The Lowdown
Alright, listen up folks, let's talk Fare Left over the next couple of weeks. There's a solid stretch of groundswell coming in, and the water's a nice 80°, which is pretty standard for this time of year. The wave energy is gonna be pumping, so this isn't a place for beginners.
It starts off a bit weak on Monday the 14th afternoon with a light cross-onshore breeze. Forget that. The real deal is Tuesday the 15th morning. It's flat calm, glassy, with a solid 6ft swell from the SW, a long 16-second period, and energy reading 1861. That's a proper groundswell on a reef, meaning long, shapely walls. This is an advanced spot, so be ready.
The wind shifts offshore from the east on Wednesday the 16th, blowing at 6-9 mph, and the swell jumps to 7ft to 8ft, with energy hitting 2902. That's big, clean, and powerful – only for the experienced crew. Thursday the 17th gets a bit messier as the wind picks up and swings cross-offshore, and the quality fades through the weekend with moderate breezes and dropping swell size.
Come Saturday the 19th afternoon, things clean up again with an offshore breeze and 5ft of SSW swell, but the fire's gone. The second week has a couple of nice windows: Tuesday the 22nd afternoon turns glassy again with a tiny 3ft SW swell – small but perfect – and Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th both offer clean, offshore conditions with 4ft to 5ft SW groundswell. Those are worth a look, though they're a bit less certain this far out.
The absolute standout is Tuesday the 15th morning. Glassy, 6ft of long-period groundswell coming from the SW, and a reef that eats it up. That's the session. Wednesday the 16th is a close second if you want more size and don't mind a bit more crowd.

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.
