Droskyn Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, it’s a tough stretch ahead. Right through until the middle of the second week, the surf at Droskyn Point is pretty disappointing. We’ve got a long run of poor surf conditions starting from Friday the 14th all the way through to Tuesday the 25th, with most days seeing weak, choppy, or onshore winds messing things up. The swell hangs around the 2 ft to 4 ft mark, but the wind’s often from the NW or WNW, keeping things bumpy and uninviting. Not much energy in the water either – the combined swell energy is mostly below 150, so you’re looking at weak, messy waves.

There’s a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 26th. The morning stays small but clean with a light offshore from the SE and a 3 ft WNW swell at 5 seconds. The real standout comes Wednesday afternoon: the wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, with a 4 ft swell from the west at 6 seconds and combined energy of 110. It’s still ordinary, but that glassy clean surface makes it the best chance all fortnight for a quiet, smooth session. Expect small, weak waves, but at least you won’t be fighting the wind.

Then onto Thursday the 27th, we finally see some juice. A fresh SE offshore breeze (18 mph) and a 5 ft west swell at 9 seconds bring combined energy right up to 372 – that’s moderate to strong energy for the first time. The swell is getting bigger, and that offshore wind will tidy things up nicely. If you’re an experienced surfer, this is the one to aim for: clean, punchy waves, but the size means it’s not one for beginners. It looks like the best day on offer, with confident conditions for mid-morning through the afternoon. Crowds are often around at Droskyn Point, so expect company if the forecast holds.

The rest of the second week fades back into small, wind-affected slop, so if I were you, I’d set my sights on the 26th for a glassy solo session or the 27th for some proper offshore waves.

Water temperature here is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about.

Rusty.
