The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Drummond Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a mixed bag ahead, with a couple of real standout windows for the experienced crew. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first solid action kicks off on Wednesday, September 16. The morning is the pick. We’re looking at a clean 6ft groundswell from the WSW with a period of 15 seconds, and the wind is blowing offshore from the ESE. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (1292), and those long-period lines will hold up nicely on the reef and point here. Expect clean, well-shaped waves with plenty of push.
The following Monday, September 21, is another one to circle. The morning session sees a clean 6ft WSW swell at 14 seconds, with light offshore winds from the NE. Again, this is excellent for the experienced surfer, with strong energy (1139) and clean conditions.
Later in the run, Thursday, September 24, brings some hope. Both morning and afternoon look good with a clean 4ft WSW groundswell, offshore ESE winds in the morning and offshore E winds in the afternoon. The energy is moderate (681 and 582), but the conditions will be clean, and the break will be working.
And then on Monday, September 28, we get another morning window. Gentle offshore winds from the E with a 4ft WSW swell at 15 seconds. Energy is moderate (786), but the clean, offshore conditions will make it very worthwhile.
Outside of those windows, there’s a lot of average to poor conditions. The wind swings around a lot, and we get plenty of choppy, lumpy days. From late September 26 right through the 27th, we get a strong onshore mess with solid swell but no quality. That swell on the 27th gets up to 7ft from the WSW with strong energy (2915), but the strong cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions mean it’s only for the die-hard, and honestly, it’s more of a kitesurfing setup. After that, the swell fades into the end of the month with smaller, wind-affected waves.
So, the standout is Wednesday, September 16, and Monday, September 21. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.
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.
