Alright, Rusty here, talking Drummond Point. This spot's a mix of beach, reef, and point, consistent, and open to the swell. Water temp is about 59.7°F, right around average for this time of year.
The run starts Monday, July 6 with a clean 3.3ft swell from the WSW, 14-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. Energy's moderate (431). Nice little start. Monday afternoon stays clean with a smaller 2.6ft swell and light cross-off wind.
Tuesday, July 7 gets better. Morning is clean but marginal, 3.3ft and 16-second period. Afternoon though – that's a sweet spot: 3.9ft, long 16-second period, light NNE breeze at 3 mph, cross-off, energy 645. The waves will be clean and lined up. A standout.
Wednesday, July 8 is the big one. Morning has 5.6ft from the WSW at 17 seconds, moderate cross-off NNE wind at 12 mph, energy 1733. Still clean. But afternoon – 4.9ft, 16 seconds, NE wind at 9 mph, cross-off, clean, energy 1137. Excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best of the entire forecast – a long-period groundswell that'll wrap nicely around the point. Bit much for beginners, but if you've got the skills, it's on.
Thursday, July 9 is decent in the morning – 3.3ft, 14 seconds, light NNE wind, clean – but afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy. From Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July 12, the wind goes to hell: strong cross-onshore, near gale on Saturday with 8.2ft of slop. Blown out. Monday, July 13 through Wednesday, July 15 stays poor – fresh cross-onshore winds, lumpy, despite some solid swell. Not worth paddling.
Then Thursday, July 16 – a break in the clouds. Morning has 4.3ft, 14 seconds, offshore E wind at 9 mph – clean, glassy. Energy 697. Afternoon even lighter, ENE breeze at 3 mph. Another standout window after a long rough patch. Crowds might be okay on a weekday.
Friday, July 17 fades – morning

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.
