Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, mate, we’ve got a solid run of swell heading our way over the next 16 days, and it’s looking pretty consistent for Davidson Point. There’s a bit of a wait for the real quality, but the whole period is full of clean, glassy or offshore conditions, which is a massive win for any reef break. The water’s sitting at 80.2°F, which is pretty close to normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Tuesday the 21st kicks things off in the morning with a 2.3ft south swell, period at 15 seconds, and glassy conditions. That’s a proper groundswell, and right from the get-go the energy is moderate, sitting at 245. It’s a clean start. By the afternoon, we get a touch more juice, with the combined energy jumping to 456, and the swell still holding strong from the south at 2.6ft. The wind is a light cross-off from the east, so expect clean lines all day.

Wednesday the 22nd really starts to hum. The morning brings a 1.6ft south swell, but the period has jumped to 24 seconds – that’s a very long-period groundswell, and the energy is up at 530. It’s still cross-off and clean. That kind of period will make for some beautifully shaped waves, perfect for the reef setup here, just expect longer lulls between sets. The afternoon gets even meatier with 2.0ft from the SSW, period 23 seconds, and energy at 635.

Thursday the 23rd is a standout morning. The swell is 2.3ft from the SSW, period 20 seconds, and the energy hits 846. It’s cross-off and clean again. This is the kind of day where the point will be reeling. The afternoon keeps up the quality with identical swell and wind, energy climbing to 972. The consistency is great, and the conditions are textbook.

Friday the 24th is a cracker but a bit of a mix. The morning brings a 5.6ft east swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds. That’s a windswell, and while the energy is still strong at 677, the short period will make it a bit softer and less organized. But it’s glassy, so still fun. The afternoon gets back to the long-period stuff, 2.6ft from the SSW at 17 seconds, offshore wind from the ENE, and energy at 838. That afternoon session is the one to target.

Saturday the 25th keeps the run going, with 2.6ft to 3.0ft SSW swells, periods around 19 seconds, and clean cross-off winds all day. Energy is in the high hundreds. Beautiful conditions.

Sunday the 26th is another glassy morning, with the same long-period SSW swell at 3.0ft and energy at 485. The afternoon picks it up again to 725. You’re not going to miss much over this stretch.

Monday the 27th sees the swell drop back a little – 2.6ft from the SSW, period down to 15 seconds, but still glassy and clean. Energy is moderate at 424. It’s still good, but not as punchy.

Tuesday the 28th holds in the 2.0ft to 2.3ft range, but the period is dropping to 13 seconds in the afternoon, and we get a cross-on wind. The energy drops to the low 200s, and the quality falls off. Wednesday the 29th through Thursday the 30th see the swell staying small at 2.0ft to 2.3ft, periods in the 13-14 second range, and the conditions are glassy but ordinary. Energy is low, mostly in the 160-200 bracket. Still paddleable, but nothing to get fired up about.

Friday the 31st is a slight improvement, with 2.0ft south swell, period 12 seconds, and glassy conditions. Energy climbs back to around 200. Still small, but clean.

Then we get a bit of a refresh on Saturday the 1st of August. The swell stays small at 2.0ft from the SSW, but the wind goes offshore from the ENE in the afternoon, with a gentle breeze. Energy jumps to 304-306. It’s a clean little window.

Sunday the 2nd of August is a curveball. The morning brings a 4.6ft east swell, period a short 7 seconds, with cross-off winds and energy at 281. The afternoon gets bigger – 5.9ft east swell, still short period, 15.5 mph cross-off wind, and energy at 433. It’s a bit of
