The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s see what Drummond Point is cooking up over the next two weeks.
First few days are a total bust. Strong winds and messy surf mean you’re not missing a thing. The water’s at 59°, pretty average for the season.
There’s a long lull until a bright spot on Thursday, July 30th. The morning is your best bet. A 4ft swell from the WSW, with a 13-second period, giving a moderate wave energy of 569. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. Not huge, but a nice little window.
Then we get a real spike. Monday, August 3rd is the one to circle. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the WSW, a 14-second period, and a very strong energy of 1800. That’s a lot of water moving. With light cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean and powerful. This is for experienced surfers only – that size and energy is no joke. The break is a beach, reef, and point, so there’s options.
The run of good conditions continues. Tuesday, August 4th afternoon has a clean 3ft swell with a 15-second period (518 energy) and light cross-offshore wind. Wednesday, August 5th afternoon sees a 4ft swell with a very long 19-second period (907 energy) and clean, gentle cross-offshore wind. That long period will give beautiful, drawn-out waves – but the beach might be a bit fat, so the point and reef will hold the better shape.
Thursday, August 6th afternoon is a gem: a 4ft swell, 16-second period (714 energy), and barely any wind. Glassy, clean, perfect.
The wind turns ugly after that. Friday, August 7th and Saturday, August 8th are lumpy. And from Sunday, August 9th onward, it’s a full-on blowout with strong onshore winds and rain. The window is closed.
The highlights are the Monday, August 3rd morning for the big-wave crew, and the Thursday, August 6th afternoon for a glassy, fun session for everyone else. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
