The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Fare Left.

Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next week and a half is a bit of a grind for Fare Left. We’ve got a long wait before anything really gets going. There are pockets of clean surf, but the wind is often howling or the swell is too small to get excited about. The real standout is hiding near the very end of the window.

The first real surge of energy hits around Thursday the 13th. That’s where we see our first proper window. The sea is clean, with a moderate offshore breeze from the East at 12 mph, dropping to a gentle 9 mph in the afternoon. Swell is a solid 6ft to 5ft from the SSW, with a nice 14-second period. This is groundswell, and it’s got good energy (1257), making for some punchy, well-shaped waves on this reef. This is an advanced break for a reason – those 5-6ft sets have some power. Crowds can show up, so keep your eyes open. That Thursday morning looks like the best call of the first week, with fresh, clean conditions.

After that, the swell drops off noticeably. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th see the size falling to 4ft and then under 3ft, with the energy dropping to a weak 228. Winds turn cross-off and it gets choppier. Not worth the paddle. We then hit a flat spell from Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th. Energy stays low, and by the 19th, onshore winds ruin what little there is.

Then, things get interesting again. Thursday the 20th of August rolls around and a new SSW swell arrives, 8ft tall, with a 14-second period. The energy is pumping again (2609). But the wind is a fresh cross-off from the SSE at 19 mph. It’s clean but lumpy. That swell hangs around through the 21st.

Now, the real standout. Saturday the 22nd of August. This is the one. We’re looking at a huge SSW groundswell, 12ft at a 16-second period. The combined energy jumps to a massive 5616 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ESE at 12-16 mph. This is big-wave territory. Anything over 8ft is for experts only, and 12ft with that period is serious. The sets will be long and the wave faces will be huge. This is a day for the experienced crew only. The reef will be handling this well, but you need to know what you’re doing.

Sunday the 23rd holds big with 10ft, also from the SSW and a 16-second period, with a fresh offshore breeze. Another heavy day. The energy stays very strong (4467). Then the swell backs down slightly into the following Monday and Tuesday, still 7ft to 7ft, but the wind picks back up into the strong breeze range.

Water temp is 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit.

To sum it up: if you want the best quality with a manageable size and perfect wind, aim for the morning of Thursday 13th August. If you’re a big-wave charger and you want the purest power of the whole forecast, Saturday 22nd August is your day, but it’s one for the specialists.

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.
