The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Fare Left.

The next couple of days are going to be a real mixed bag, with some proper size and power on the way, but the wind is gonna be the big talking point. We’ve got a strong, persistent cross-offshore breeze that’s going to keep things clean on the surface, but the wave quality itself is being described as marginal, so don’t expect perfection. The water is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Friday August 21st, we kick off with a solid 6ft southwest swell, but that 19 mph cross-off wind from the SSE is going to make it a bit of a battle. The combined energy is already pumping at 1184, so there’s plenty of push, but it’s not the easiest to manage. Saturday morning sees a jump in size to 7ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, giving it some real grunt. Energy reading hits 2210. Saturday afternoon drops back to 6ft. The standout window looks like Sunday August 23rd. By Sunday morning, the swell is 7ft, period stretches to 16 seconds, and the energy is at 2863. Then Sunday afternoon really lights up: 8ft of SSW swell, 16-second period, and a massive energy reading of 5747. This is easily the best on offer for the whole outlook in terms of pure power. Keep in mind, at 8ft, this is expert territory only. That long period also means the wave shape will be best on this reef setup, which is what you want.

Monday August 24th brings a shift with stronger 25 mph offshore winds from the east. The wave faces will be glassy and clean, but paddle-outs will be a serious mission. The swell stays solid at 8ft in the morning but drops to 6ft in the afternoon. From Tuesday August 25th, things start to wind down. The swell drops to 4ft, and the energy falls off a cliff. The wind stays strong and offshore, but with hardly any swell, it’s a write-off for a few days. Wednesday August 26th is tiny, under 3ft.

Thursday August 27th sees a little pulse return with 5ft to 5ft SSW swell, and clean offshore conditions, making for a decent, if not spectacular, surf day. The energy readings are moderate around 1174-1186.

We then get a big jump again for Saturday August 29th. Another 8ft SSW swell, with a very long 17-second period in the morning. Energy readings are high again at 3564. But the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-offshore. For this size and period, it’s going to be a big, powerful wave for experts only.

After that, the swell gradually fades through the end of August and into September. There’s a final interesting spike around Thursday September 4th, with a 6ft SSW swell and an 18-second period, combined with strong offshore winds. Energy is at 2151. That’s a promising looking day, with clean, lined-up waves, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not a sure bet.

Overall, Sunday August 23rd afternoon is the absolute standout for power and size if you’ve got the skill for it. Thursday September 4th afternoon is the other one to watch for cleaner, more manageable conditions later on.

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.
