Davidson Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let's talk about Davidson Point. This reef break is your main option for the next couple of weeks, and it's got a decent mix of days coming through. The pattern is a stretch of east swell with mostly light winds, so plenty of clean windows. The water temp's about average for this time of year – nothing wild. Now, the optimum swell direction here is from the south, but we're seeing a lot of east energy, which still works – just not with quite the same bite. Keep that in mind.

We kick off Tuesday July 7th with some early action: 6ft east swell, period short at 8 seconds, but cross-off wind from the ENE at 6 mph keeps things clean. Moderate energy (853) – a good start to the morning. That afternoon drops a touch but still fun at 6ft, same wind. Wednesday July 8th morning is a real treat – glassy conditions, 6ft east swell, light ESE breeze. That's a clean, lined-up reef session. Energy's moderate (547). The afternoon switches to a smaller 2ft south groundswell with a longer 13-second period – better shape, but small.

Thursday July 9th through Friday July 10th sees consistent 5-6ft east swell with short period (7 seconds) and light cross-off or glassy winds. Wave energy stays moderate (320-487). Not mind-blowing, but solid for a paddle. Saturday July 11th morning is tiny (2ft SW, 18s) but the afternoon picks up with 6ft east, offshore NE breeze – that's proper. Sunday July 12th has a glassy morning with 2ft SW groundswell (16s) – almost 500 energy, but small. Next week opens strong: Monday July 13th morning glassy again with 6ft east (8s), energy 617 – very good. Tuesday July 14th morning is absolutely dead calm – NW wind 0 mph, glassy, 5ft east. That's a dream session if you can get out. Energy still solid (565).

Now, the real standout hits on Saturday July 18th – morning glassy conditions with 7ft east swell, period 8 seconds, energy 582. The afternoon stays glassy, 7ft east, energy 761. That's proper reef swell, clean as a whistle. And then Sunday July 19th morning – this is the pick of the whole run: glassy, 6ft east swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 1031 – strong, powerful waves. This one's for experienced surfers; it'll be a bit much for beginners with that size and energy. The crowd factor? "Sometimes" here, so you might have company, but on a morning like that it's worth sharing.

After that, Monday July 20th still has glassy conditions but smaller (3ft S, 14s). Tuesday July 21st is marginal by afternoon – light cross-shore wind, small swell. Wednesday July 22nd also marginal. So the last few days fade out.

Overall, the best windows are the glassy mornings from July 13th through 19th, with July 18th and 19th being the absolute standouts. Get on it.
