Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fare Left over the next 16 days.
Right, listen up. Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up for Fare Left, but you’ve got to be patient and pick your windows. The first few days are a bit of a tease, but the back half of this forecast period is where the real magic happens.
The week kicks off with a slow start. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th have some clean, offshore winds, but the swell is small and mixed. Thursday morning is the better of the two, with a 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in from a long 18 seconds, and the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year. The combined energy is moderate (595), but the waves are just too small to get excited about. Friday the 10th through Sunday the 12th is a write-off – onshore winds, chop, and poor conditions. You can safely give that stretch a miss.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. From Monday the 13th, the swell starts to build. Monday is still a bit messy with cross-onshore winds, but the combined energy jumps up to 1647, meaning there’s real power in the water. The real standout window opens on Tuesday the 14th. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, 6ft of SSW swell, and a combined energy of 1974. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The swell is getting big, over 5ft, so it’s not a beginner wave. The period is a solid 13 seconds, so you’re getting proper groundswell with good shape. It’s a reef break, so it will handle that long-period energy well, but be aware it can get a bit fat and straight at the peak. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so expect company.
The best of the best, though, is shaping up for Wednesday the 15th. The afternoon session looks absolutely prime. You’ve got an 8ft SSW swell, big and powerful, with a 14-second period and a clean offshore wind from the ESE. The combined energy is a massive 2725 – that’s serious, strong wave energy. The comment says “excellent for experienced surfers,” and it’s no joke. This is an expert-only day. The swell is over 8ft, so it’s big and powerful, and only for those who know what they’re doing on a reef. Thursday the 16th morning is still very good, with 7ft clean waves, but the wind shifts onshore later in the day.
The energy drops a bit after that, but we get another clean run from Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th. Monday morning the 20th has a 6ft S swell with a 12-second period and clean offshore winds, giving you a combined energy of 1086. It’s a solid, fun day that’s more manageable for a confident intermediate.
The very end of the run, Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd, fades out with small, choppy, and onshore conditions. The last real chance is Thursday the 23rd morning, which has a 3ft swollen from a very long 17 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and light, so it’s a gamble.
So, to wrap it up: forget the first week. The standout is the afternoon of Wednesday the 15th of July for the big, clean, expert-only waves. Tuesday the 14th and Monday the 20th are your next best bets for clean, powerful surf that’s still demanding but a little more forgiving.
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.
