Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fare Left over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the same stretch of water for Fare Left, but in feet and knots.
The water temp is sitting right around 81°, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing weird.
Overall, the next 16 days are a slow starter. The first few days are small and clean, but the real juice doesn’t show up until the middle of next week. The best window looks like it’s shaping up around the 14th of July through to the 18th, with a powerful swell kicking in.
Thursday morning the 9th of July is a nice little starter. We’ve got a 3-foot swell from the SW, with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the E at 16 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and the wave energy is moderate (481). Not huge, but for a reef break like Fare Left, that long period groundswell will wrap in beautifully. The only thing is, it’s an advanced spot and it can get crowded sometimes, so pick your peak.
Friday the 10th is a bit of a write-off – the swell drops, the wind turns cross, and the quality goes. Saturday and Sunday are messy with onshore winds, so let’s skip those.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday morning the 13th of July, we start seeing a bump in size, with 5-foot swell from the SW, period around 13 seconds, and light cross-shore winds. The energy is building (1383), and it’s getting more powerful. But the real standout is Tuesday morning the 14th of July. The swell is 7 feet from the SSW, with a 12-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE at only 6 mph. The wave energy is strong (1983), and conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the forecast – clean, powerful, and with that solid groundswell, Fare Left will be handling it well. Just remember, over 5 feet is getting big for beginners, and at 7 feet, this is one for the crew who know what they’re doing.
The following days, from the 15th to the 18th, keep the swell up between 5 feet and 8 feet, with mostly clean cross-offshore winds, but the wind gets stronger as we go. By the 16th, we’re seeing fresh breezes, and the 17th has some lumpy cross-shore chop. The energy is massive – on the 16th afternoon it hits 3009 – but the wind makes it challenging.
After the 19th, the swell drops back down, and the last week of the window is smaller and less consistent, with some clean but weaker days. The 21st of July morning has a 6-foot SSE swell with offshore winds, so that’s a decent follow-up, but the energy is lower (974).
So, to wrap it up: the best surfing is going to be Tuesday morning the 14th of July. That’s the day to clear your schedule and get out there. The early morning of the 9th is a nice bonus if you want a smaller, cleaner warm-up. After that, it’s a mix of powerful but wind-affected days until the 18th, then a quieter spell.
Stay safe out there, and remember – Fare Left is a reef, so know your line-up.
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.
