The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Drummond Point over the next couple of weeks.
The water's sitting at 59°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but things build into a solid run of surf. The first couple of days are a write-off, with Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd seeing onshore slop and messy conditions. Not worth paddling out for.
The real action kicks off on Tuesday the 4th. Tuesday morning brings clean 4 ft waves from the WSW with a cross-offshore breeze, and then Tuesday afternoon is the absolute standout for this first week – glassy conditions, 4 ft of smooth WSW swell, and the energy is moderate (668). This is as good as it gets for a clean, cruisy session.
Wednesday the 5th drops right off, with tiny 2 ft to 3 ft waves and cross-shore winds making it marginal. Thursday the 6th is a better bet in the morning with clean 3 ft surf, but the swell is weak. Friday the 7th sees a jump back to 6 ft, but the wind is fresh and the conditions are cross-off, so it's clean but a bit lumpy. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a complete mess with strong onshore winds and building swell up to 8 ft – that's expert-only territory and the wind will make it a battle.
Looking into the second week, there's a promising run starting around Tuesday the 11th. Tuesday morning has 7 ft of clean, cross-off surf with strong energy (2667) – that's a proper session. But the real standout of the whole window is Friday the 14th morning. The swell is 8 ft from the WSW, with a light cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions, and the energy is pumping (2060). It's listed as excellent for experienced surfers, and with that size and period, it's only for the crew who know what they're doing. Saturday the 15th morning is also excellent, with 7 ft and clean cross-off winds, while Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th mornings are both glassy or clean with solid 6 ft to 6 ft swell. Those last few days are the real highlight.
So, the best of the best? Lock in Tuesday the 4th afternoon for the glassy, clean smaller stuff, and then Friday the 14th morning for the bigger, more powerful session. The wind will be your friend on those days.
Rusty.

Information about the Drummond Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Drummond Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Drummond Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Drummond 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 (Drummond 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 Drummond 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.
