The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Droskyn Point.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Friday the 24th, there’s barely a wave worth paddling for. The swell is mostly under 2ft, periods are short, and the energy is weak – you’re looking at figures like 70 and 32 in the combined energy, which is very low. The wind is cross-off or cross-on most of the time, but the swell just isn’t there. It’s the sort of period where you’d be better off checking the forecast again later.
Now, there is a little glimmer right at the very end of the outlook. Saturday the 25th of July morning has a bit of life. The swell is 3ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds – not a groundswell, but it’s something. The wind is light and offshore from the ESE, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is a moderate 105, which is a step up. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best of a poor bunch. The water temperature is about 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4°F above average, so you won’t need a thick suit.
Then Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th see a bit more size, but the wind swings southerly and picks up, making things messy. By Monday afternoon the swell hits 7ft from the west, and the energy jumps to 702 – that’s strong. But it’s blown out by a fresh breeze from the south, and the conditions are only marginal. That’s one for the experts only, if anyone’s mad enough.
So, bottom line: nothing worth getting excited about for the first ten days, and then a couple of average to messy days at the end. It’s a quiet run, but it won’t stay this way forever. Forecasts can change.

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.
