Table - best surf conditions forecast for Drummond Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's going on at Drummond Point for the next two weeks.
Honestly, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – this forecast is a tough one. For the first several days, the wind is just a nightmare, wrecking any chance of a decent session. The swell energy is moderate to strong (699 to 1778), but with the wind howling, it's all just lumpy, choppy, and dirty.
You're looking at a big gap of poor conditions. From Friday, the 10th, right through to the 14th, every session is a write-off. Strong onshore and cross-onshore winds, messy chop... it's a no-go for a paddle surfer. The swell on the 11th and 12th gets up around 8 feet to 8 feet, but it's all blown out, and that 8-foot stuff is really only for the experts, but the wind still makes it impossible.
The first real chance we get is Wednesday morning, the 15th of July. The wind switches to a light cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and the surf cleans right up. We're looking at a clean 5-foot swell from the WSW with a long 15-second period – that's real groundswell, meaning proper shape and energy. The water temperature is 60°, which is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (1167), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That's your standout. The morning of the 15th is the one to mark on the calendar.
The 16th looks okay, but smaller, with a 4-foot clean swell and a good period, but it's not the same punch. Then we get another stretch of slop from the 17th through the 22nd, with strong winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell gets big again late in the window, hitting 8 feet on the 20th, but the wind is straight onshore, so it's a kiting setup, not a surfing one.
The final possibility is on Thursday, the 23rd of July. The morning looks very clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph, and a 4-foot groundswell from the WSW. The afternoon even turns glassy. But the swell is small, and it's a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
So, to wrap it up: Wednesday morning, the 15th of July, is your best bet. The rest of the window is mostly a right-off, with just a few small, clean windows worth checking. Stay tuned, forecasts can change.
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.
