The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Drummonds. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first real action kicks off Monday the 27th of July. That morning, you’re looking at a clean 8ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and a light ESE offshore breeze. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is fairly strong (1977), so there’s plenty of push. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s real good. That afternoon, it drops a touch to 7ft with a cross-off breeze, still clean.
Tuesday the 28th is another solid morning. A clean 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a solid E offshore breeze. The energy is still strong (1544). The afternoon cleans up even more with a 6ft SW swell and a gentle offshore breeze. Both sessions are excellent.
Wednesday the 29th is a mixed bag. The morning has a 5ft swell but a cross-off wind, so it’s messy. The afternoon, though, is a standout: 6ft SW swell with a 17-second period, and the energy jumps way up (2752). The wind is light and cross-off. That’s a proper classic groundswell afternoon.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are a bit of a lull. The swell is still there, but the wind is cross or cross-on, so the quality drops. The energy is moderate (around 1000-2000), but the conditions are marginal. Not your best bet.
The first weekend of August is a bit of a tease. Saturday the 1st has 7ft and 7ft clean surf with cross-off breezes, but the quality is still called marginal. Sunday the 2nd is similar, with 8ft and 8ft, but again, not the cleanest. The energy is still strong (2000-2500), but the wind is a bit stronger.
Now, here’s the real standout. Monday the 3rd of August brings back the offshore magic. The morning has a 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, and an E offshore breeze. The energy is still good (1273). It’s clean and excellent for experienced surfers.
But the absolute best of the whole run? You have to wait for Tuesday the 11th of August. That morning, a massive 12ft SW groundswell rolls in with a 12-second period, and an ESE offshore breeze. The energy is absolutely pumping (7569). This is only for experts—it’s way too big for anyone else. The afternoon is even bigger, with 13ft SW swell and an 18-second period, and the energy is through the roof (9085). That’s a once-in-a-forecast kind of day. The wind is cross-off, but the power is insane.
The week before that, from the 4th to the 10th, is a real mixed bag. There’s plenty of swell, but the wind is often onshore or cross, making it messy. The 9th of August has a clean 8ft morning with a light offshore, but it’s not as energetic as the big day.
So, overall, the best on offer is the afternoon of Wednesday the 29th of July for a classic, clean groundswell, and then the absolute monster day on Tuesday the 11th of August for the big-wave crew. The 11th is the one to circle.
Stay stoked, and don’t forget the wax.

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.
