The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, with the imperial version. Let’s talk Davidson Point.
Right out of the gate on Wednesday, 22 July, we’ve got a clean little swell. Cross-off breeze, 3ft south swell with a real long 14-second period. Water temp is about 80°, pretty average for this time of year. Moderate energy pushing in (737). The reef is working, and it’s a good vibe for intermediate surfers. Crowds are possible, but not nuts. That south direction is exactly what this break wants.
Thursday (23 July) and Friday (24 July) keep the consistency. Swell runs from 2ft to about 6ft. Friday morning has a short, lumpy east swell at 6ft with only 7 seconds – a bit messy for the reef. But Friday afternoon? Glassy, 3ft south-southwest groundswell at 17 seconds. That’s the sweet spot.
Saturday (25 July) morning is glassy again, 3ft south-southwest at 19 seconds. Light airs, clean. A top session. Afternoon picks up a gentle cross-off, still clean.
Sunday (26 July) stays glassy both sessions. Size drops a touch to 3ft, but that 16-second period keeps the lines tidy. Energy is solid in the afternoon (718).
Monday (27 July) goes quiet. Swell down to 2ft, energy in the 200s. Surfable but nothing special. Then Tuesday, 28 July – this is your standout. Both morning and afternoon are glassy, with 5ft to 6ft east swell at 13 seconds. Energy jumps way up to 1019 and 1148 – that’s strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. Clean, powerful, reef bowling. Don’t miss it.
Wednesday (29 July) gets a cross-on breeze and energy drops. Still glassy in the arvo but ordinary. Thursday (30 July) is a write-off – choppy and small.
There’s a gap in quality from 30 July till the morning of Friday 31 July. That Friday morning has a clean 2ft south-west 16-second groundswell for a sneaky glassy session, but it’s small.
The next standout is Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August – both mornings push 6ft east swell, but with a short 7-8 second period. It’s sizey, but a bit raw. The offshore wind on Sunday 2 August morning (ENE 10 km/h) will make it hollow on the reef. Not for beginners, but good for the experienced crew.
Monday 3 August stays clean with 6ft east swell, then Tuesday 4 August is glassy at 4ft. Solid, but not a standout.
Wednesday 5 August pops again. Glassy morning, 5ft east swell at 13 seconds, energy at 805. Clean, lined-up, punchy. That’s a good morning.
The week after? Fizzles out. Thursday 6 August is tiny – barely 1ft, energy in the double digits. Not worth it.
So: Tuesday 28 July is the session of the period – glassy, 5-6ft, 13-second east swell, strong energy. Wednesday 5 August is your second-week pick. Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August offer size, but the short period makes it rougher. Get after the good days.
Stay stoked. – 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.
