The Lowdown

Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Fare Left. This reef break is our main focus for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a spot that demands respect – an advanced wave, exposed to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent, so it’ll keep offering. The water temps are sitting around 81°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year – feels alright, a bit of tropical warmth.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start though. The first real action worth getting excited about kicks off on Sunday, 23 August with a solid 8ft SSW groundswell, long period of 16 seconds, packing a massive punch of energy (3228 combined energy). The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 19 mph, so the face will be clean but there’s a bit of chop. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum SW, and that period is long enough to carve proper lines on the reef. Sunday afternoon sees the energy jump to 5747 – that’s powerful, heavy stuff. It’s a standout for the first week, but this is a big wave for experienced surfers only; over 8ft is expert territory.

Monday the 24th brings even more size – 10ft from the S with a 14-second period, but the wind cranks up to 25 mph from the ESE and it’s raining. The energy is massive (3559), but the strong breeze makes it a messy, tough paddle. The scores drop quickly. Tuesday the 25th drops to 5ft, but the wind is still howling cross-off, and the energy falls back to 975. Not much to write home about.

Wednesday and Thursday are weak – under 3ft and then 4ft, with strong winds and cross-off conditions. The energy is low (279 to 1072). It’s very marginal, and honestly, I’d be looking at other things.

Then we get a sniff of something better. Saturday, 29 August – 10ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period, and the wind finally turns offshore from the ESE at 25 mph. The energy is wild (4451 combined), and the morning is described as “strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into.” That’s a classic reef break scenario – big, clean, but you’ll be working for it. This is the standout of the first week for those who can handle the size. The wind stays offshore through Sunday the 30th, with 10ft S swell and similar energy. It’s a window of proper, powerful waves.

The first week of September sees that swell settle. Monday the 31st has 7ft S swell and offshore winds, clean and rideable. The morning of Thursday, 3 September is interesting – only 4ft swell, but the period jumps to a massive 23 seconds, and the energy is 2440. That’s a very long-period groundswell, and the reef at Fare Left will handle it beautifully, focusing that energy into thick, lined-up waves. The wind is light offshore, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a real standout in the second week.

Friday, 4 September brings back the size – 10ft from the SSW at 17 seconds, with offshore winds and big energy (4857). Saturday the 5th is a bit smaller but still clean, with a long-period 22-second swell on the afternoon giving 2785 energy. Then Sunday, 6 September afternoon looks like the pick of the later period: 8ft SSW at 18 seconds, with a clean offshore breeze and the highest score in the whole forecast – excellent conditions for experienced surfers.

Throughout the second week, the wind is mostly offshore or light cross-off, and the swell direction stays in the SSW to S range, which is perfect for this break. The energy values are consistently in the thousands (strong to very strong). The only real caveat is that the swell sometimes gets over 8ft, so it’s expert-only on those days. Crowds are only *sometimes* an issue, so you might find a bit of company, but nothing crazy.

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.
