The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Fare Left over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a slow start, but this reef set-up is a classic for a reason. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real action doesn’t kick off until Saturday afternoon, September 5th. That’s when the swell starts to really show its teeth. We’re looking at a solid 6 ft of SSW groundswell, with a long 14 second period, and the wind is offshore from the East at 16 mph. That’s going to put some serious shape into those waves. The combined energy is pumping at 1301 (moderate to strong), and for a spot like Fare Left that loves a bit of SW direction, this is a proper standout. This is for the experienced crew only, trust me.
The following week is where it gets really interesting. Sunday, September 13th, is the one to circle on the calendar. Morning sees a clean 4 ft of SSW groundswell, a long 20 second period, and a glassy offshore breeze from the ENE at just 9 mph. The combined energy is a meaty 1431 (strong). The afternoon gets even better: 5 ft, 19 seconds, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph offshore. This is clean, powerful, and lining up perfectly for the reef. This is your absolute best bet for the whole forecast.
Then Monday, September 14th, keeps the momentum going. Another 5 ft to 6 ft of SW groundswell, with a 17 second period, and light winds again. The energy stays high (1484 and 1626), and the conditions will be excellent. It’s a proper run of quality surf for those who can handle it.
There’s a bit of a gap in the middle of the first week, from Wednesday the 2nd right through to Friday the 4th, where the conditions are a bit average or the swell is still building. But once it turns on, it stays on. The second week sees the swell drop a little but still offering solid, clean options right through to the 17th, though the energy drops off a bit by Thursday afternoon.
So, the standout is Sunday the 13th, with Saturday the 5th and Monday the 14th as top runners-up. Get after it, but don’t take a beginner – this is a reef for the advanced.
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.
