The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Fare Left, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The pattern starts slow, builds into a powerful, long-period groundswell, and then fades out. The first few days are a write-off for any decent surfing, so don’t bother paddling out until Sunday.
The first real chance is Sunday morning, July 19th. The swell is a meaty 10 ft from the SSW with a period of 12 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-off. The energy is strong (2138), but the score is low due to tide issues. It’s big—over 8 ft, so this is one for the experts only. The water temp is about average for July, nothing strange.
Now, the standout. Monday, July 20th morning is the real gem. We’ve got a 6 ft SSW groundswell pumping in with a very long period of 22 seconds. The energy is massive (5189), and the wind is fresh offshore from the ESE. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves at this reef break. The long period means it’ll be a bit more walled-up and better for the more advanced crew, but the power is undeniable. This is the best on offer.
Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd mornings keep the quality high, with 8 ft and 8 ft SSW swells, still with fresh offshore winds. The energy remains strong (3524 and 4896). These are expert-level sessions, but the conditions are clean.
By Friday, July 24th, the swell drops to 5 ft, the wind goes light, and the crowd factor is a possibility. The energy is moderate (1009), and it’s a good window for experienced surfers. The week after that, from the 26th to the 29th, we get a nice run of chest-high, clean, cross-off surf with light winds. The energy is moderate (600-1400), and the conditions are excellent. The Tuesday 28th afternoon session stands out again with a 5 ft S swell, 14-second period, and light offshore wind—a real treat.
The last couple of days of July and into August look poor. The wind cranks up, the swell drops, and it’s not worth a look.
So, if you’re an expert, the Monday 20th morning is your best bet. For the rest of you, the Friday 24th morning and the Tuesday 28th afternoon are the cleanest, most manageable waves.
Rusty, signing off.

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