The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Fare Left has cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that lives for a solid SW groundswell, and the first few days are a bit of a tease. Swell is there but tiny—like knee to waist-high at best (0.7–0.9 ft)—and the energy readings are low, in the hundreds, so there’s just not enough push. The wind is mostly cross-off or light offshore, so the surface is clean, but you’re gonna be waiting around for something to ride.
The real standout hits on Sunday the 13th of September into Monday the 14th. Sunday morning brings a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell with a long 19-second period, gentle offshore breeze, and the energy bumps up to 831—moderate but solid for this wave. Then Monday the 14th is the gem: 5 ft SSW swell, 17-second period, light breeze, and energy reading jumps to 1156 in the morning and 1254 in the afternoon. The word is excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The reef should be pumping with clean, lined-up walls. Water temp is 79°F, which is about normal for the season—no shocks there. But remember, this is an advanced wave; it’s not for beginners.
After Monday, the swell stays chunky at 6–6 ft on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the wind picks up to a fresh cross-off from the SSE at 18–22 mph. Energy is strong (over 1500–2000), but that breeze will mess with the surface and make it a grind. By Thursday the 17th, we’ve still got 5–6 ft, but the energy is dropping and the wind is still fresh—marginal at best. The second week fades fast, with swell shrinking to 2–4 ft and low energy, and by the 23rd and 24th it’s basically flat and poor. There’s a little blip on the 20th with a 4 ft SSW and long period, but it’s not enough to be a standout.
Crowds are possible, so expect some company, but on the Monday 14th with that quality, it’s worth sharing the peak. Bottom line: get out there Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th—those are your tickets.
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.
