The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got coming at Drummond Point.
The first few days are a total bust. We've got some decent energy in the water – moderate to strong swell energy – but the wind is just howling cross-shore and cross-onshore, turning everything into a chop-fest. Tuesday through Thursday, leave the stick at home.
It starts to clean up on Friday the 15th. That morning brings a clean 6ft swell out of the WSW with a 16-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the ESE. That's proper, clean, lined-up surf. This is your best call, with moderate energy backing it up. Saturday the 16th holds clean with offshore wind, but the swell drops to around 4ft.
Now, for the real standout, look at Monday the 17th. The swell drops to 3ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy in the afternoon. Pure, silky conditions. That long 16-second period will have those lines wrapping around the point beautifully. It won't be big, but the quality will be unreal.
The second week gets iffy again. A clean 5ft pulse shows up on Friday the 21st, but after that, it's mostly small and messy or just blown out by strong winds. The last few days of the window look like a write-off. Water temp is around 59°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
Stay sharp, and that Friday-to-Monday window is where it's at.
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.
