Alright, Rusty here again. We're lookin' at Drummond Point for the whole run, no other spots in play.
Water's sittin' around 60°, pretty normal for the season.
The start of the week is a gentle tease. Monday afternoon (July 6th) brings clean 3 ft swell from the WSW, about 14-second periods, and a light offshore breeze. It's small but glassy – a nice warm-up.
Tuesday (July 7th) is where you wanna be. Morning's a bit rough with 20 km/h winds, but the afternoon goes glassy. The swell pushes up to 4 ft with a long 16-second period and a lot of energy behind it. That's the sweet spot for clean, lined-up waves.
Wednesday morning (July 8th) is the big one for experienced surfers. Swell hits 6 ft from the WSW with a 17-second period, which is proper groundswell. Plenty of power, cross-off wind keeping it clean. Not for beginners, but the crew in the know will be all over it.
From Thursday (July 9th) into the weekend, the wind turns onshore and it gets lumpy. By Saturday and Sunday, we've got 25+ km/h onshore winds and 6 ft to 8 ft of messy swell. Kite-surfing conditions, not for a paddle board.
The second week has one bright spot: Wednesday (July 15th). The swell drops to 4 ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy or light offshore. Clean, workable waves for intermediates.
After that, it's a washout. Strong winds, chop, and eventually near-gale force gusts from the 19th right through the 21st. The swell's there, but you'd be crazy to go out.
The best bets are Tuesday afternoon (July 7th) for that glassy 4 ft swell, and Wednesday morning (July 8th) for the experienced crowd on the 6 ft groundswell.
Rusty out.

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.
