Drummond Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Morning crew, Rusty here. We’re looking at Drummond Point, and the surf’s got a bit of a story to tell over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, today the 15th, there’s swell in the water—around 6ft of WSW at a 15-second period, with moderate energy at 1337. But the wind’s a cross-off from the SSE at 19 mph, keeping it clean enough, yet it’s still marginal—tide’s messing with things. Water temp’s sitting at 60°, which is about average for this time of year.

Wednesday the 16th looks a bit better—swell holds at 6ft, period 15 seconds, and the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, good for experienced surfers. Thursday the 17th drops off—swell down to 4ft, period 14 seconds, and the morning’s got a NE cross-off at 12 mph, but it’s weaker. Not much push.

Then we hit a dead zone—from Thursday afternoon through the weekend, it’s just small and messy. Swell drops to 3ft by Friday, and the wind’s all over the place, cross-shore and lumpy. Not worth the paddle. That’s a few days of nothing, so don’t plan around it.

Things start to come alive again on Monday the 21st—swell bumps to 4ft, period 13 seconds, and the wind is light from the SE at just 3 mph. Glassy conditions, very clean. But the real standout is Tuesday the 22nd morning: 5ft of WSW at 15 seconds, with a light ENE cross-off at 6 mph. Clean lines, good energy at 1110—this is the best of the first week, no question.

After that, it dips again—Wednesday and Thursday are small, though Thursday afternoon gets glassy with an S at 3 mph, but only 3ft of swell. Fun for a log, not much else.

Now, the big one is Saturday the 26th. We’ve got 8ft of WSW, period 19 seconds, and energy jumps to a strong 5307. That’s proper groundswell. The wind’s cross-off from the SSE at 22 mph, so it’s clean but pumping. This is expert-only territory—way too big for beginners, and even solid surfers need to respect it. The long period means it’ll be walled at the beach, but the point and reef sections will handle it better. Paddling out will be easier between sets, but the power’s intense.

Sunday the 27th drops to 6ft, still WSW, period 16 seconds, but the afternoon wind gets messy—S at 22 mph, lumpy. Monday the 28th is similar, 5ft but cross-chop in the afternoon. Tuesday the 29th morning is another clean window—5ft, 16 seconds, light offshore E at 6 mph. Good for experienced folks. Then it fades out again.

So, bottom line: the two days to circle are Tuesday the 22nd morning for a clean, manageable swell, and Saturday the 26th morning for the big, raw groundswell—experts only. The rest is a mixed bag, so pick your moments.

Stay sharp out there.

Rusty.
