The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the coming weeks out at Fare Left. This is a solid run of groundswell for the advanced crew, so if you’re not comfortable on a steep, fast reef slab, this isn’t your party.
The water is sitting at 80.1°F, which is pretty much bang on normal for this time of year. No wetsuit needed, just good timing.
It’s a slow start. Friday July 31st is a write-off with that 22 mph cross-off wind and messy conditions, so don’t bother paddling out. Things turn the corner on Sunday, August 2nd. That’s our first real window. The wind swings offshore from the ESE, about 16 mph, and we’ve got a clean 3.6 ft SSW groundswell pumping in with a solid 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate (816), and the waves will have real shape. This is a morning well spent for experienced surfers.
The best of the first week is shaping up for Wednesday, August 5th. The afternoon goes glassy – a 3 mph offshore breeze from the ESE, 3.9 ft S-SW swell at 12 seconds, and a clean lineup. That’s a standout session, crowd pending – it’s a spot that *sometimes* gets busy, so get out there early.
Thursday, August 6th morning gets serious. The swell jumps to 5.6 ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy kicks into strong territory (1913). That’s a big, powerful reef wave for experts only. Anything over 8.2 ft, which we see on Sunday the 9th (8.2 ft at 17 seconds, 3913 energy), is pure big-wave territory. That’s for the chargers, not the groms. The wind stays cross-off, so it’s clean but pushy.
Looking into the second week, it gets a bit more inconsistent. The standout from further out is Saturday, August 15th. We’re looking at a 7.9 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, moderate energy (2099), but the wind is a stiff 22 mph cross-off from the SE. It’s rideable for the experienced, but the wind is going to make it a battle. It’s a promising long-range call, but less certain.
There are a few gaps in the middle of the second week where the swell drops right off and the conditions turn poor – nothing worth paddling for. All in all, the first week is your best bet. Lock in those Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday sessions.
Stay salty.

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.
