The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming weeks.
The picture starts with a solid pulse of long-period SW groundswell moving in for the opening Sunday morning, but the wind is a bit of a letdown—warm and cross-on with a bit of texture on the surface. Over the next few days, the swell settles back a notch, but the real story is the patchy conditions. The standout is Thursday the 3rd of September. Early that morning, we get a clean 6ft of SW swell with glassy winds and a clean, unbroken surface. The combined energy is moderate (3115) for the start, but the quality is all about the wind. That Thursday morning is the pick of the first week—clean, lined up, and friendly for an intermediate. Keep in mind this spot is a reef break and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need patience, but when it’s glassy like that, it’s worth the wait.
The swell picks up again into the second week, with a big 10ft SW swell arriving on Monday the 7th of September. The morning is clean with light offshore winds, making it a proper session but only for the experienced crew—anything over 8ft is a handful. The combined energy jumps to 4541, so there’s plenty of push. The Thursday the 10th of September afternoon also offers a return to glassy conditions on a 6ft SW swell, with a clean, smooth surface and gentle winds. That’s another solid option for the more seasoned surfer.
Later in the run, the 14th of September Monday morning brings a hefty 12ft SW swell, with energy climbing to 6511. That’s big, powerful, and serious—for experts only. The wind is cross, but the swell is long-period and will be breaking straight at this reef, so it’s not a beginner’s day.
Overall, the best windows are Thursday the 3rd of September morning, and Monday the 7th of September morning for the more experienced. Don’t expect crowds to be too heavy—this spot only sees them sometimes, so you’ll have some room.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Drummonds can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
