The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Drummond Point in old-school units.
The first 12 days or so are basically a bust. From Friday July 31st straight through to mid-August, it’s a mess of onshore wind and lumpy slop. Some days have serious storm winds – Saturday August 10th sees severe gale-force onshores hitting a 8ft swell, with combined energy readings through the roof (3931). That ain’t for paddle surfing; that’s kite territory if anything.
But we do have two bright spots in the second week, and one of ’em is a real gem. Mark Friday August 14th morning. Clean 4ft WSW groundswell at 15-second intervals, combined energy around 1153 – lots of punch. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at just 3 mph, so you’re looking at glassy, peeling waves. Perfect for intermediates. Water temp is about 59°, normal for the season.
The other chance is Wednesday August 5th afternoon. After a rough morning, the wind drops to dead calm – glassy conditions – with a 4ft, long-period WSW swell at 18 seconds (717 combined energy). That long period will give you clean, lined-up waves, but the direction’s a bit off the spot’s ideal. Crowds pop up sometimes, so expect a few others with the same idea.
Bottom line: a long dry spell, but that Friday the 14th morning is the standout. Get in early before the wind shifts onshore.
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.
