Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fare Left over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got one break on the table for the next 16 days: Fare Left. It's a reef break that needs a good SW swell, and it ain't gonna be a walk in the park – this spot is for advanced surfers only.

Right now, things are pretty shabby. We've got a run of marginal conditions straight off the bat. Sunday afternoon (12th July) is a write-off with a 5ft SW swell, and an 11-second period from the SSW making a mess of things with cross winds. The water's sitting at a warm 81°, which is about average for the time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at 1246 but the quality's just not there.

Monday through Wednesday (13th to 15th) is more of the same. The swell picks up a touch – Monday arvo sees 7ft at 14 seconds from the SSW – but those cross and cross-on winds are killing any chance of a clean wave. It's choppy, lumpy, and frankly, not worth getting wet for. The combined energy is strong in that Monday afternoon slot (1774) but it's all messy energy.

We finally get a glimmer of hope on Thursday, 16th July. The wind swings to a cross-off from the SSE, and we get 7ft to 8ft of S swell. The period drops to a solid 15-16 seconds, so there's proper groundswell in the water. The combined energy jumps to 2869, which is strong. The wind is fresh, but it's clean. The size is getting into expert-only territory, so keep your wits about you.

Friday the 17th holds clean as well, with similar 7ft to 8ft S swell and cross-off winds. Same story: big, clean, but for the crew who can handle it.

The standout window looks to be Saturday 18th July. The swell drops to 6ft, still from the S, with a clean 12-second period and light, cross-off winds. The combined energy drops to 1015 (moderate), but the wind is gentle and the conditions are described as excellent. That's your pick of the first week – the cleanest, most manageable size for a skilled surfer with not too much hassle paddling out.

After that, Sunday 19th goes a bit quiet with smaller 5ft surf, but still clean.

The second week brings the real gold. Hold onto your board. Monday 20th July sees a solid 8ft SSW groundswell with moderate offshore wind from the ENE. That's a proper clean, powerful day. The combined energy is massive at 2977. This is a standout for the experienced crew. Tuesday 21st is magic – 4ft to 5ft of long-period SSW swell (18-19 seconds), with gentle offshore winds. The wave quality is going to be unreal, with long, clean lines typical of a long-period groundswell on a reef. That 19-second period is as long as it gets, so the sets will be well-spaced and powerful.

Wednesday 22nd through Friday 24th stays clean with moderate SSW swell (5ft to 6ft) and off to cross-off winds. Consistency is good, and the combined energy stays moderate to strong (up to 1740). Nice, but not the absolute standouts.

The last few days, Saturday 25th to Sunday 26th, are smaller (4ft to 5ft) with clean, offshore winds. Saturday afternoon is glassy, perfect for a longboard or a fish if the period holds. Then Monday 27th July brings a bigger pulse again: 7ft from the SSE with a fresh offshore, but combined energy is very strong at 2340. It's a promising but less certain long-range call.

The standout overall is Tuesday 21st July. The combination of that very long 18-19 second period, gentle offshore wind, and clean conditions is the best on offer. It's a reef break, so those long-period swells will wrap in perfectly. Second best is Monday 20th July for the power and size, but that's for experts only.

No huge gaps without a recommendation, just a rough first few days. Get ready for the second week.

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.
