The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at a pretty grim start, if I'm being honest. For the first few days, from Friday the 11th right through to the end of the weekend on Sunday the 14th, it's a write-off. We've got a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds bullying everything up, making for nothing but poor, choppy conditions. There's energy in the water – Sunday morning shows a combined energy of 501 – but it's all windslop and no good. That's a solid four-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Things start to look a little more promising as we get into Monday the 14th morning. Droskyn Point sees a drop in the wind, going light and cross-off, and the water cleans right up. Swell is only around 3ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds, so it's small, but the conditions are "clean" for the first time. It's a gentle session, not a standout, but you could get a few if you’re desperate.
The next few days through the middle of the week are messy again. Tuesday the 15th gets blown out by a fresh onshore breeze, lumping up a 5ft to 8ft swell.
Now, hold on to your board. The first real standout, and I mean a proper window, looks like Wednesday the 23rd of September. Early morning it's dead glassy at Droskyn Point – absolutely flat calm wind – and the swell is a solid 7ft from the west, with a combined energy of 518. That's a legit clean, punchy wave. It's getting up there in size, so it might be too much for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that's the session to circle on the calendar.
And if you're looking for the big one, Friday the 25th of September is looking like the best of the whole run. The swell is holding a powerful 10ft from the west with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps up to 1285. The wind is a light offshore cross-off, meaning the face should be clean and the waves will have some proper push. That's big, expert territory at 10ft, so don't even think about it if you're not confident. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
To sum it up: The first week is mostly a wind-blown mess. Push through the misery and the real action kicks off on Wednesday the 23rd, with Friday the 25th being the undoubted standout. It's a long-range call, so it's promising but not a guarantee, but boy, if it lines up...
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Droskyn Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
