Droskyn Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s get into it then. Looking at this stretch ahead, we’ve got a rough first week or so for the lineup here at Droskyn Point. It’s gonna be a test of patience, that’s for sure. The good news is that the ocean isn't broken, it’s just sorting itself out.

The opening run through the rest of this week and into the weekend is pretty grim, to be honest. We’re seeing swell in the 1.2m to 2.2m range, but it’s mostly wrapped around, disorganized, and with short 8 to 11 second periods. The wind is just messy – onshore, cross-onshore, all over the place. It’s lumpy, choppy, and pretty much a write-off. There’s a brief window on Monday with tiny 0.8m surf, but you’d be chasing dribble.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday the 22nd. A clean cross-offshore wind from the ESE sets in, and we start to see some life. The morning is just small, but by Tuesday afternoon it’s still small at 1.2m, but the period is climbing – 16 seconds at a WNW direction. It’s clean, which makes a huge difference for a point like this. This is when the place starts to show its quality, but it’s still pretty weak in terms of push.

Wednesday the 23rd continues that trend with a bit more size. The morning bumps to 1.6m from the WNW with that same clean, cross-off wind from the E. You’d want the low tide to work for you, but it’s looking like the best surf of the first week. After that, the energy backs off again for a couple of days, down to under a meter.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the end of the run. The ESE winds go cross-offshore for a solid stretch, holding the ocean clean from the 25th through the 28th. It’s a beautiful thing to see on the forecast, but the problem is the swell. It’s tiny – a lot of it is under a meter. But on Tuesday the 29th, number two kicks in. We get a pulse of 2.2m from the WSW, and while the period is a short 9 seconds, the wind is clean and offshore from the ESE. That’s worth getting up for.

The real standout of the whole 16-day window is the afternoon of Tuesday the 29th. The swell jumps to 2.5m, the wind is a fresh cross-off, and the energy is jumping into the strong range (1245). That’s the pick of the period. It’s going to be big, likely a bit unruly for the average punter, but for the experts, that’s a session. The guidance says marginal, but for a spot like this with that clean wind and decent size, I’d be looking hard at the tide. After that, it drops off quickly as the week goes on. The 30th and the 1st drop back to clean but tiny, in the 1.1m to 1.5m range with just 7 to 9 second periods.

So, there you have it. You’ve got to pay your dues this week, but there are two real chances to score: the 23rd for some clean, small-to-medium waves, and the 29th for the biggest, cleanest conditions on offer. The 29th is the one to circle, a couple of days out, you’ll want to be checking the tides. Just remember, for the big days, this break can wall up, so keep your wits about you.

Alright, I’m Rusty, get amongst it.
