Droskyn Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Droskyn Point.

Truth be told, the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag and it’ll take a bit of patience. The first ten days or so are mostly a write-off for anything decent. We’ve got a whole heap of poor conditions with messy winds, lumpy cross-chop, and onshore breezes making a mess of things. The swell energy is moderate for much of that early period, with readings around 160 to 402, but the wind just isn’t playing ball. You’d be better off doing something else.

There’s a glimmer very early on Saturday the 5th though. The morning session shows some glassy conditions with light easterly winds of just 3 mph and a 4 ft groundswell rolling in from the west with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 228, which is moderate, but that glassy surface is rare and it’ll be clean. It’s still only a 1 out of 10 in terms of quality, so call it a small, tidy window for a longboard or a fun log. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-on breeze, so grab that morning if you’re keen.

From the 6th, it goes quiet again with small, weak waves and a lot of moderate offshore winds, which is clean but just not enough size. The water temp is about average for early September, so nothing to shock the system.

Now, hold on for the second week. Things get more interesting from Monday the 14th. The afternoon shows a 4 ft swell from the west, but it’s a long-period groundswell of 12 seconds, which Droskyn loves. The combined energy jumps to 400 and the winds go clean and cross-off from the east at 9 mph. That’s the standout to circle. It’s a little way out, so call it promising, but it looks like the best chance for a proper session with clean lines.

Before that, the morning of Friday the 11th has a 6 ft west swell with only 3 mph winds, but it’s onshore, so expect some bump. The afternoons around the 8th and 9th push up to 8 ft but with moderate to strong cross-off breezes. That’s getting into expert-only territory with some serious energy (over 1000), and the wind will be clean, but you’ll want to be on your game for that.

For the bulk of the time, it’s a waiting game. The first week is a right-off for the most part, but that Saturday morning glass-off and the Monday the 14th session are your two real windows. Don’t hold your breath for much else.

Rusty.
