The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s looking.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for surf here at Droskyn Point. We’ve got a long, slow start with nothing worth paddling out for until we hit that Monday the 21st. The first full week is pretty much a write-off. There’s swell around, but the conditions just aren’t coming together. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only silver lining.
We get a bit of a pulse from the west on the 15th and 16th, with wave heights around 6ft to 6ft, and some decent energy (451 to 877), but the wind is howling from the west-northwest at 19 mph, making it blown out and ugly. The period on the 16th jumps to 11 seconds, which hints at some groundswell, but with that wind, you’re just looking at a mess.
Thursday the 17th sees the swell push to 7ft, but again, it’s onshore wind and short 8-second period. That kind of size and short period means it’s going to be a bumpy, closed-out mess. Not beginner friendly, and not much fun for anyone.
The only real bright spot comes in the second week. On Monday morning the 21st, we finally get a window. The swell drops to 3ft from the west-northwest, but the period stretches out to a nice 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (295), and with a light southerly breeze at 6 mph giving us cross-offshore conditions, it’ll be clean and glassy. This is your best bet of the whole outlook. Droskyn Point handles that west-northwest swell well, and with the longer period, expect some nicely shaped waves, though the sets will be a bit spaced out.
After that, it gets small and inconsistent. A couple of days in the mix, but nothing that stands out. By the 26th, we get a strong offshore from the east-southeast at 22 mph, but the swell drops to just 2ft, so it’s all wind and no wave.
So, to sum it up: sit tight through the first week. The only session worth chasing is Monday morning the 21st. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and lined up. After that, keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
