The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Fare Left (New Zealand). The water’s sitting around 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no big anomaly to report.
We get going this Saturday morning, the 25th of July. There’s a 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period – that’s solid groundswell. The energy is moderate, reading 777. A light SSE breeze keeps it cross-off and clean. Good start for the advanced crew.
Saturday afternoon bumps up to 6ft, energy jumps into strong territory (1207). Still clean, but a little more wind on it.
Sunday the 26th is the highlight of the first week. Morning sees a 7ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, energy at 1575 – very strong. This is big, so it’s experts only. The wind stays light and cross-off. If you’re experienced, Sunday morning is your session.
Monday the 27th drops to 5ft, but the wind goes offshore from the ENE. Clean, glassy conditions in the morning.
Then we hit a lull. Tuesday and Wednesday are smaller, but Wednesday afternoon the 29th is a treat. Swell is 5ft from the SW, 12-second period, moderate energy at 810, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. Perfect for smooth, clean waves.
Thursday the 30th is still rideable at 5-5ft, but the wind picks up a bit cross-shore. Still clean enough.
Now for the gap. From Friday the 31st of July through Wednesday the 6th of August, the surf goes to crap. The wind screams from the SE at 25 to 40 mph for days. There’s some swell, but it’s messy and blown out. A small break on Monday the 3rd with offshore wind at 5ft from the SSE and a short 10-second period just doesn’t cut it. This whole stretch is a bust for paddling – maybe kite surfers get a look.
Hang in there. Friday the 7th of August brings a new SSW swell at 6ft, 15-second period, and strong energy at 1789. The wind is light and cross-off, clean. This is a promising long-range call.
The real standout of the second week is Saturday the 8th of August, morning session. We’ve got a 6ft SSW swell, 13-second period, energy at 1322 (strong), and a beautiful offshore wind from the east at 20 mph. Clean, lined-up, and perfect for the experienced surfer. Mark that one on the calendar.
Sunday the 9th looks wild, with 7ft S swell and a near gale-force wind. That’s a no-go.
So, bottom line: the first weekend is good, especially Sunday the 26th. Then there’s a long, windy gap from the 31st to the 6th, before Saturday the 8th of August saves the second week.
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.
