Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.

Alright, so we've got a solid run of surf coming up at Davidson Point. This reef setup is exposed to the swell, and it's looking fairly consistent across the whole 16-day window, which is a real treat. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

The first real action kicks off on Wednesday the 8th of July. We're looking at a clean 6ft easterly swell, with a cross-off breeze from the east at just 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (523), and the waves are very clean. That's a great way to start the period.

Thursday the 9th is more of the same, with a 6ft easterly swell in the morning. The wind stays light and cross-off, so it's still clean. The afternoon does get a bit of a rain shower and the wind picks up to 12 mph, but it's still rideable.

Now, Friday the 10th of July is where it gets special. The morning is glassy, with a light breeze from the ENE at just 3 mph. The swell is a clean 5ft from the east. For a reef break, that's near-perfect conditions. The energy is a bit lower though (316), so it won't be a heavy day, but the shape will be beautiful. The crowds are a possibility here, so keep your eyes open.

Saturday the 11th keeps the 6ft easterly swell rolling, with offshore winds in the afternoon. The energy is building back up (570), and the conditions are very clean. It's another solid day.

Sunday the 12th is a bit of a change-up. The swell drops to 2ft, but it's a long-period groundswell from the southwest at 16 seconds. That's a classic point-break style swell. The combined energy is still moderate (573), but the waves will be very clean and the glassy conditions will make it a joy to be out there, especially if you're on a point or a river mouth.

The real standout for the whole period, though, has to be Monday the 13th of July. We're looking at a 6ft easterly swell with a 8-second period, and the morning is glassy. The combined energy is strong (655), and the conditions are expected to be very good. This is the pick of the week for solid, clean waves.

The following week, from the 14th to the 19th, keeps the quality up. There's a mix of easterly and westerly swells, all with light winds and glassy conditions. The energy stays moderate to strong. The 18th of July is another big day, with a 7ft easterly swell and a very high energy reading of 778. That's a serious wall of water, and it's clean. For the experts, that's a big day.

The final few days, from the 20th to the 23rd, see the swell drop off a bit. The energy starts to weaken, and the conditions become more ordinary. The 22nd has some cross-shore wind, and the 23rd is just surfable but not special. The period ends on a quieter note.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is definitely Monday the 13th of July for the best combination of decent size and glassy conditions. The 18th of July is the one for the big-wave hunters, but it's a deep-water reef, so that's for experienced hands only. The rest of the run is consistently clean and fun, with a few glassy mornings that are hard to beat.

Rusty out.
