The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Fare Left over the next two weeks.
We’re kicking off with a bit of a flat spell. Friday the 31st of July through to Monday the 3rd of August has some swell, but the wind is chewing it up. Friday morning brings a 4ft SW swell (combined energy of 832), but with a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the SE, it’s going to be bumpy and disappointing. The whole first weekend is similar – small, weak waves with moderate to fresh winds making it a struggle. Don’t bother paddling out until the wind settles.
The first real chance for a decent wave comes Monday afternoon, the 3rd of August. The wind drops to a moderate 12 mph offshore from the ESE, and the swell is a clean 3ft from the S at 14 seconds. That’s real groundswell (combined energy of 598), and the forecast is calling for good conditions. Not a classic, but a step in the right direction.
Now, here’s the one you’ve been waiting for. Thursday the 6th of August is the standout. Thursday morning, the swell jumps to a solid 7ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy is a heavy 2349. The wind is dead glassy – 3 mph offshore from the E. That’s as good as it gets for Fare Left. It’s a reef break, so that long-period energy will produce clean, hollow, powerful lines. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft in the afternoon, hitting 8ft. Thursday afternoon pushes 8ft (combined energy of 3005) with a 16-second period and a light 6 mph cross-off. This is the best window of the whole forecast. Do not miss it.
The following week keeps the energy pumping. Sunday the 9th of August has a serious 7ft to 8ft SSW swell (combined energy of 3002 to 3433) with fresh 19 mph offshore winds from the ENE. That’s clean, powerful, and all yours if you’re experienced. The week after, around Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August, you’ll see another pulse of 8ft to 8ft S swell (combined energy over 3500) with moderate offshore winds. Good, but the wind is a bit more side-off, so not the absolute perfection of the 6th.
After the 12th, it fades again. By the 15th of August, we’re back to small 3ft SSW swell (combined energy of 261) and gentle breezes. A quiet end to the run.
Rusty out.

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.
