Alright, mate, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way for Drummond Point over the next 16 days. The short-term is a write-off, but don’t tune out just yet – there’s a couple of windows that could be worth waiting for.
The first few days are a real struggle. Monday the 13th is a no-go with strong onshore winds and a messy 8ft WSW swell. Tuesday’s not much better with cross-onshore winds. The swell is there, but it’s blown out and crummy. We’re looking at a gap of nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday morning the 15th.
That’s when things start to turn. Wednesday morning the 15th sees a nice drop in the wind, with a clean cross-off breeze and the swell settling to 5ft. The real standout, though, is Wednesday afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is a clean 5ft from the WSW. The wave energy is still moderate (800), but with zero wind, it’s going to be silky smooth. This is the pick of the first week for anyone who wants clean, friendly lines. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no dramas there.
Thursday and Friday the 16th and 17th are a step down but still rideable if you’re keen, with smaller 4ft to 4ft swell and cross-off winds. It’ll be clean but not much punch. After that, it drops right off over the weekend of the 18th and 19th – tiny, messy, and choppy. Not worth the effort.
Now, for the second week, there’s a promising window. Monday morning the 20th flips things around with a light offshore wind and a solid 5ft groundswell. The energy is moderate (1012), and it’s clean. This is a solid session for experienced surfers. Then we have another dry spell until Saturday the 25th.
Saturday the 25th is the big one. The morning shows a clean cross-off breeze with a powerful 8ft WSW swell. The energy is very strong (3236), and the period is a long 16 seconds. This is a proper groundswell, and at that size, it’s for experts only. It’ll be a heavy, powerful wave at Drummond Point, so if you’ve got the skills, that’s your best shot of the whole forecast. The afternoon is a bit messier with cross-shore wind, but the morning is the real deal.
Overall, keep your eyes on Wednesday the 15th afternoon for the glassy session, and circle Saturday the 25th morning for the big, clean swell. The rest is a bit of a lottery.
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.
