Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Over the next couple of weeks at Drummond Point, we've got a mixed bag – some real sweetness and some rough patches. Starting off Friday, July 3, it's a write-off: cloudy, a cross-on SW wind at 16 mph, and a bumpy 7.9 ft of messy WSW swell with heaps of energy (2593) but poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday, July 4 turns it around nicely. Morning sees a light ESE cross-off breeze, waves dropping to clean 4.6 ft from the WSW, 14-second period, and moderate energy (765). That's a solid session for intermediates – clean and fun. Sunday, July 5 morning is still decent, but the real standout is Sunday afternoon: an offshore ENE breeze at 9 mph, a long-period 5.2 ft groundswell from the WSW at 17 seconds, with energy pumping (1230). This is excellent for experienced surfers – one of the best windows in the whole outlook.
Tuesday, July 7 afternoon goes glassy – zero wind, 3.9 ft of WSW groundswell at 15 seconds, energy 674. Super clean, and with crowds only sometimes, you might have it all to yourself. Then Wednesday, July 8 brings another standout: morning sees a solid 5.9 ft from the WSW, 17-second period, cross-off NE breeze at 9 mph, energy 1929. Excellent for experienced crew – powerful, clean, and consistent.
After that, it gets rough. The weekend of July 10–11 gets blown out with strong winds and choppy surf – best to stay on land. There’s a small recovery on Saturday, July 18 afternoon with glassy 2.6 ft from the WSW, 16-second period – a calm, clean finish to the period. Water temp sits around 60°F, about average for the season. So mark your calendar: Sunday, July 5 afternoon and Wednesday, July 8 – those are the best waves on offer.

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.
