but solid (376), and with the wind as light as a whisper, the lines will be clean. It’s an intermediate reef break, often has a few heads out, but on a morning like that it’ll be worth sharing the takeoff zone.

The following week shapes up nicely too. Wednesday the 22nd through to Saturday the 25th is where the real quality sits. The swell direction swings more southerly and the periods get seriously long – we’re talking 14 to 19-second groundswell. That’s proper energy. The combined energy readings are strong, hitting 739 up to 974, meaning there’s plenty of push behind the waves. For a reef like Davidson Point, that long period energy will wrap in nicely and set up some proper, well-shaped walls. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are absolute rippers – glassy or cross-offshore winds, clean faces, and wave heights around the 2ft to 6ft mark. The Friday afternoon swell is 6ft with an offshore breeze – that’s a proper session for the experienced crew. Just be mindful, with that long-period groundswell, the sets will be less frequent but much more powerful.

After that high, the second week tails off a bit. The wave energy drops into the lower three-digit range, but there are still fun, clean, glassy mornings to be had. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are your pick for a relaxed paddle, with waist-high, glassy SSW swell and no wind. Into the end of July and the first days of August, the surf gets pretty small and weak – under 3ft most of the time, and the combined energy dips below 200 on the 2nd. You’ll find a wave but it won’t be setting the world on fire.

The true standouts are definitely the Thursday morning the 23rd and the Friday afternoon the 24th – that’s when the stars align for the best quality, biggest swell, and cleanest conditions. Get it while it’s good.

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.
