The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at this in feet and miles per hour.
Rusty here.
For Irmas/Leftpoint, we’ve got a gloomy picture. This reef break is fairly consistent and faces east-southeast, but the wind is almost always blowing from the ENE as a cross or cross-onshore, often cranking up to a fresh or strong breeze. That’s going to keep the surface lumpy and choppy for nearly the whole 16 days. The water is about normal for this time of year, so no weird temps to talk about.
Starting Thursday 10th and Friday 11th, we’re looking at waist-high to head-high swell (5ft to 5ft) but with a short period (7 to 11 seconds) and cross-to-cross-onshore wind at 12 to 22 mph. The combined swell energy is moderate (450 to 723), but it’s all chopped up. Not good.
From Saturday 12th through Monday 14th, it drops to knee-to-waist-high (3ft to 4ft) with short periods (8 to 9 seconds) and moderate cross-shore wind. Still messy.
Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th are the weakest, with only 3ft to 3ft of short-period swell and cross-onshore breeze. On the 16th afternoon, there’s a long-period (18-second) SSW groundswell with strong energy (807), but the cross-onshore wind and mess will make it tricky for this reef.
First day of the second week, Thursday 17th, the wind picks up to a strong breeze (22 to 25 mph) with cross-shore conditions and swell around 5ft to 5ft, but the period is short (9 seconds) and it’s lumpy. That continues through the 20th and 21st, with strong winds and messy cross-chop. The 18th and 19th see another long-period SSW groundswell (16 to 17 seconds) with strong energy (over 1000), but the wind is a strong cross or cross-onshore at 25 mph. It’s going to be blown-out and rough.
Your best bet, if you can call it that, is Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd September. The wind drops to a light breeze (6 mph) from the east, still cross-on, and the swell is around 4ft to 4ft with a short 8-second period. It’ll be smaller, less powerful, but at least not a total wind fight. The energy is moderate (327 to 400). It’s not a standout, just the least bad day.
Honestly, there’s no real standout session across the whole 16 days. The wind ruins almost everything. Crowds are possible at Irmas/Leftpoint, but with conditions this poor, you might just find yourself completely alone – and for good reason.
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.
