The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be real about Droskyn Point.
Look, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for Droskyn Point. The wind is all over the place, mostly from the west or southwest, and it's blowing hard. We're looking at lumpy, messy, cross-shore slop for the most part, with a few clean windows but still not much to get excited about. The swell is there, but it's short-period, wind-driven stuff, not the clean groundswell we want. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in the second week. On Saturday, September 5th, the afternoon session finally shows a bit of life. We've got a light offshore breeze from the ESE, which is perfect for Droskyn, and the swell is a clean 6ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. That's a nice, long period groundswell that will wrap around the point nicely. The combined energy is moderate at 540. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and lined up. This is the standout of the entire forecast window.
The rest of that weekend and into the next week is a return to form with onshore winds and messy conditions. There's a couple of clean windows on the 9th and 10th, but the swell drops right off to nothing (2ft to 0.7ft), so it's a flat spell.
So, to wrap it up: the first 12 days are a struggle. The one true highlight is Saturday afternoon, September 5th at Droskyn Point. A 6ft west swell, light offshore ESE wind, and a 10-second period. Keep your eyes on that window. Forecasts can change, but that's the one to pencil in. After that, it's a long dry spell. Don't hold your breath.
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.
