The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at the next couple of weeks for our stretch of coast. It’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but there’s some serious size and power coming through, so keep your eyes peeled.

The first few days are pretty quiet. We’ve got a little bump of swell showing on Tuesday morning, but it’s small. The highlight of that early run is Wednesday afternoon, when a clean 2ft SSW groundswell rolls in with a proper 20-second period. It’s a long wait between sets, but the lines will be clean and the light offshore wind will make the surface glassy. Good time for a cruise on a longboard.

The real story starts Thursday, August 6th. The swell jumps up to a solid 7ft from the SSW, with the energy reading hitting 2322. It’s getting powerful. By Friday, it’s pushing 8ft to 8ft, and the offshore wind is holding it clean. This is when Fare Left starts to show its teeth. It’s a proper advanced reef break, and with this much push, it’s not for the faint of heart. The wave energy is strong, readings in the 2425 to 2599 range, and it’s just wall-to-wall action. If you’re confident in your surfing, this is the session you’ve been waiting for.

Saturday morning holds that size, around 8ft, and it’s still clean with an offshore wind. It’s a top-tier window. But then the wind swings and the whole thing gets a bit messy. Sunday, August 9th, the swell maxes out at a chunky 12ft, and the energy reading is a massive 6414. This is huge, powerful surf. But the wind is howling at 45 km/h, which is going to tear it to shreds. The conditions will be raw and unruly. This is not the day for a paddle; it looks more like a kite-surfing day with that much wind and swell. The size is also well over the 8ft mark, so this is strictly for experts, and even then, it’s marginal at best.

The start of the second week is a write-off. The wind stays strong and the surf gets lumpy and messy. Tuesday, August 11th, the wind calms back to an offshore breeze, and there’s still a solid 7ft of swell. The energy is moderate to strong at 1406. It’s a much better prospect, but still a heavy wave.

From Wednesday onwards, things start to back off. The swell drops back to the 5ft to 6ft range, but the wind is all over the place. The quality is inconsistent. There’s a brief window on Saturday, August 15th, with a fresh offshore wind and a 4ft S swell, but it’s nothing special.

The tail end of the window, around August 18th and 19th, sees a bit of a pulse again, with 5ft to 6ft SSW swells and decent offshore winds. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so take that with a grain of salt. The energy is back up to the 1700-1800 range, so there’s some punch in it, but the consistency is the big question.

So, to sum it up: the standout days are Friday and Saturday morning, August 7th and 8th. That’s your window for the best, most powerful, clean surf. The water's about average for this time of year, sitting around 80°F. The earlier, smaller stuff is a fun warm-up, but the big, clean, offshore days are the real deal. Just remember, Fare Left is a serious wave, and when it’s big, it’s only for the experienced. The second week is a lottery, but there are a few glimmers of hope.

Alright, I’m out. Stay stoked.

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.
