The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The whole period is all about one spot: Fare Left. It’s a reef break for the advanced crew, wide open to the SW – exactly where the best swell is coming from. That direction lock is the key.
Sunday the 13th kicks off clean. A nice 3ft SSW groundswell with a super long 19-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 823. Winds are light offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, so the face will be glassy. Water temp is 80°, right on average. That long period means sets will be spaced out, but the quality will be high.
Sunday afternoon holds up with 4ft swell, 18-second period, and light offshore breeze. A few showers might roll through, but the surf is very good.
Monday the 14th is a step down. Swell builds to 4ft, energy climbs, but the wind goes cross. Not terrible, but not the perfection we had.
Tuesday the 15th is the standout. Morning has 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period. Combined energy is strong at 1840. Winds are light cross-off from the SSE at only 3 mph. That’s excellent for a reef. Excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon stays clean and the swell pushes to 6ft.
Wednesday the 16th sees the swell grow past 7ft. Morning is 7ft, clean. By afternoon it’s 8ft with offshore wind. That’s expert-only territory.
From Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th, the swell holds between 5ft and 8ft, but the wind picks up from the SE at 9 to 16 mph and the period drops. Still clean cross-off, but the magic is gone.
Sunday the 20th drops to 3ft with a short 10-second period. Offshore wind is back, but it’s small.
Monday the 21st offers a tiny 3ft groundswell with a 16-second period. Clean, offshore. Fun if you’re on a log.
Tuesday the 22nd sees a pulse of 5ft SW with a 15-second period and offshore wind at 16 mph. Energy is up to 922. That’s the best of the second week.
Wednesday the 23rd through Friday the 25th stays between 3ft and 4ft with solid periods and clean offshore winds. Consistent, not pumping.
Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th bring a size jump. Saturday hits 5ft to 6ft with strong energy and offshore wind, but flagged as marginal. Sunday the 27th reaches 6ft with energy over 2100, but the wind turns cross and then cross-shore.
Monday the 28th fades to 5ft to 5ft with shorter period and light cross-shore wind. Mediocre.
Best on offer: Tuesday the 15th – 6ft to 6ft, long period, light wind. Wednesday the 16th afternoon for experts only. In the second week, Tuesday the 22nd is promising but not locked in.
Fare Left is fairly consistent but can be fickle. When it’s on, it’s on.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
