Droskyn Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. I'll level with you straight up: it's a tough stretch ahead for Droskyn Point. We've got a lot of days with poor conditions and not much to get excited about.

The water’s sitting at a balmy 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—a nice little bonus if you’re in a wetsuit.

We kick off Tuesday afternoon with a tiny little nothing of a swell, 2ft out of the west. There’s a bit of offshore wind, but the combined energy is weak (88), and the rain showers will have you wondering why you bothered. This sets the tone.

For the rest of this week and into next, it’s a real grind. Wednesday through Friday we’re looking at tiny, weak swell with wonky, cross-shore winds that just mess up the face. Nothing clean, nothing with any push. The combined energy barely scrapes into three digits a few times.

Saturday the 29th sees the swell start to show a bit of size, 6ft to 7ft from the west-southwest, but it’s a messy lump. The wind is honking cross-shore at 19 to 28 mph, and the combined energy is up there (325 to 619), but it’s junk. That kind of setup at a point break is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, honestly.

Sunday the 30th offers a slight glimpse of hope: 5ft from the west with a cross-offshore breeze, and the morning looks clean. It’s still not great, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a week. That clean window is your only real chance to get wet before the wind gets messy again in the afternoon.

Then we hit another flat, messy wall. Monday the 31st has onshore wind. Tuesday the 1st of September is fresh and lumpy. The whole first week of September is a write-off, with onshore and cross-shore winds, messy chop, and a series of building but blown-out swells.

Hold on, though. On Friday the 4th of September, there's a flicker of something real. The morning brings 6ft from the west-northwest with a longer period of 11 seconds and a clean cross-offshore breeze. It's the first time we see a combined energy reading in the 800s (829) and the wave comment isn't a total disaster. That's the standout window in the whole 16 days. It’s not a classic, but compared to the rest, it’s the only one worth circling on your calendar. The rest of that day and the weekend after get messy again, and the following week looks like it’s back to big, blown-out slop with onshore winds.

So, there you go. A long, blank run of poor conditions, but a single morning on Friday the 4th of September might just save your sanity. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, this is a waiting game.
