The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The coming days at Kandui Left are looking solid with a strong, long-period SSW groundswell rolling in. This is a world-class reef break that handles big south-west energy well, and we’ve got a serious pulse of swell arriving right now. The water is sitting at about 85°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Wednesday, August 19th kicks off with a solid 10-foot SSW swell, but the wind is onshore from the south and it’s a bit messy with a risk of thunderstorms. The wave energy is pumping hard – in the very strong range (5310) – so there’s plenty of power, but the conditions are far from clean. Later in the afternoon the wind swings more directly onshore, so keep your expectations tempered.

Thursday, August 20th is the standout window. The morning still has some risk of storms with a cross-shore wind, but by Thursday afternoon the wind goes light cross-offshore from the ESE and the surf cleans right up. Swell holds at about 8 feet from the SSW, period a nice 16 seconds, and conditions are described as clean. This is the best on offer early on – excellent for experienced surfers.

Friday the 21st through the weekend sees the swell slowly backing off and the wind becoming more cross-onshore or choppy. The wave energy stays moderate to strong (between 2000 and 3000), but the quality drops. Not the time to get excited.

Monday, August 25th and Tuesday morning offer a brief window of lighter winds and smaller 5-6 foot swell, but it’s not breaking clean enough to get the heart racing.

Then on Thursday, August 27th the swell pulses again. Thursday morning shows a 4-foot swell but with a very long 19-second period, and the energy jumps back up (1618). Wind is light and cross-shore. This is a groundswell with serious push for its size – Kandui Left being a reef setup will hold that long-period energy well, giving you some grinding lines. Not huge, but quality potential.

Friday, August 28th morning is another moment to watch. Swell about 6 feet from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and light cross-offshore wind from the ESE. Conditions are marked as clean. Another good window for experienced surfers.

The end of August fades into smaller surf, but lookout for Monday, August 31st: a new big SSW groundswell arrives. The morning shows 8-foot, 19-second period from the SW, and the energy is massive (5452). Wind is cross-shore from the SE, so it’s not glassy, but the power is undeniable. This is expert territory at that size, especially with that long period pushing through a reef. If you’re skilled and hungry, this is the big one to pencil in.

Crowds are always an issue at Kandui Left – it’s a world-famous wave and people know it. Don’t expect any solitude.

Through the first few days of September, the swell slowly winds down, with a final clean-ish morning on Thursday, September 3rd offering 5 feet, light cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. A nice way to finish the run.

Overall, the standout on offer is Thursday afternoon, August 20th, with clean 8-foot waves, followed by the big-power session on Monday, August 31st for experts only.

Information about the Kandui Left Surf forecast

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