The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Fare Left over the next couple of weeks. It's a solid run of groundswell, so get ready.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but the wait is worth it. From Thursday the 10th, there are small clean waves in the water, with a 3ft SSW swell and a light cross-off breeze, but the real juice kicks in from the weekend.
The standout window is from Monday the 14th through Tuesday the 15th. Monday morning delivers a clean, 5ft SW swell with light offshore winds and very strong wave energy (1233). This is proper point-and-shoot stuff for an advanced crew. Tuesday the 15th is even bigger, with a 6ft to 6ft SSW groundswell (energy hitting 1840-1906) and light cross-off breezes. That is expert territory. The water is a warm 80°, about average for this time of year, so no need for a steamer.
After that, the swell hangs in at 7ft+ through Thursday the 17th, but winds get stronger from the SSE, making it a bit more of a battle. There's a noticeable drop in consistency and quality, with the 7ft swell on Wednesday the 16th still carrying very strong energy (2510) but the wind turning it into a handful for anyone but the experienced locals.
By Sunday the 20th, things settle down again. The morning brings a clean 4ft S swell with moderate offshore wind, which cleans up the leftovers. But don't sleep on the second half of the month.
Looking ahead to Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September, we have another absolute cracker. Monday the 21st is looking mint with a 6ft SSW groundswell, light offshore wind, and extreme energy readings (2625). Then Tuesday the 22nd kicks off in perfect glassy conditions – literally 0 wind – with a 6ft SSW swell (1763 energy). That is about as clean as it gets for an advanced wave. If you can only paddle out once in this whole run, make it Tuesday the 22nd of September. Just be aware that crowds are possible here.
Later in the week, on Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th, the swell stays solid (6ft to 8ft) with fresh offshore winds, keeping the peaks lined up but the energy is so strong it’s for the brave-hearted only.
Bottom line: We've got a two-week block of solid, long-period SW groundswell. The best of it is the window around the 14th-15th and then again on the 21st-22nd. Don't expect to be alone, but if you're advanced and you want a proper reef setup, this is your time.

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.
