The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Droskyn Point. We’ve got a long, flat spell to kick things off and the whole 16-day window is looking like a write-off. There’s no real stand-out session, and I’d be hard-pressed to even call anything a recommendation. The first few days are a total bust, with nothing but tiny, onshore junk. The first glimmer of anything surfable pops up on Thursday morning, the 23rd, but even then it’s just a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short-period, weak stuff with a combined energy of only 67. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but it’s barely a ripple. That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s saying something.
After that, we slide back into a long dry spell of nothing from the 24th right through to the end of July. There’s a notable bump in size on Sunday the 26th with a 7ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph onshore, and the combined energy jumps to 585. That’s a lot of power, but with those winds, it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. Too big for beginners, too rough for anyone else. That’s strictly for the experts, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty.
The first week of August offers a little more hope, but still nothing to write home about. The swell stays small, around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, keeping things reasonably clean. The most promising blip is Tuesday morning the 4th of August. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the W with an 8-second period, and a cross-off wind from the SW at 16 mph. The combined energy is 128 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. It’s still small, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable wave in the whole outlook. Not a standout, just the best of a bad lot.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, bottom line: don’t get your hopes up. The blank run is long and the few small windows are just barely worth a paddle. If you’re desperate, Thursday morning the 23rd or Tuesday morning the 4th of August are your best bets. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

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.
