The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Fare Left is cooking up over the next couple of weeks.
The overall pattern is a slow build, with a few solid windows of clean surf, but you’re going to need patience at the start. The first real action is a bit of a tease, but once we hit the second week, there’s a proper standout that’s got my attention.
Conditions start off a little messy. Sunday the 6th is a write-off with moderate cross-off wind and just 4ft of SSW swell – the energy is moderate (606), but it’s not doing us any favours. Monday the 7th looks better, with clean, offshore E wind picking up a consistent 3ft to 3ft SSW swell (energy drops from 299 to 218). It’s small but clean, with a long 12-second period giving the waves some shape. Tuesday the 8th stays clean with fresh offshore wind, but the swell drops to 2ft-2ft, and while the period jumps to 15-19 seconds (proper groundswell), the energy is moderate (229 to 577) and the tide might mess with it. Wednesday through Thursday keeps things small (3ft to 4ft) with clean cross-off wind and moderate energy, but nothing really pushes past fun, small waves.
Friday the 11th is a nice little surprise – morning and afternoon both go offshore from the east, with 2ft SSW swell at a solid 13-14 seconds. Energy is moderate (241 to 211), but it’s clean and the wind is right. Not a standout, but a good day to get wet.
Now, Saturday the 12th is disappointing – the swell drops to 2ft and the northeast cross-off wind and weak energy (165 to 79) mean it’s a bit of a dud. Sunday the 13th is where things wake up. The morning has 3ft SSW groundswell with a ridiculous 20-second period – that’s serious energy (692) – and light cross-off wind. But it’s the afternoon that gets me excited: glassy conditions, zero wind, and 4ft SSW swell at 19 seconds, with energy climbing to 974. That’s the kind of session you wait for.
The real standout of the whole period? Monday the 14th. Both morning and afternoon are glassy or near-calm, with 4ft of SSW swell holding at 17 seconds. The energy pushes into the very strong range (1131 and 1090). This is groundswell perfection for an advanced reef like Fare Left – long, clean lines, powerful, and the wind is off. The swell direction is straight out of the optimum SW, so the break will be firing. This is the pick of the fortnight, for experienced surfers only – beginners stay out of the water here.
Tuesday the 15th sees the swell jump to 6ft to 6ft (energies of 1894 to 2023), but the wind starts turning onshore or cross-shore, bringing chop. Still rideable for keen crew, but messy. Wednesday the 16th stays big (6ft to 7ft) with clean cross-off wind from the southeast – that’s big stuff for experts, with very strong energy (1875 to 2084). Thursday the 17th is similar, but the swell starts to ease (6ft to 5ft, energy 1191 to 1086).
Friday the 18th brings a return to offshore wind from the ESE, with 4ft to 4ft SSW swell at 14 seconds – clean and moderate energy (543 to 496). A solid end to the week. After that, from Saturday the 19th through to Monday the 21st, the swell drops back to 3ft to 4ft, with moderate energy (340 to 636) and clean cross-off wind, but nothing that will blow your socks off.
So, bottom line: if you can get out Monday the 14th, that’s your day. Glorious glass and solid deep-water swell. The rest of the window has plenty of clean but smaller windows. Stay sharp.

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.
