The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty solid pulse of energy on the way. The first session to look at is Wednesday the 15th. Drummond Point is waking up with a clean 5 ft swell from the WSW, with a long 15-second period pushing a strong 970 combined energy. The morning is glassy with a light NE cross-off, and the water is sitting at 59.7°, which is just about normal for this time of year. This is the best on offer right now—expect very good surf conditions with clean, well-shaped lines. The afternoon goes even better, with a glassy, 5 km/h W wind and a 4.6 ft swell. Thursday the 16th still has some size, 4.6 ft, but the wind gets a bit more fiddly, and Friday the 17th sees a gradual drop.
After that, we hit a rough patch. From Saturday the 18th through to the 22nd, the surf gets small and messy, with a lot of cross-shore and onshore winds making things choppy. There’s no real recommendation in that stretch—poor conditions dominate.
Now, hang on for the real standout. Friday the 24th of July. This is the one to circle. Drummond Point will see a solid 6.9 ft groundswell from the WSW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a thumping 2269. The wind? Clean offshore from the ESE at just 5 km/h. That’s a recipe for excellent, powerful surf, but at 6.9 ft, this is only for experienced surfers—this is not a beginner wave. Best session of the whole outlook, hands down.
The 25th and 26th of July hang on with dropping but still fun 4.6 ft to 3.3 ft waves, with lighter winds and cleaner conditions. After that, it’s back to small, blown-out stuff from the 27th through the 30th, with strong onshore winds and poor quality.
The standout: Wednesday the 15th for a clean, easy-going session, and Friday the 24th for the big, clean, expert-level groundswell.

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.
