The Lowdown

Alright, let's have a look at what's cookin' at Irmas/Leftpoint. It’s gonna be a tough stretch for the next 16 days, no two ways about it.

We got a gap right from the get-go with no real surf to talk about. It's a long, grim outlook. The wind is the real villain here – a relentless stream of ENE winds, 20 to 28 mph, blowing cross-shore or cross-onshore, just shredding the surface all day, every day.

Kicking off Monday, August 17th, we got 5ft of windswell, but that 19 mph breeze is making a right mess of it. The combined swell energy is moderate at 688, but you’d be fighting a losing battle against that bump. Water temp is around 80°F, about normal for this time of year.

And it just doesn't let up. For the next week, the size goes up and down, but that wind... it's brutal. Short-period chop under 8 seconds is all we're seeing. Even on Thursday the 20th, when we get a long-period 18-second pulse from the SSW, the swell is only 2ft and the wind is still on it. That kind of groundswell would be dreamy on a glassy day, but not like this.

As we push into the end of August, the swell really starts to pile in, but the wind just gets stronger. By Sunday the 23rd, we're looking at 6ft surf, but with a 22 mph cross-breeze, it's a lumpy, uninviting mess. The energy is strong at 531, but the quality is zero. From Monday the 24th onward, it’s just not for paddle surfing. The swell hits 7ft, then 8ft, with winds cranking up to 25 or 28 mph. Don't bother with your surfboard; this is a kite session if you're into that. The combined energy on the 27th is a massive 1537, but it’s all wind-affected chaos.

We get a slight reprieve in size right at the end, dropping to 4ft on the 31st, but the wind is still blowing 19 mph. It’s the same story all the way through. There is no standout day here, no hidden gem. The waves are going to be there, but they'll be ugly. It’s a long wait for a clean one, that's for sure.

Rusty.

Information about the Irmas/Leftpoint Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Irmas/Leftpoint provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Irmas/Leftpoint can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Irmas/Leftpoint 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 (Irmas/Leftpoint) 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 Irmas/Leftpoint 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.
