The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The surf’s looking pretty good for Davidson Point over the next couple of weeks. Water temp is sitting right around 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year — nothing unusual there.
The first real action kicks off Sunday the 23rd of August. Sunday morning starts with a glassy, clean 5ft from the east, though it’s a short period setup at 7 seconds. That east swell holds through Monday and Tuesday, building nicely. Tuesday the 25th is the standout: morning brings 6ft east swell with clean conditions and a light cross-off breeze, and by afternoon it jumps to 7ft with glassy conditions. The energy is building too — combined energy hits 604 (moderate) Tuesday afternoon. This is the pick of the first week for sure. The east swell is a good match for Davidson Point’s optimum S direction, and the conditions are crisp.
We get a bit of a shift mid-week. Wednesday the 26th sees a solid south groundswell come through — 2ft but with a long 18 second period and glassy conditions in the afternoon. That’s a classic groundswell setup, and the combined energy is strong at 672. That swell continues into Thursday morning with 3ft at 17 seconds and glassy conditions. Absolutely worth a paddle.
After that, the swell drops a bit but remains rideable through the end of August and into early September. There’s a nice window on Tuesday the 1st of September: 3ft south swell at 18 seconds, glassy, combined energy of 667 — very good. Then on Thursday the 3rd of September, we get a bit of a blend: a 3ft south swell in the morning, but by afternoon an east swell of 6ft at 7 seconds with a cross-off breeze. That one’s punchy.
The last real standout is Sunday the 6th of September. It’s a bit further out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. A 4ft east swell with an 11 second period, offshore wind, and combined energy of 880 — that’s solid energy and clean conditions.
Overall, Davidson Point is looking consistent. The best waves are Tuesday the 25th of August and that south groundswell on Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Davidson Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
