The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Fare Left over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a real mixed bag, but there’s definitely something to get excited about if you’re patient.
The first real standout for me is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. It’s a small start, with a clean 2 ft SSW groundswell, but the kicker here is the 18-second period and the glassy offshore east wind. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate (377), but that long period means the waves will have some real shape. It’s an advanced reef break, so it’s not for everyone, and crowds are possible, but the conditions look crisp and clean right from the get-go.
That’s the calm before the storm, though. By Friday, September 4th, the swell really puts its foot down. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft SSW swell all day, with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is pumping at a very strong 2756 and 2682 for the morning and afternoon. The wind stays offshore from the east at 22 mph, keeping the faces clean. This is proper, heavy groundswell for experts only – anything over 8 ft is serious business, and this is right on that edge. The long period will make it sectiony at a reef, but for a crew of advanced surfers, this is the best session on offer.
The energy drops off from Saturday, September 5th, but we still have chest-to-head-high waves in the 7 ft to 6 ft range with the same offshore flow. Sunday the 6th is a good choice for the slightly less brave, with morning 4 ft SSW swell and moderate offshore winds.
After that, the surf fades into a real flat spell from Monday September 7th through to Saturday September 12th. There are days with poor conditions, messy winds, and wave heights dropping as low as 1 ft. It’s a big gap with no real recommendations, so don’t even bother paddling out.
Things start to look promising again on Sunday, September 14th. The morning of the 13th shows a bit of life, but the real highlight is the 14th Monday. We’ve got 5 ft to 6 ft SW groundswell with an 18 to 17-second period and a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the east. The energy is strong (1263 to 1820) and it’s the cleanest, most powerful swell we’ve seen in a week. It’s described as excellent for experienced surfers, so take that seriously.
The run ends on a high note on Wednesday morning, September 17th, with a small but clean 3 ft SSW swell, a slight offshore breeze, and a very long 14-second period. The energy is moderate (606) and the conditions look pure.
So, bottom line: if you’re an expert, circle Friday September 4th as the standout. For the slightly smaller but still firing conditions, Monday September 14th is your best bet. The rest is either small, messy, or flat.

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.
