The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's headed our way at Davidson Point.
We're looking at a bit of a messed-up start, with the first real chance to get wet coming on Sunday afternoon the 6th. The early part of the week has some size, but it's not for the faint of heart.
Sunday afternoon kicks things off with a solid 7ft swell from the east, riding a 12-second period. The wave energy is strong at 2033, and with light cross-offshore breeze, the surface is clean. This is serious, intermediate to expert territory. Water temp's sitting at a very warm 81°, which is spot on for this time of year, so no surprises on that front.
The real standout window looks like Friday afternoon, the 11th. After a run of small, ordinary surf, the afternoon turns on. We get a 4ft swell from the east with an 11-second period and, most importantly, glassy conditions with the wind dropping to nothing. The combined energy hits 557, which is a healthy moderate push. This is the moment for the crew who've been waiting. The swell direction isn't a perfect match for the spot's optimum, but with clean lines and no wind, the quality should be there.
Saturday the 12th holds some promise too, with glassy conditions in the afternoon and a similar 4ft easterly swell. It's not the standout Friday is, but a solid backup.
From Monday the 14th onwards, the waves drop right off. We're looking at tiny 1ft to 2ft swells for days. There are moments of glass, but it’s just not enough push to get excited about.
Come Wednesday afternoon the 18th, we see a slight uptick. A 3ft SSW swell on a long 17-second period, with glassy conditions. The combined energy is a moderate 537, and the surface will be perfect. This long-period groundswell will peel better if it gets a bit of shape, but at a point like this, that long period can mean longer waits between sets.
In summary, the standout bet is Friday afternoon the 11th for that early glass and punchy east swell. The next best is the glassy afternoon on the 18th, though that's a longer wait and a smaller, cleaner wave.
Rusty.
