The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are all about one spot: Fare Left. It’s a proper reef set-up, and it’s gonna take center stage for the entire forecast period. For the most part, it’s looking fairly consistent, though we do have a bit of a slow start to work through.

Right off the bat, Wednesday morning the 26th is pretty average. We’ve got some chest-high swell at 5.2ft coming from the southeast, but it’s a bit jumbled with an 8-second period and a fresh cross-off breeze. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The energy is pretty weak, sitting at 700. Wednesday afternoon is worse, dropping to 4.3ft and the wind picks up. We’ll just let that one pass.

Thursday the 27th is where things start to get interesting. The swell direction swings around to the SSW and the period jumps up to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The morning is around 4.3ft with a clean offshore breeze (35 km/h) and it’s got that nice, lined-up feel. The energy is building, hitting 956. The afternoon pushes it up a touch to 4.9ft and the energy jumps over 1000 (1077). It’s still a bit messy with a cross-off wind, but the potential is there.

Friday the 28th keeps that SSW groundswell going, but the wind gets a bit stronger, blowing 45 km/h. It’s cross-off, so it’s still clean, but it’s going to be a handful. Morning is 3.6ft, but the afternoon bumps up to 5.6ft. The energy is really starting to build now, hitting 1776 in the morning and over 2000 (2103) by the afternoon. This is where it starts to get serious.

Now, the standouts. Saturday the 29th is the big one. We’ve got a strong SSW groundswell, 16 seconds, and the size is up there – 7.9ft in the morning and 9.8ft in the afternoon. This is big, powerful surf. The offshore wind is strong and clean, and the energy numbers are massive (2903 morning, 3882 afternoon). This is the day for experienced surfers only. This is the real deal, but you’ll be working hard to get in. Sunday the 30th is very similar, with 8.2ft in the morning and 7.5ft in the afternoon, still with that strong offshore wind and huge energy (2684 and 2177). This is a serious swell window.

After that, things settle down a bit but stay fun. Monday the 31st is still solid, with 5.6ft and 5.2ft and a fresh offshore breeze. The energy is dropping back to around 1000, but it’s clean and should have some good shape.

We then hit a bit of a lull on Tuesday the 1st of September, with smaller surf around 3.6-3.9ft and the energy down in the 400s. It’s still clean but less powerful. Wednesday the 2nd is even smaller, but the period is super long at 18 seconds. It’s pretty weak, but if you’re after some long, glidey waves, the afternoon might offer a few.

The next window of note comes on Thursday the 3rd of September. The SSW swell rebuilds, with 5.9ft in the morning and 7.5ft in the afternoon. The period is a solid 15-16 seconds and the energy is back up over 2000 (2149 and 2592). The wind is a fresh offshore, so it should be clean and powerful. Friday the 4th holds that size, around 6.6-6.9ft, with similar conditions. That’s another good window for the more experienced crew.

Into the second week, things start to taper off. Saturday the 5th is still decent with 5.6ft, but the energy is dropping. Sunday the 6th sees a shift in wind to a cross-off and the swell drops to around 4.3-5.2ft. From Monday the 7th through Tuesday the 8th, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops right off. The swell is still there, 3.9-4.9ft, but it’s going to be choppy and messy. Not worth your time.

The tail end of the forecast, Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, shows some improvement in the wind, turning cross-off, but the swell is fading fast. We’re down to around 2.3-4.6ft and the energy is weak. Thursday morning the 10th actually gets a “very good” conditions tag, but with such small swell, it’s a groveler’s special.

So, the real standouts are Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August. That’s the big, powerful groundswell with clean, strong offshore winds. It’s going to be big, so only for experts. The other notable window is Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September – a bit smaller but still solid and clean. Keep in mind, Fare Left is a reef, so this long-period stuff is going to be a lot more lined-up than a beach break. It’s a proper spot,

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.
