Table - best surf conditions forecast for Drummonds over the next 16 days.
Alright, gents, Rusty here.
We're focusing on Drummonds, a reef set-up. The water's at 69°, which is a bit nippier than average for the season, so think about a thicker suit.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday morning is showing a 7ft swell from the WSW with a very long 16-second period, packing a punch (1956 energy). But the wind is side-shore, so it'll be a little bumpy. Thursday afternoon's similar, just a touch smaller with more sideshore. The standout is Friday morning. The swell drops to 5ft from the SW, but the wind goes clean offshore, and the period is a solid 13 seconds. That's going to be the cleanest, most fun wave of the early part of the run. Saturday and Sunday morning are smaller, but still clean. By Sunday afternoon, the swell is building again, hitting 7ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period (2528 energy). That's serious water. The wind is offshore, so it should be clean, but that size and long period can make it a bit tricky on a reef if it's a straight beach break. For the experienced, it's a solid look.
The first half of next week is pumping. Monday's got a 8ft SW swell (3184 energy) and Tuesday afternoon has 7ft with clean offshore wind, making it excellent for seasoned surfers. Wednesday afternoon is a good call for a mellower, cleaner session.
The biggest, most exciting window is at the very end. We're looking at a big swell for the 23rd and 24th of July. Thursday the 23rd has an 8ft, 15-second SW swell (3170 energy), but the wind is onshore, so it'll be a mess. The real prize is Friday the 24th. The forecast is for an 12ft SW swell, with a 14-second period, and… offshore wind. The energy is a massive 5144, and the conditions are labelled as exceptional for experts. That's the one. That's the session. The afternoon holds even bigger at 12ft with an 18-second period, but the wind goes cross-off. It'll be huge and powerful, only for the very brave.
After that, the surf drops off and gets poor for a few days from the 20th.
So, for the best of the best, Friday morning the 24th of July is the absolute standout. For right now, Friday the 10th of July morning is the cleanest call.
Rusty.

Information about the Drummonds Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Drummonds provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Drummonds can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Drummonds 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 (Drummonds) 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 Drummonds 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.
