The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up.

We’re looking at a solid run of groundswell at Fare Left, a classic advanced reef setup. The pattern kicks off with building energy through the first few days, hitting a peak mid-week, then easing off before a second pulse arrives in the second week. The water temperature is 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action starts Thursday morning, September 3rd, with a 5ft SSW groundswell at 15 seconds. The ESE wind is cross-off, so it’s clean but not perfect. Combined energy is a moderate 889. By Thursday afternoon, the swell pushes to 6ft and the energy jumps to 1299, still cross-off. Not the best of the run, but a sign of things to come.

Friday, September 4th, is where it gets interesting. The swell hits 8ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period, and the wind shifts to offshore from the ESE at 19-22 mph. That’s fresh offshore and clean. The energy is strong at 2720. This is a standout for experienced surfers. 8ft SSW, offshore, clean – that’s a proper session. Saturday morning, September 5th, holds 7ft SSW, still offshore, moderate breeze, energy at 1693. Saturday afternoon cleans up further with a gentle offshore, 6ft SSW, and the energy at 1435. Right now, the best on offer is the Friday and Saturday window: solid size, clean offshore wind, and a long-period groundswell.

Sunday, September 6th, the swell drops to 5ft, wind stays gentle offshore, and the energy is 700. Still good, clean lines, but the power is fading. Monday, September 7th, sees a sharp drop. Swell down to 3ft, and the wind turns cross-off with rain showers. The energy is a weak 366. Tuesday, September 8th, is even smaller – 2ft to 2ft – with fresh offshore wind but hardly any push. The energy is 221 to 392. From Monday to Wednesday, September 9th and 10th, the swell stays in the 2ft to 3ft range, with energy between 116 and 510. It’s clean but small. Thursday, September 10th, has a 3ft SSW swell with offshore wind, but the energy is only 310. Not much to write home about.

Then we get a gap. Friday, September 11th, and Saturday, September 12th morning, the swell is barely 2ft to 2ft, with energy as low as 74. Ordinary conditions. But hold on – Saturday afternoon, September 12th, the swell jumps to 2ft but the period is a massive 23 seconds, and the energy is 425. That’s a very long-period groundswell arriving, but it’s small. The real return comes Sunday, September 13th. The swell bumps to 4ft to 4ft, period 20 seconds, and the energy is 1369. Monday, September 14th, is the second standout: 4ft SSW, 18 seconds, clean offshore wind, energy at 1431. This is excellent for experienced surfers.

Tuesday, September 15th afternoon, the swell is 6ft SW, with very light offshore wind (3 mph), almost glassy. The energy is 1531. That’s a magic window. Wednesday, September 16th, the swell reaches 7ft SSW, with moderate offshore wind in the morning, energy at 1691. This is solid, but the wind shifts cross-off in the afternoon, so the morning is the pick. Thursday, September 17th, the swell holds at 7ft, but the wind is a strong cross-off at 22 mph, making it a bit lumpy. The energy drops to 1378. Friday, September 18th, the swell fades to 5ft, with cross-off wind and light rain, energy down to 679. By Friday afternoon, it’s a poor 4ft with rain, energy 568.

The overall best of the whole forecast is the Friday/Saturday window (September 4th-5th) and the Monday/Tuesday window (September 14th-15th). For a true standout, I’d say Friday, September 4th, with 8ft offshore SSW groundswell, clean and powerful. That’s the one to circle. The second standout is Tuesday, September 15th afternoon, with 6ft SW, near-glass conditions, and excellent energy.

Remember, this is an advanced reef break. Swell over 8ft is for experts only, and we hit 8ft, so it’s serious. The long-period groundswell (15-20 seconds) means the waves will have real push and shape, but at a reef like Fare Left, it’ll be a proper show. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep that in mind.

Stay stoked, and get out there when it’s clean.

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.
