The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here, looking at the lineup at Fare Left. This is a reef that keeps you honest, and it’s been a dead start, but we’ve got some life coming.
The first real action is on Thursday, the 30th of July. The morning brings a clean 6ft swell from the SSW with a light cross-off breeze. The water is a normal 80°F for this time of year. The energy is moderate (922), but it’s a solid start.
We skip the choppy stuff on Friday the 31st.
The first standout is the afternoon of Wednesday, the 5th of August. The wind goes gentle offshore, and we get a clean 5ft SW swell with a 12-second period. The energy is strong (898). This is the one for the advanced crew.
But the big daddy is the morning of Friday, the 7th of August. We’re talking a 10ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The energy is absolutely massive at 6056. This is experts only, and the wind is a slight air, cross-off, so it’ll be glassy. The long period means it’ll wrap around the reef perfectly, but the sets will be waiting.
After that, things settle, but the morning of Wednesday, the 12th of August, gives us a good, clean 4ft SSW swell with a moderate offshore wind.
So, the two best calls: the afternoon of the 5th of August for a clean, solid session, and the morning of the 7th of August for the big, serious groundswell. Crowds are sometimes here, so expect a few heads.

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.
