The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break down Fare Left in feet and miles per hour.
Right now, it’s dead quiet. Saturday the 15th through Monday the 17th are a bust—weak surf, messy cross-off winds, not worth the drive. You’re looking at a couple days of nothing.
Tuesday the 18th finally brings some life. Morning has a S swell at 0.8ft with a 12-second period, but the wind is a light NNE breeze, so it’s clean. By afternoon, the swell jumps to 1ft from the SSE with a 14-second period, near glassy, and the energy is strong (1039). That’s decent.
The real gem is Wednesday the 19th morning. Glassy conditions, a 1ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds, combined energy strong (966)—the waves will be smooth, lined-up, and beautiful. That’s the best early call.
Thursday the 20th is okay but the moderate SSE breeze roughens it up a bit. Friday the 21st pushes to 3ft with a short 12-second period—big and punchy, experts only, but cross-off winds keep it clean.
Now, the absolute standout is Sunday the 23rd afternoon. A 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, offshore east wind at 16 mph, and the energy is extreme (4090). This is big, powerful, and clean—advanced surfers only, but it’s going to be a session to remember. Long-period swells like this will hold up well on the reef here.
After that, Monday the 24th stays large and offshore but gets a bit gusty. Tuesday the 25th turns onshore and messy. Wednesday the 26th sees a return to lighter winds and a smaller SW swell around 1ft—clean but mellow.
The end of the month into the 30th has some moderate SSW pulses, but winds are mostly cross-off or cross-shore, keeping it average. Nothing that beats that Sunday the 23rd.
In short: first few days are flat. Best bets are Wednesday the 19th morning for glassy quality waves at a fun size, and Sunday the 23rd afternoon if you’re an expert chasing big, powerful, offshore groundswell. That Sunday is the one.
Rusty.

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.
