The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for our local stretch.
We're looking at a pretty quiet run for the next 16 days at Droskyn Point. Truth be told, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We've got a solid gap from now until the middle of the month with nothing really worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 to 2 feet, and the energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is down in the double digits, hitting only 19 initially, which is weak. You'd be bobbing around more than surfing.
The first real whisper of something happens on Wednesday, August 12th. The swell picks up to 3 feet from the west, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (125). The wind is offshore from the SE, which is a big plus. It's a strong offshore, so it'll be clean, but it'll be a bit of a battle to get into them. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
The next few days after that are messy again. The wind swings around from the north and north-northwest, putting us in a cross-onshore or onshore flow, making things choppy. The swell stays around 3 to 4 feet through the end of the week. It's just not coming together.
Now, for the real standout. Look towards the end of the forecast. On Friday, August 21st, we get a bit of a window. The afternoon session is the one to have your eye on. We're looking at 5 feet of west swell. The energy is moderate at 191. The wind is out of the SE at 12 mph, which is offshore. That's the key. It'll be a moderate offshore breeze, keeping things clean. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it's a weak windswell, but with that offshore wind grooming it, it'll be the best we've seen. This is the one to circle if you can get out. It's not massive, but it's the only time the stars align.
The following day, Saturday, August 22nd, the swell is a little bigger at 6 feet, but the wind turns onshore from the WNW, which ruins it. That's a shame because the combined energy jumps to 310, but the onshore wind will turn it into a mess.
So, to sum it up: there's a long, quiet spell. The one bright spot is the afternoon of Friday, August 21st. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got.
Rusty.

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.
