Drummond Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming our way for Drummond Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a rough start. The next few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th are plagued by cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell is there, hovering around 4ft to 6ft from the WSW, but it’s just not worth paddling out for. The wave energy is moderate to strong (514 to 2280), but with that wind, it’s a mess. The water temperature is sitting at 60°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We get a brief glimmer of hope on Sunday the 26th. The morning sees a clean, glassy 3ft swell from the WSW with light cross-offshore winds. The energy is weak (239), but it’ll be a fun little session for those who want to get wet without the fight. It’s small, but clean.

Then we hit another rough patch. From Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 30th, it’s mostly cloudy with moderate to fresh winds, and the swell stays small and messy. The energy is moderate (418 to 931), but the quality is poor.

Now, the second week starts to look a bit more promising. Wednesday the 30th afternoon, we get cleaner conditions with a 3ft WSW swell and light cross-offshore winds. It’s a small, clean window. Friday the 1st of August morning is a standout: clear skies, light offshore wind from the east, and a 2ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 14 seconds. The energy is weak (310), but that long period means it’ll be a quality wave for a point break like Drummond. It’s going to be a super clean, low-crowd session if you can get out there.

The real highlight, though, looks to be Sunday the 4th of August. The morning brings a 5ft SW swell with a moderate energy (1663) and clean, cross-offshore winds. The afternoon picks up even more, with a 6ft WSW swell and a very strong energy reading (2659). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, and the period is a solid 16 seconds. This is the best of the bunch. The waves will have good shape and power, and it’s a point break, so it’ll handle that long-period groundswell beautifully. Keep an eye on it, but don’t book the week off yet – it’s a long way out.

The very end of the run, on Wednesday the 6th of August, looks like a total dud with tiny, glassy waves (2ft) and weak energy (147).

So, to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a bust. The standout is definitely Friday the 1st of August morning for a clean, small-wave session, and the best on offer is Sunday the 4th of August with that solid, clean swell. It’s promising, but a long way out.

Rusty.
