Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Davidson Point. This reef break is exposed to the south, and we’ve got a real mixed bag across the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a solid run of surf starting Thursday, July 9th. The morning kicks off with an east swell at 6ft, period a short 8 seconds, but the energy is pumping with a moderate 519 combined energy. It’s a bit on the lumpy side with a cross-off wind, but the water is a warm 79°, which is totally normal for this time of year.

The real standout, though, is Friday morning, July 10th. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy, dead calm. That’s the kind of morning you get out of bed early for. The wave energy is still moderate (364), and those conditions are going to be smooth as silk. That’s your best bet for a clean, fun session.

Saturday morning, July 11th, is also looking glassy with the same 5ft east swell, so you could do a lot worse. Then things get interesting on Sunday, July 12th. The morning has a glassy, clean 2ft swell from the southwest, but get this – the period is a very long 16 seconds, and the energy is strong (535). That’s classic groundswell. On a reef, that’s going to produce some proper, lined-up waves with long waits between sets. It’s a different vibe than the short-period east stuff, but for the connoisseurs, that Sunday morning glass-off is a spicy little treat.

The middle of the week, Monday July 13th and Tuesday July 14th, keeps the glassy mornings going with a mix of east and west swells, the west swells carrying that long period. The energy stays moderate to strong. It’s not huge, but it’s consistent and clean.

We hit a bit of a lull around the 19th of July. The energy drops right off (115 combined energy), and the swell gets small and weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s a good time to wax the board and wait.

The second week picks up again. The 21st of July, Tuesday, has a glassy morning with a 5ft east swell, good energy. But the real sneaky highlight is the afternoon of the 21st: a 3ft south swell, 15 seconds period, glassy winds, and a strong 578 combined energy. That’s a long-period groundswell on a reef. It’s not big, but it will be quality. The 22nd and 23rd continue with that clean, offshore vibe, though the swell gets smaller.

So, to wrap it up: the glassy morning of Friday, July 10th, is your cleanest, most user-friendly window. For those who love the long, drawn-out lines, don’t sleep on the glassy Sunday morning of July 12th or the Tuesday afternoon of July 21st. The crowd factor is a ‘sometimes’ here, so you might have some company, but the quality will be worth it.

Keep your eyes on the horizon.
