The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over everything for Droskyn Point. It’s a straight-up tough stretch ahead, to be honest. The swell energy barely gets a look-in, and when it does, the wind just messes it up. Over the next few days, we’re dealing with tiny, weak surf. Combined energy values barely scrape past 100 (109m on Tuesday morning, 120m Tuesday afternoon, and the biggest pulse is 270m on Wednesday morning), but those are all blown out by onshore and cross-shore winds. Wednesday’s got a 6ft swell, but it’s short-period (7 seconds) and getting hammered by a 16 mph onshore breeze – that’s a messy, lumpy close-out, not proper surfing.
For this whole 16-day run, there really isn’t a standout session. Even the biggest energy day (270m on Wednesday 5 August) is ruined by wind. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile from Sunday 2 August through to about Monday 10 August. On Monday 10 August morning, we get a clean 3ft swell from the WNW with a light 6 mph onshore breeze – that’s maybe the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still just a 6-second period and only 78m energy. Nothing pumps.
The rest of the second week is more of the same: tiny waves (1ft to 2ft) with onshore wind. The only clean window is Sunday 16 August morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just 2ft from the north with a 5-second period – barely a ripple at 36m energy.
Bottom line: the setup at Droskyn Point is poor for paddle surfing through this whole window. If there’s any swell, the wind is against it. Hang up the board for a bit, or if you’re really keen on getting wet, this might be more of a kite-surfing situation when the wind is up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.

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