The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming.
We're looking at Kandui Left, and the water is a warm 86°, which is about 1° above the usual. Not a massive anomaly, just your standard warm tropical feel.
The first few days are a bit of a slow burn. Friday the 17th is a washout with messy cross-shore wind. Saturday the 18th is the first real chance to get wet, with glassy conditions in the morning and a clean cross-off breeze in the afternoon. The swell is a modest 4ft from the SW, with moderate energy (729). It's a mellow start, but the windows are clean.
Now, here's the one that gets the heart pumping. Monday the 20th. We've got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, and the energy is strong (2218). The morning session is clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – the kind of day where the ocean feels heavy and purposeful. That long period will make it a bit more lined up, which is pure magic on this reef.
The middle of the week gets a bit lumpy and cross-shore, with some choppy faces. The swell drops a bit, but it's not a total loss.
Fast forward to the end of the month and into August, and we've got a serious bomb. The 30th of July starts it off with a 6ft, 20-second SW groundswell and glassy conditions. The energy is very strong (2952). Then the 31st of July and the 1st of August are looking like the real deal. We're talking 7ft to 8ft of SW groundswell, glassy or light offshore wind, and very strong wave energy (up to 3627). This is expert juice, and it's going to be a legendary run. The 1st of August afternoon sees 8ft and glassy conditions, with energy at 3066. That's the pick of the pack.
The bottom line: The early part of the outlook is for the patient surfer, but Monday the 20th is a serious session. The absolute standout, the one that gets you out of bed before dawn, is the run from the 30th of July through to the 1st of August. That's big, clean, powerful Kandui Left at its absolute finest. Don't miss it.
Rusty.

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.
