The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Drummond Point over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start – Tuesday morning is pretty poor, with a messy 7.2ft cross-on swell (combined energy 2445) and water temp around 59.5°F, which is about average for July, nothing weird. The afternoon cleans up a little but it’s still marginal.
Then Wednesday the 15th is where it gets interesting. Wednesday morning already looks clean with a nice 4.9ft WSW groundswell (970 combined energy) and a cross-off breeze. But the real standout is Wednesday afternoon – it goes glassy, just 3 mph from the SW, and the swell drops a touch to 4.6ft but still holding 14 seconds from the WSW. That’s going to be super clean, long lines, and perfect for an intermediate session. Combined energy sits at 789, so moderate but plenty of push.
Thursday and Friday stay in the same vein – Thursday morning is clean with 4.6ft and a cross-off, Friday afternoon goes glassy again with 3.9ft and 16 seconds (677 combined energy). That’s solid too, if you can sneak out. Saturday drops off a bit, and then Sunday through Monday gets blown out and messy – strong winds, choppy conditions, not worth it.
Now, there’s a gap of a few days with poor surf until Tuesday the 21st. That morning turns glassy again – calm winds, 3.6ft WSW swell at 13 seconds (566 combined energy). A really nice window, but it’s a one-off; the afternoon goes onshore. After that, we’re into a long stretch of weak, wind-affected waves until Wednesday the 29th. That morning looks promising – glassy 3.9ft groundswell at 13 seconds (531 combined energy) – but that’s almost two weeks out, so don’t bank on it yet.
Overall, the pick of the next 16 days is definitely Wednesday the 15th afternoon – glassy, clean, and a

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.
