The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Fare Left over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s a mixed bag with the wind. The water is sitting at 81°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The best window looks to be the stretch from Thursday the 16th through to the 22nd, with some decent energy, but we’ve got to pick our moments. The standout is definitely Thursday the 16th morning. We’ve got a solid 7ft S swell with a 16-second period, which is proper groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 3021 (moderate to strong). The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSE, so the reef at Fare Left should be absolutely firing. This is the one to circle. The longer period means those waves will have plenty of punch and shape, but that long period can also make them a bit walled at certain spots, though for a reef setup like Fare Left, it’s a dream.
Right after that, we’ve got a gap. The Friday the 17th morning is still okay with 7ft S swell and cross-off wind, but it’s a step down in energy. Saturday the 18th is still rideable but fading. From Sunday the 19th into Monday the 20th, the swell dips and the energy drops off a cliff, but Monday afternoon sees a very long-period 22-second swell coming in, which is exciting but rare. That’s for the 20th of July afternoon.
Then we get into the next week, from the 21st of July onwards. The swell sticks around in the 6ft to 8ft range, but the wind gets a lot stronger. Fresh breezes from the SSE and SE will keep the face clean, but it’ll be a bit of a battle. The real highlight there is the 23rd of July morning and afternoon. The wind shifts to a true offshore from the E and ESE, blowing at 19 mph, with a 8ft SSW swell. That’s going to be clean and powerful, but only for the experienced crew. Anything over 8ft later in the 26th and 27th is expert territory, and the wind turns onshore, making it messy.
To be honest, this break is a reef setup, so the crowds can be a factor sometimes. Get there early for the best of it. Overall, if you can only paddle out once, make it Thursday the 16th morning. That’s your best bet.
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.
