The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Drummond Point over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell arriving, but the wind is just not playing ball. Friday the 24th kicks off with a WSW swell at 5ft and a period of 15 seconds, which is a decent, long-period groundswell, but the southwesterly cross-on breeze is just ruining it. The water’s sitting at 59°, which is about average for this time of year. The energy is strong at 1110, but it’s not translating to clean waves. It’s a bit of a frustrating start.
Saturday and Sunday stay messy too, with onshore winds and rain. There’s a brief window on Sunday morning where a light NNE cross-off breeze cleans up the 3ft swell, but it’s small and the window is tiny. Monday and Tuesday are blown out by strong winds, so don’t even bother.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Wednesday morning, July 29th. The forecast is calling for “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers,” and I can see why. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the WSW with a 15-second period – that’s serious power, with a combined energy reading of 1516. The wind is a light SSE cross-off, which means it’ll be clean. This is a point and reef setup, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. It’s a big day though, over 5ft, so it’s not for the groms or beginners. The crowds can be *sometimes* an issue here, but on a Wednesday, you might get lucky.
After that, we get a small clean-up on Thursday the 30th with a little 4ft swell and offshore easterly winds. Nice, but small. Then the second week of the forecast gets a bit wild. The period from August 1st to the 2nd is a write-off with strong onshore winds, but then Monday, August 3rd, looks like another cracker. That’s 11 days out, so it’s a long-range promise, but it’s a big one. We’re looking at a 7ft groundswell from the WSW with a 18-second period and light NNE cross-off winds. That’s a very long period, which will be best on this point and reef setup, and the energy is massive at 2981. Again, this is over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experts. The rest of the first week of August is a mix of smaller, onshore mess, so that Monday morning is the only real target.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a painful wait for Wednesday morning. The second week has a real gem on Monday, August 3rd, but it’s a long way off and only for the pros. Keep your eyes on the charts.
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.
