Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk Davidson Point in feet and miles per hour.

Got a nice run of clean little to medium groundswell coming through on this reef. Water temp is about normal for the time of year at 78°F, so nothing freaky there.

The 3rd of July kicks it off, but it's a slow start. Friday afternoon has a glassy 2ft SSW groundswell with a proper long 17-second period, but the energy's a bit weak. Small and inconsistent.

Now, Saturday the 4th, that's where you want to be. Swell bumps to 2ft from the south, and the period stretches out to a thumping 21-seconds. The energy is building real nice, and we've got clean conditions with light cross-off air. That long-period groundswell on a reef like this is a thing of beauty – lined-up walls, no closeouts. With crowds only *sometimes* a hassle, this is a clear winner.

Sunday the 5th is just as good. Offshore breeze, clean 3ft SSW swell with 18-second period. Another day to circle in red.

Monday the 6th pushes the energy higher, but the period drops to 16 seconds. Still great, but the weekend was the peak.

From Tuesday the 7th through the 11th, we get a shift to a short-period east windswell (8 seconds). The size is bigger, hitting 4 to 6ft, and it's often glassy, but the quality just isn't there for the reef's best direction. It's a bit of a lull.

Then, from the 12th to the 16th of July, a second pulse of long-period westerly groundswell shows up. Swell sizes are smaller, around 2ft to 3ft, but those periods are back in the 15 to 17-second range. The energy is solid for the size, and the wind is often dead calm or glassy. On a reef, this is small-wave heaven. Thursday the 16th morning with that 2ft westerly and glassy conditions is a hidden gem.

The real standout here is Davidson Point on Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th. That long-period south swell with clean wind is as good as it gets for this spot.
