Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks at Davidson Point. The good news is there’s surf on offer almost the whole way through, but it’s a real mixed bag of sizes and conditions. The standout sessions are going to be the larger, cleaner swells, so keep your eyes peeled for those windows.

Starting off the run, Tuesday the 18th is a bit of a tease. We’ve got a clean, glassy 2ft south swell (13-second period) in the afternoon, but the energy is only moderate (178). It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. Wednesday the 19th morning is a little better, with a 3ft easterly swell, but it’s a short-period 6-second wind swell, and the energy is still moderate (211). The conditions are glassy though, so it’ll be clean. The rest of the week and into the weekend is a bit frustrating with mostly small, south-southwest swells, clean but small. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.

The first real standout comes on Sunday the 23rd morning. The swell jumps to 5ft from the east, short period at 7 seconds, but the energy is strong (469) and the wind is glassy. It’s not huge, but it’ll be a fun, clean session. For the more experienced crew, Monday the 24th morning is worth a look. The swell pushes to 6ft east (8 seconds), with very strong energy (669) and glassy calm conditions. This is a very good window. Then Tuesday the 25th morning is the best of the first week – a solid 7ft east swell (8 seconds), massive energy (1020), and clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. This is excellent surf, but at 7ft, it’s getting into expert territory, so beginners should sit this one out.

We’ve got some more quality on offer later in the week. Wednesday the 26th is a solid day with a 5ft south-southwest swell (12-second period), very strong energy (1206 in the morning and 1177 in the afternoon), and clean conditions. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers. The following week continues to pump. Sunday the 30th morning and afternoon are both looking very good, with 7ft to 7ft east swell (8-9 seconds), strong energy (661 to 796), and clean conditions. That afternoon is a real gem. The run ends on a high note, with Monday the 31st afternoon looking very good, 8ft east swell (9 seconds), glassy calm, and strong energy (914).

The first week of September has some potential too, but it’s a bit further out. Tuesday the 1st afternoon sees a 6ft south-southeast swell (10 seconds) with very strong energy (1108) and glassy conditions – excellent for experienced surfers. Wednesday the 2nd is a bit messier with cross-onshore winds, so that’s a pass.

The biggest call is Tuesday the 25th morning – that’s the standout. 7ft of east swell, glassy clean, and massive energy. It’s the one to circle on the calendar. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

Rusty.
