The Lowdown
Alright, surf fans, Rusty here. Let's get into the outlook for Drummond Point. The first few days are a bit of a tease but there's some real promise further out.
Right now, the opening Saturday is looking a bit average. We've got a 4ft WSW groundswell with a long 15 second period pushing in, but the wind is a messy cross-off from the NNE at 15 mph. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 59° for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (629) but the whole setup is just a bit too questionable to get excited about. Saturday afternoon cleans up a little with a lighter NW breeze, but the swell drops a fraction and the vibe remains marginal.
Sunday and Monday are write-offs with strong onshore winds, don't even bother paddling out. Tuesday the 15th sees the swell pick up to 6ft with that same 15 second period, and the combined energy jumps to a solid (2273). The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSE at 15 mph, but conditions are still considered marginal—tide might be a factor.
Wednesday the 16th is where things start looking interesting. Morning has a 5ft WSW groundswell at 15 seconds and a moderate offshore wind from the East at 15 mph. Combined energy is moderate (1091) and conditions are clean. This is your first real window for some decent waves. Thursday and Friday drop off again in size, with winds making a mess of things for a couple of days.
Then we hit a bit of a flat spell from around the 18th through the 20th. The swell bottoms out to 2ft and winds are strong and messy. A longer wait is on the cards.
Now, mark your calendars for Monday the 22nd of September. This is the standout. Drummond Point will see a solid 7ft WSW groundswell with a very long 16 second period, pumping out a combined energy of (2445). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. This swell is pushing past 8ft, so it's expert territory only, but the quality is shaping up to be excellent with super clean conditions. Tuesday the 23rd follows up with a big 7ft swell but a cross-shore wind makes it a bit more of a handful.
The final weekend, the 27th and 28th, sees a return of some size with a 6ft to 7ft swell, but the wind is howling again and chops things up.
Even though it's a slow start, the 22nd is the real standout here. Keep an eye on that date.
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.
