The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about the only game in town: Fare Left. This is an advanced reef break, and the next week and a half is looking interesting.
You've got a steady offshore flow, mostly from the east and southeast, which is perfect for keeping the faces clean and lined up.
Don't bother paddling out Thursday the 27th or Friday the 28th. There's swell, but the wind is too strong and the conditions are messy.
The first real action kicks off Saturday the 29th of August. We’re looking at an 8ft to 10ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second interval. This is groundswell with a ton of power, and the energy numbers are huge. That long period on a reef break like this means it's going to be heavy, powerful, and strictly for experts. Sunday the 30th is a similar story – solid, strong swell with a fresh offshore wind.
The best day of the whole run, though, is Monday the 31st of August. The swell drops to a much more user-friendly 6 feet from the SSW, still with a nice 14-second period. The wind lightens up to a moderate offshore breeze. This is going to give you clean, powerful waves with a bit less grunt. It's described as excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The spot can get a few people on it at times, but for this quality, it’s worth it.
The surf backs off a lot on Tuesday and Wednesday, then picks up again for Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September. That afternoon on the 3rd and Friday the 4th bring another pulse of 8ft swell with decent period and clean offshore wind. That's another excellent call for those who can handle it.
The second week looks smaller, with clean but fading surf. Nothing huge, but clean and rideable right through to the 11th.

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.
