The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here with the lowdown on Fare Left for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a decent run of swell coming through, but it’s going to be a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. Water temp is sitting at 80°F, right about average for this time of year – no surprises there. The real standout window looks to be the first few days of September.

Thursday the 27th kicks things off with some light rain and a fresh offshore breeze from the ESE at 19 mph. Swell is 4ft from the SSW with a very long period of 16 seconds – proper groundswell. The energy is strong, coming in at 1129. This long period stuff can be a bit straight at beach breaks, but Fare Left is a reef, so it should handle it nicely. Morning surf is clean and offshore, but the call is only a 3. It’s not the best on offer, but it’s rideable. Friday the 28th gets a bit lumpy with stronger cross-off winds and the quality drops right off.

Now, Saturday the 29th is where things get serious. We’re looking at 8ft swell in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon, both from the SSW, period still hanging around 16 seconds. The energy is cranked right up – 3133 in the morning and 3931 in the arvo. The wind is offshore and strong, making it clean but that size is expert-only territory. You’ll need your big-wave gear and know what you’re doing. This is a standout for the hardcore crew.

Sunday the 30th keeps the size at 8ft in the morning, dropping to 8ft in the afternoon, still with a fresh offshore ESE wind. Energy is still well up there (2688 and 2173). Good waves for experienced surfers, but not as big as Saturday.

Monday the 1st of September – actually, that’s Tuesday the 1st of September on the calendar – we get a nice drop in wind. Gentle offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, swell eases to 4ft from the S, period at 12 seconds. The energy has dropped to 437. This is clean, gentle, and a whole lot more manageable. Good for a fun, stress-free session.

The standout for the whole outlook has to be Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon. Swell 8ft from the SSW, 16-second period, moderate offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. Energy at 2486. The forecast calls for excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. Friday the 4th also looks solid in the afternoon, same size and wind, with a 4 rating.

After the 6th of September, the swell fades and the winds turn more cross-off. It gets smaller and less reliable for the second week. A few fun, clean days might pop up, but nothing to get too excited about.

Crowds at Fare Left can be a thing sometimes, so get in early, especially if you’re chasing that Thursday the 3rd slot.

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.
