The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, running it down in feet and miles for you. Davidson Point's a reef, and we’ve got a good stretch of waves on the way. Water temp is 27°, right where it should be for this time of year.
We’re straight into it on Saturday the 29th: a clean 2-3ft South swell. Light offshore in the morning, small but fun. The real standout early on is Sunday the 30th. Solid 5-6ft East swell rolls in. It’s short period (7 seconds) but consistent, and with light cross-offshore winds it’s gonna be clean and rippable for intermediates all day.
Monday the 31st holds that same 5-6ft East swell, and the morning turns totally glassy. Lovely. Tuesday the 1st of September backs down to 2-3ft, but the direction swings to the South with a long 18-second period groundswell. The energy’s still there (366), and it's dead calm – a dream setup for a reef.
The big red circle on the calendar is Saturday the 10th of September. We’re talking a powerful 7-8ft East swell, bumping to nearly 8ft in the afternoon. The wave energy numbers are through the roof (1328 and 1513). With light, glassy winds in the morning and staying clean, this is expert-only territory. That's the one.
Things go downhill from the 11th. Strong winds building to 30+ mph, then a howling near-gale by afternoon with rain. The start of the next week looks rough with onshore winds and lumpy, stormy surf.
But that 10th of September? It’s the one to get after.
Rusty.

Information about the Davidson Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Davidson Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Davidson Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Davidson Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Davidson Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
