The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Fare Left. This is a proper reef setup for the advanced crew. It needs a good SW swell and clean conditions to really fire, and we’ve got a bit of a slow start before the real action shows up.

Right now, there’s nothing doing. The first few days are a write-off: Wednesday the 29th through Friday the 1st of August are all marginal at best. The swell is small on Wednesday, with 4 ft from the SW, but the wind is cross-shore on the morning and cross-on in the arvo. Thursday the 30th bumps up to 6-6 ft from the SSW with a cross-off breeze, but the reports still say marginal. It’s not worth paddling out. Friday the 31st drops back to 4-4 ft and the wind is howling from the SE at 22 mph. Hard pass.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. From Saturday the 1st of August morning, the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, and the swell settles at 4 ft from the S. The water temp is average for this time of year. That offshore breeze is a huge positive. The swell energy is moderate (767), and it’s clean. This pattern holds through Sunday and Monday, with clean offshore winds and a persistent 3-4 ft swell from the S-SSW. The crowd factor is listed as sometimes, so you might get a few waves to yourself. But honestly, the energy is marginal, and the period is solid around 13-15 seconds, which is nice, but the size is small. Not a standout.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 6th of August. This is the big one. The morning shows 8 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. That’s very long-period groundswell. The combined energy is massive (3937), and the report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. The wind is light cross-off from the ESE at just 9 mph, so it’s going to be clean. At 8 ft, this is expert territory – too big for beginners. The break’s optimum swell direction is SW, and this is coming from the SSW, which is very close. The period is so long that at a reef like Fare Left, it should set up beautifully with those long lines, but the sets will be spaced out. Paddling out will be easier because of those gaps. The afternoon bumps to 10 ft, same direction, but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-off. It’s still good for the experts, but the morning is the peak.

Friday the 7th through the weekend stays solid with 7-8 ft from the SSW, but the wind gets stronger, up to 19-22 mph from the SE to E. It’s still offshore or cross-off, but that much wind will put some texture on the face. The energy levels are still high (2000-2900), so the swell is there, but the quality dips compared to that Thursday morning. This is a good run for anyone who can handle it, but Thursday the 6th morning is the clear best on offer.

After that, it fades. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th drop to 4-5 ft and the wind goes cross and cross-on, so the quality falls off a cliff. Wednesday the 12th is very small at 2-3 ft. The last entry on Thursday the 13th shows 4 ft from the SSW with a cross-off breeze, but it’s only a one-pointer.

So here’s the takeaway: the first week is mostly a miss until the 6th of August, which is a genuine standout for experts. If you’re keen, that Thursday is your day. The rest is just waiting or small waves.

Stay safe out there.

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.
