The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Irmas/Leftpoint for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The 16-day window we’re staring at is mostly a dud, with a massive gap of poor surf. The only real blip of hope, and I mean the only one, is the very first session on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. After that, it’s a long, bleak run of poor conditions that stretches all the way through the end of the forecast.
Wednesday, July 29th morning is your one and only shot. We’ve got a 7 ft easterly-northeasterly swell rolling in with a 10-second period, which gives it some decent shape for a reef setup like Irmas/Leftpoint. The combined energy is moderate at 939. What makes this the standout though is the wind: a light 15 km/h (9 mph) northerly blowing cross-offshore. That’s going to groom the faces clean, making for some proper, lined-up waves. It’s a classic early morning window where everything clicks. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
Now, I’ve got to be honest – the rest of the outlook is a write-off. The wind swings onshore or cross-shore and cranks up from Thursday, July 30th, all the way through to the second week of August. We’re looking at strong breezes and messy, lumpy conditions. The swell hangs around, but it’s wrecked by the wind. By Saturday, August 1st, the swell even jumps up to 10 ft with a combined energy of 1580, but with 45 km/h (28 mph) winds, it’s an absolute washing machine – more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
Into the second week, things don’t improve. The wind just won’t let up, and the swell directions get a bit mixed up with some SSW pulses showing up, but they’re compromised by the same messy cross-shore wind. There’s no real saving grace here. The only other sessions that even get a marginal nod are the mornings of Tuesday, August 12th and Wednesday, August 13th, but the waves are small (around 3 ft) and the wind is still cross-on or cross-shore, making it a scrappy, low-quality affair.
So, to sum it up: if you’re keen, you’ve got one window – first light on Wednesday, July 29th. Get out there, because after that, the forecast is a long, dusty stretch of nothing good until at least the middle of August.
Stay salty,
Rusty

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.
