The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Fare Left. We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell coming, but you’ll need to be patient.
It starts Saturday the 22nd. Swell is 6ft from the SSW, period just under 14 seconds, but the wind is a strong cross-off from the SSE at 22 mph. The tide is questionable, and the energy is strong at 1752. Water temp is 81°, about normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 23rd is where it gets good. Swell bumps up to 8ft from the SSW, with a much better 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell. Energy jumps to 3,208 in the morning and 5,747 in the afternoon. Wind is still a cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, but the waves are clean. This is building into something big. At 8ft, this is expert territory.
Monday the 24th gets rowdy. A 10ft south swell in the morning, but the wind is a strong cross-off from the ESE at 25 mph. It’s marginal, and the energy is 3,559. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session for most.
Midweek drops off. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th go down to 4ft and then 3ft, with weak energy. Not worth the drive.
Then it locks in. From Thursday the 27th through the 30th, we have a consistent run of SSW groundswell, building back to 10ft by Sunday the 30th. The period stays long, between 15 and 18 seconds. The wind turns offshore on Thursday (E at 25 mph), and by Sunday the 30th, we’ve got fresh offshore winds from the ESE at 22 mph with big 10ft swell. Energy on the 29th is 4,506 and on the 30th it’s 4,412. This is powerful surf.
The standout window is Sunday the 30th. Both morning and afternoon see 10ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and fresh offshore wind. Big, clean, and powerful for experts.
The swell drops after that. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September still have offshore winds and clean waves in the 4ft to 6ft range. Worth a look.
Then we have a sleeper hit at the end. Friday the 4th of September. Swell is 5ft from the SSW at 16 seconds, and the wind goes absolutely glassy – zero wind from ENE in the morning, then a whisper from the SSE at 3 mph in the afternoon. Perfect, clean conditions. Energy is 1,439. That’s the kind of session you dream about. It’s a long way out, but it looks amazing.
For power and size, Sunday the 30th is the one. For clean, glassy perfection, keep your fingers crossed for Friday the 4th.
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.
