Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down. Over the next 16 days, the surf at Davidson Point (reef) starts off pretty quiet but builds into some real good sessions, especially mid to end of the forecast. There’s a slow start and a couple of lean days, so don’t rush out right away—it gets a lot better.

First real surf shows up Saturday morning September 12th: waves around 3ft out of the east with a 10-second period, moderate energy at 304. Water temp is about 78°, average for this time of year. Winds are glassy early, so the surface is clean. Not a firecracker, but a nice warm-up.

Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are borderline flat. Swell drops under 1 feet, and the energy goes weak (84–134). Glassy surfaces but nothing with any push. Drizzle kicks in on Sunday afternoon so factor in the rain.

From Tuesday the 15th off Wednesday the 16th, things tick up. Swell holds around 2 feet from the SSW with periods climbing past 18 seconds—that’s groundswell for ya. Energy comes through moderate at 287–287. Clean glassy winds and the reef will shape those longer period sets nicely.

Thursday 17th is a turning point. Morning pushes 5 feet east swell, short period of 7 seconds and a bit messy, but energy climbs to 499. By afternoon, it flips to a 0.7 foot SSW swell with 16-second intervals—strongest energy yet at 583. Clean glassy crossover winds quality is definitely building.

Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th both shine. Swell of 3–3 feet out of the SSW with 15–17 second periods sees wave energy between 836 and 800. Glassy or cross-off winds top it off. The real standout is Saturday afternoon: 6 feet from the east, period 8 seconds, and very high 269 energy with calm winds seared glass on the water. Crowds are possible here, but at that size with clean conditions and the optimum S swell direction, it’s your day to make the call.

Sunday 20th morning still holds strong energy at 797 with clean cross-off trades, but the afternoon gets a bit crossed up. Monday the 21st springs back: 6 foot east swell, moderate 8-second period, glassy windows both sessions, and energy up around 589. Another sneaky champion window.

After that it’s a slide. Tuesday 22nd to Wednesday 23rd: small waves from 2–2 feet with weak energy below 167. Wednesday morning has light cross-onshore that wrinkles the surface. Still, by afternoon the ocean flattens out again.

Thursday 24th and Friday 25th bring back moderate SSW groundswell, 2 to 4 feet, and 15-second long-period ground energy. Saturday 26th holds that pop with 4 feet of east swell, clean winds, and moderate energy. Sunday 27th eases again but South-Southwest groundswell gives you a few head-high rollers in the afternoon, with good waves.

Best days cluster from Thursday September 17th through Monday September 21st—especially Saturday 19th and Monday 21st. Those two windows combine bigger swell, glassy or calm wind, strong combined energy around 828 and 589, and the direction hits optimum for this spot. Keep an eye on them.

Stay savvy,
