The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Fare Left over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, there’s a bit of a quiet start. Friday afternoon the 24th has a little bump at 4.3ft but it’s a messy stormy setup, so I’d sit it out. The real action kicks off Saturday morning the 25th. That’s when it starts to get interesting. We’ve got a clean 4.6ft SW groundswell rolling in with a good 14-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the south. That’s the kind of morning you paddle out before anyone else. The water’s sitting at 79.5°, which is bang on average for this time of year. The energy is already pumping (651 to 777).

Saturday afternoon builds to 5.9ft with a cross-shore breeze, still plenty of push from the SW, but it gets a little more jumbled. Then Sunday the 26th is a standout: the swell hits 6.9ft in the morning, still solidly from the SSW, period dropping slightly to 13 seconds, but the wind is clean cross-off from the SSE. This is premium advanced territory – not for beginners, with waves over 5ft. The energy jumps into the 1400s, making for some powerful, punchy reefs. Both morning and afternoon sessions on the 26th are rated excellent for experienced surfers.

Monday the 27th brings clean offshore ENE winds, dropping the swell back to 5.2ft and then 4.6ft in the afternoon. Still very good, with period holding around 11-12 seconds. It fades into Tuesday and Wednesday morning, but Wednesday the 29th is worth a look: the swell bumps back up to 5.6ft, period back to 12 seconds, and the wind turns glassy again in the afternoon with a SE breeze. That afternoon session on the 29th is about as clean as it gets, with near-perfect conditions for the reef.

Thursday the 30th holds steady at 5.2-5.6ft and clean cross-off winds, but the energy drops a bit. From Friday the 31st into the first week of August, things get rough. The wind picks up strong from the SE, hitting 18-22 mph, and while the swell stays around 3.3-8.2ft, the quality is poor to marginal. That stretch from July 31 through August 4 is a write-off for good surf – the wind is just too fresh and onshore-angled, and the energy is all over the place. The exception is August 3 afternoon when the swell jumps to 8.2ft but comes from the SE with only 8-second period – that’s a mushy, blown-out mess better suited for kites than paddles.

Then we get a glimmer late in the window. On August 6 and 7, the swell direction swings back to the SSW and the period opens up to 15-21 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell. August 6 morning has 5.6ft at 18 seconds with offshore ENE winds, energy in the 1800s, but still rated marginal for tide issues. That said, for a reef break like Fare Left, that long period will wrap in nicely. August 7 afternoon is a true standout: only 3ft but with a 21-second period and offshore wind – that’s a super clean, lined-up wave with very long waits between sets. Combined energy is 1366, so there’s plenty of push for the size. Then August 8 morning has 6.2ft at 17 seconds with clean cross-off wind, and the afternoon turns offshore with ENE winds again. The energy is over 2100 on the morning of the 8th, a real beast of a swell.

So, the top picks for the whole window: Sunday the 26th for solid, powerful waves with good wind, and then the August 7 afternoon session for that ultra-clean, long-period groundswell that the reef will turn into perfection. Crowds at Fare Left can pop up sometimes, so get in early on those glassy mornings.

If you’re not an advanced surfer, skip anything over 5ft, and definitely don’t go near the 6.6ft+ days on the 26th and August 8th – those are expert-only territory.

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.
