Douglas Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Things are gonna get real interesting, but we gotta be patient.

The first real swell we see is on Monday the 7th, but it's a write-off from the get-go. That wind is howlin' onshore and the waves are messy. No good at all.

Now, Tuesday the 8th? That's where the story starts. A proper 12 ft SW groundswell (7595 energy) arrives with light offshore winds in the morning. Douglas Point is gonna be absolutely pumpin'. This is serious, powerful swell with a 17-second period. For the experienced crew, this is your window. The water temp is about 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. It won't be a beginner's wave, it'll be too big, but if you've got the skills, get amongst it.

Wednesday the 9th is a massive, but dangerous day. The swell blows up to 20 ft and 21 ft, with energy readings over 25,000. That's a monster. The wind is onshore, so it's not goin' to be clean, but honestly, at that size, it's just for the absolute die-hard experts. Most of us will be watchin' from the cliff.

The swell drops back a bit for Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, but the wind stays awkward. It's big, it's a bit messy, not the best.

Now, look here. Saturday the 12th is a gem. The swell drops to a manageable 10 ft, still a solid SW groundswell, but the wind goes offshore and light. The energy is still strong (4135), and it will be clean. This is a real standout for experienced surfers.

Sunday the 13th is still clean with offshore winds, but the swell is droppin' fast. Nice, but not the peak.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. Monday the 14th has a weak, short-period W windswell, and the wind is all over the place. Not worth gettin' excited about.

Tuesday the 15th sees a new SW pulse building, but it's onshore. The energy is back up, but the conditions are messy.

Now, the real gem of the second week. Wednesday the 16th of September. Look at this. A 16 ft SW groundswell (11,620 energy) with glassy conditions. Absolutely glassy. That is a dream scenario for the experts. If you can get the day off, this is the one. It's a long way off, so the forecast could change, but the signs are incredible.

The 17th and 18th clean up with offshore winds again, but the swell is smaller.

We get another massive pulse on Saturday the 19th, but it's 20 ft again. Too big for most, and the wind is cross-on. It's a beast, but not a surfer's beast.

The final week sees a few more solid pulses, but the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, makin' it a bit of a battle. The 21st and 22nd are interesting, but the wind is a worry.

For the best on offer, I'm callin' it: Tuesday the 8th morning for the first big pulse, and then Wednesday the 16th morning for the absolute standout. Glassy, 16 ft, and a long period. That's the one to circle on the calendar. The rest of the time, it's a game of pickin' the right window.

Rusty.
