The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First off, the water temperature is sitting around 80°F – that's about normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.

We've got a bit of a wait, to be honest. The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd have some size, around 7ft to 7ft from the SSW, but the wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 18-22 mph, which is messing with the surface. The combined energy is there (1325 to 2272), but the quality's just not on. It's a bit frustrating because you can see the power, but the conditions are holding it back.

Sunday the 23rd is similar. The swell builds a touch – 8ft by the afternoon with a 16-second period from the SSW – and the energy jumps to 4047, which is a lot of water moving. But we're still dealing with a cross-off wind. It's clean-ish, but not the clean you want for a wave like Fare Left.

Now, Monday the 24th is where it gets interesting, but also a bit tricky. The swell hits 10ft in the morning, straight out of the south, with a 14-second period. The wind turns offshore from the ESE, but it's a strong breeze at 25 mph. The notes say "strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into," and that's the truth. This is a solid, powerful reef wave, and with that much wind against it, paddling out is going to be a serious mission. The energy is 3460. This is for experts only. If you're an experienced surfer with a big paddle, Monday morning is the standout, but it's a battle.

The swell drops off sharply after that. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are tiny, with 4ft or less. Not worth the trip.

The real standout comes on Thursday, August 27th. This is the one. The swell is 4ft to 5ft from the SSW, with a 15 to 16-second period. The wind is offshore from the ENE to E, light to moderate at 12-15 mph. The combined energy is around 1042, which is moderate, but the conditions are dialled. The notes say "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is a groundswell, and on a reef like Fare Left, that long period will groom it into perfect, long, hollow lines. The wind will be clean, the tide should be right. This is the best on offer in the whole window. You'll want to be on it.

Friday the 28th gets a bit messy again with the wind picking up, and the swell is inconsistent.

The following week is a mixed bag. There's a pulse of energy around Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th, with 7ft to 8ft swell from the SSW, and offshore winds. The energy is strong (up to 2943), but the forecast is "marginal" with a risk of thunderstorms. It's a promising setup, but the storm risk adds a question mark. It's a long-range call, so don't bank on it.

The first few days of September (1st and 2nd) look fun. Swell drops to 4ft, but the wind is light offshore – gentle to moderate breezes. The notes say "expect very good surf conditions." It'll be a smaller, more user-friendly version of the wave. Good for a fun, clean session.

Then on Thursday, September 3rd, we get another interesting one. Swell is only 3ft, but the period is 18 to 20 seconds – that's a very long period groundswell. The energy picks up to 966. This will be a weird one. It'll be super clean, but that long period might make it break a bit too straight at Fare Left. Still, a 20-second swell is a rare thing, and it could produce some beautiful, lined-up waves if the tide is right.

Finally, the very last day, Saturday, September 5th, has a 8ft swell from the SW with a 15-second period and light offshore winds. The energy is 2850. The notes say "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is another serious contender, but it's at the very end of the 16-day window, so it's a long-range hope. If it comes together, it'll be a belter.

Bottom line: Thursday, August 27th is the one to circle. It's the best combination of size, period, and clean offshore wind. The Monday the 24th and the Saturday the 5th of September are the big-wave options if you're a charger, but they come with caveats.

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.
