The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the rundown on your local waves. There’s some decent surf lined up, but you gotta be patient for the real meat.
Right now, Fare Left (a reef break for the advanced crew) is showing chest high waves at 4 ft out of the south. The water temp is around 80° – nice and normal for this time of year. It’s small but clean with a light offshore breeze from the east. Just a little taste of what’s to come.
Tuesday afternoon drops to 2 ft, but don’t sleep on it – that’s a long period groundswell from the southwest with a 19-second pulse and moderate energy. The wind is light and cross-off, so those little waves will be peeling nicely. Wednesday and Thursday are a bit of a write-off; the wind picks up and the swell hovers around 3 ft to 4 ft – clean enough for a paddle but nothing special.
Now, Friday the 13th into Sunday the 15th sees a proper rise. Friday morning has gentle offshore winds with 2 ft of swell, and Sunday morning jumps to 3 ft with a 19-second period from the SSW. The energy is building – hitting 707 Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon pushes to 4 ft with cleaner cross-off winds. This is where the quality starts to appear.
The big standout is Monday the 16th. We’re looking at 5 ft of SW groundswell with a 17-second period and very light cross-off winds. The energy reading is 1266 – that’s a solid, powerful swell. This is for experienced surfers only; over 5 ft on a reef is no joke. Expect well-defined, grunty walls and a bit of crowd competition. That Monday session is the top of the list.
Tuesday the 17th keeps the size at 6 ft, but the SSE wind picks up to 19-31 mph, making it choppier and more of a battle. Wednesday and Thursday stay big and windy (up to 7 ft and 31 mph winds), which is more about surviving than carving.
As we head toward the weekend of the 21st, the swell drops back to 3 ft to 4 ft. There is a real sleeper on Tuesday the 24th: glassy conditions with an easterly breeze at just 3 mph and 4 ft of SSW swell, giving a moderate energy reading of 982. That’s a long-range promise with cleaner potential. The final stretch on Wednesday the 23rd shows 5 ft but with onshore wind, spoiling the party.
So, the takeaway: Monday the 16th is your money day for clean, powerful waves. Tuesday the 24th is a wild card worth keeping an eye on. The rest is mostly small or bumpy, but it’s never flat for long around here.
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.
