Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this 16-day stretch, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at Fare Left, a solid reef set-up.
Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild to report there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are looking pretty average with small, messy waves and moderate cross-shore winds. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting around 481 to 656. It’s really not worth paddling out for.
We start to see a glimmer of hope on Wednesday morning the 8th. The wind shifts offshore from the East, and we get a clean 3ft swell from the SSE. The combined energy is still moderate at 482. However, the real standout for that day is the afternoon. The wind stays offshore from the East at 25 km/h (16 mph), and the swell drops to 2ft but the period jumps to a very long 20 seconds. That’s some serious groundswell energy coming in, with a combined energy of 553. This long period will likely make Fare Left, a reef, shape up nicely, offering clean lines despite the smaller size. It’s a small window of quality.
After that, things go a bit flat and inconsistent again through the 9th and 10th, with clean but small surf. Then Saturday the 11th is a no-go with onshore wind. Sunday the 12th brings a jump in energy, but it’s a cross-shore chop with a combined energy over 1000, so not the cleanest.
The next real highlight pops up on Tuesday morning, July 14th. This is the best on offer. We’ve got glassy conditions – absolute perfection – with a 6ft SSW swell. The combined energy is a strong 1537, showing there’s some real power behind it. That’s quality surf for experienced surfers on the reef.
The following Wednesday and Thursday, July 15th and 16th, see the swell building even more, hitting 8ft from the SSW. This is big, powerful stuff. The combined energy rockets up to 2626. This is expert territory only; it will be too big and heavy for anyone else. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, but the size is intimidating.
The swell eases back down towards the end of the week and the following weekend, with the 18th offering another promising afternoon with an offshore breeze and a 3ft SSE swell carrying a very long 15-second period. The combined energy is a solid 801. It’s a decent, clean option for the second week.
So, to wrap it up: don't bother with the early part of the week. The true standout is Tuesday morning, July 14th, for those glassy, 6ft conditions. For the big dogs, Wednesday and Thursday the 15th and 16th offer serious size, but you need to know what you’re doing. The rest of the window offers small, clean windows here and there.
Stay safe, 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.
