The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Fare Left. This is a solid, advanced reef break that’s fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the SW swell. The water temp is sitting at 81° with just a tiny anomaly of 0.7°, so it’s pretty much average for the time of year – no surprises there.
The outlook kicks off on Monday, 13 July, but honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start. That first week is a mix of average to mediocre conditions. The swell is there, around 5ft to 7ft, mostly from the SSW, and the energy is strong (between 1456 and 2075), but the wind is a real problem. Cross-on, cross-shore, and choppy conditions keep the quality down. Nothing to get excited about until Wednesday morning, 15 July when we get a bit of a cleaner look with a cross-off breeze and 6ft SSW swell, but even then, it’s not a standout.
Thursday, 16 July, brings a decent bump in size and period – 6ft to 8ft S swell with a 16-second period, combined energy hitting 2909. That’s a lot of power, but it’s still not the cleanest. The best window in the first week is actually the morning of Thursday, 23 July. That’s the one. We’ve got a solid 8ft S swell with a 16-second period, strong offshore winds from the ESE, and the energy is pumping at 3059. It’s a little on the bigger side, so this is for experienced surfers only, but it’s the cleanest, most powerful session in the whole run. The wind is offshore, and the waves should be holding up well on the reef.
You’ll notice a gap from Friday, 24 July through to pretty much the end of the month. The swell drops off, and while the wind stays offshore, the sizes get small. There’s a little pulse on the 26th with 10ft SE swell, but the period is short (9 seconds) and it’s a bit messy. The last few days of the month are tiny, with 1ft to 2ft SSW swell – not worth paddling out for.
The only real standout here is Thursday, 23 July morning. The wind is offshore, the swell is solid, and the period is long. It’s the best of the lot. If you can wait, that’s your call. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
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.
