Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’re at Drummonds, a reef break that can really unload. Water temp is 69°, about 2° cooler than usual for this time of year – a bit nippy.
First real surf is on Friday, July 3rd. A solid SW groundswell runs 7 ft, with a very long period of 14 seconds. The energy is strong at 1881. Morning brings an offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, keeping the waves glassy and lined up. This is heavy – for experienced surfers only. Afternoon drops to 6 ft, still clean and powerful (energy 1463).
Saturday July 4th afternoon is the weekend winner: 6 ft of SW groundswell, 16-second period, energy jumps to 1949. Light cross-off winds keep it clean. That’s a standout session.
Sunday the 5th is messy – skip it. Monday July 6th morning is another cracker: 6 ft, 15-second period, light ESE cross-off winds, clean and strong (energy 1506). Afternoon gets bigger at 8 ft, but cross-shore chop makes it rougher.
Tuesday July 7th is pumping – 8 ft SW swell, 16-second period, with strong energy (3288 morning, 3304 afternoon). Winds stay cross-off and clean. Big, long-period groundswell – expect fast, powerful waves that may close out a bit at the reef. Expert territory.
Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th mornings are still clean and good, with 6 ft and clean winds.
Then a lull hits from Friday July 10th through Saturday the 11th. Strong winds and weak, messy surf – nothing worth paddling for.
Sunday July 12th brings a new pulse: 8 ft SW swell, 16-second period, energy at 2570. Cross-off winds keep it clean. For experts again.
Monday July 13th morning offers a clean, punchy 5 ft with offshore winds – nice.
Tuesday July 14th has the best wind of the later window: fresh offshore in the morning, moderate offshore in the afternoon, holding 5 ft of 15-second period SW swell. Clean and powerful.
From Wednesday the 15th, it dribbles out – small, weak, windy.
Look ahead to Friday July 17th – a new swell: 7 ft from the WSW, 16-second period, strong energy (2512). The afternoon hits 8 ft (2784). It’s a promising signal, but it’s deep in the outlook.
Best of the best: Friday July 3rd morning and Saturday July 4th afternoon. Conditions, size, period, and wind all align for expert-level reef surfing. Monday July 6th morning is a close second for clean, strong waves.
Rusty out.

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.
