The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty.
The surf at Fare Left starts off a little average, but the first proper highlight pops up on Wednesday, August 20th. The morning delivers a clean 1.9m swell out of the southwest, with glassy conditions and the combined energy sitting at a strong 1571. This is it for experienced surfers who can handle a fairly consistent reef. Water temp is about 80°, which is average for this time of year. It’s a spot that sees a crowd sometimes, so you’ll want to be early.
From Thursday, August 21st through Sunday, August 24th, the swell holds steady around 2.0m to 2.2m from the SSW, with mostly offshore winds keeping things tidy. The energy is strong, up in the thousands. Good for the advanced crew, but anything over 2.5m is expert territory only.
Tuesday, August 25th kicks off a poor stretch. The swell drops to 1.1m or less, and while the offshore winds are strong, they’re so gusty it’s tough to paddle in. Wave energy falls off a cliff. This low-quality spell runs for several days.
Then, on Sunday, August 31st and into Monday, September 1st, the swell jumps to 2.5m from the south with an 18-second period – massive groundswell and energy over 4000. This is strictly for experts, and those long-period waves can get a bit tricky on the reef, but the offshore wind will have it looking clean. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
That fades into early September with smaller, weaker swells. On those strong-wind, low-swell days, you might as well rig up a kite.
The one to circle is Wednesday morning, August 20th.

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.
