Drummond Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Drummond Point over the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a real dry spell on the cards. From now until the end of July, the wind is just all wrong, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is messy. There’s a small window of hope hiding way out there, but you’re gonna have to be patient.

The first real sniff of anything decent shows up on Thursday, July 30th. The morning looks like the pick of the whole forecast, to be honest. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW, and the wind is swinging around to the NNE at 12 mph, which is a cross-offshore breeze. That’s gonna clean things right up. The combined energy is moderate at 936, and with a 15-second period, there’s some proper groundswell in the water. Drummond Point is a beach, reef, and point setup, so that long period stuff should wrap in nicely. It’s the one standout – a clean, glassy session if you can get out there before the wind shifts. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

Now, the afternoon of the 30th looks half-decent too, with a light 6 mph NNW breeze and a 5ft swell, but that morning window is the one to chase.

After that, hold onto your board. The end of the first week of August gets blown out completely. By Saturday, August 1st, the swell pushes up to 7ft from the WSW, but the wind is howling from the north at 25 mph. That’s just messy. The energy is strong (2475), but it’s a kiter’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s. The same goes for Sunday, the 2nd, with 7ft swell and strong SSW winds.

So, the plan is simple: wait for the morning of Thursday, July 30th, at Drummond Point. It’s the only real highlight in a long, quiet stretch. The rest is either too small, too windy, or just plain ugly. Hopefully, the forecasts tighten up, because a dry run like this stings.

Rusty.
