Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for Fare Left.
First few days are a complete washout. Friday the 10th has those tiny, messy waves and a storm risk, so leave the board in the car. Things start to get a pulse on Sunday the 12th as a solid SW groundswell pushes in, hitting about 5ft. The trouble is the wind is blowing cross/cross-on, making it choppy and average. Worth a look if you’re desperate, but not the good stuff.
The swell keeps building through the start of the week, getting up to 7ft to 7ft, but the cross-shore wind hangs around, keeping the surface lumpy. The water is a warm 81°, so that’s about normal for this time of year.
Now, the real magic starts to happen from Wednesday the 15th. The swell holds steady around 6ft to 7ft, and the wind swings to a clean cross-off from the SSE. That is the ticket. The energy in the water is massive, topping out over 3000 and even 3494 on Thursday afternoon – that’s some serious power. This is a long-period groundswell (14–16 seconds), so you’ll get those nice, long lulls and then a heavy set. This is big, powerful reef break stuff, and definitely not for beginners. It’s going to be cooking.
Then we get another big pulse around Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 17–18 seconds. The energy readings are insane, hitting 4726 on Wednesday morning. Tuesday afternoon looks like the stand-out session with light offshore winds from the NE and clean conditions. This is heavy, proper groundswell, and with that period, it’s going to be a freight train. Crowds are possible, so plan your paddle out.
The last week of the forecast sees the swell ease back a bit, but it stays rideable with clean conditions and offshore breezes, especially on Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st. By the 25th, the wind is ripping and the quality drops, so it’ll be time to find something else to do.
If I had to call the best sessions: Thursday the 16th afternoon – 7ft, clean, and absolutely pumping. And Tuesday the 21st afternoon – 8ft, light winds, and that deep south swell lighting up the reef.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
