Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles for you.
We’re looking at Douglas Point, a reef setup that needs a proper SSW swell. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. The forecast starts off slow. Saturday the 4th has 12-foot SW swell but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, rubbish.
Sunday the 5th sees a 16-foot SSW groundswell with a 17-second period – huge energy (13885). Only for experts, over 8 feet. Cross-shore wind at 12 mph messes it up a bit though.
Monday the 6th morning is cleaner with cross-offshore wind at 12 mph, 8-foot swells, 14-second period. But the afternoon is a standout: light offshore north wind at 6 mph, 7-foot swell, 14-second period, clean. Excellent for experienced riders. Tuesday the 7th morning holds similar form.
The big one is Wednesday the 8th morning: 13-foot SW swell, 18-second period, light NE cross-offshore wind at 6 mph, and massive energy (8855). This is for experts only. Clean and heavy.
Thursday the 9th morning goes glassy with 5 mph NE wind, 8-foot swell, 15-second period. Friday the 10th has offshore north wind all day at 9 mph, 8-foot swells, clean.
Saturday the 11th is blown out by 25 mph north wind, and Sunday the 12th is a mess with 25 mph west wind and big, messy swell. Monday the 13th is survival: 26-foot swell, 15-second period, too big even for experts, cross-shore wind.
Tuesday the 14th is still big (13-15 feet) with cross-shore winds. Wednesday and Thursday get onshore breezes.
By Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th, we’re back to cleaner conditions: 7-8-foot swells, 13-16 second periods, and light offshore winds. Excellent for experienced surfers.
Best session of the whole run is Wednesday 8th July morning – 13-foot SW groundswell, 18-second period, light cross-offshore wind. For a more manageable standout, Monday 6th afternoon and Friday 10th deliver clean, 7-8 foot swells with offshore wind. Crowds are possible at Douglas but not always.

Information about the Douglas Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Douglas Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Douglas Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Douglas 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 (Douglas 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 Douglas 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.
