The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Kandui Left.
Straight up, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a solid run of choppy, cross-onshore winds and a lot of marginal conditions. The water’s a warm 85°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But the wind is just not playing ball for clean waves.
Things start looking up around the end of the month. The real standout is shaping up for Monday, August 31st. The morning is glassy, absolute glass, with a clean 6ft swell from the SW. That’s a long-period groundswell (17 seconds), so the energy is proper. The combined energy is strong (2146). The afternoon is even better in size, with 7ft SW swell and glassy conditions again. The energy jumps to 2884. This is the clear pick of the bunch for the whole forecast – clean, powerful, and that reef is going to be firing.
The best of the best, though, looks like Tuesday, September 1st. The morning is glassy again with a solid 8ft SW swell. That’s big, pushing into expert-only territory, but the period is 18 seconds and the energy is massive (3864). If you’re experienced, this is the session to circle. The wind is light and glassy, so the waves will be as perfect as it gets. The afternoon is cross-shore, so morning is the call.
After that, we drop back into smaller, less consistent stuff with onshore winds creeping back in. The swell is still there, but quality drops off. The last highlight is a small window on Friday, September 4th, with a clean, cross-offshore wind and a 4ft SW swell. It’s small, but the conditions will be clean for a fun little session.
Kandui Left is a reef, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s also a spot that draws a crowd. Given the quality of the 31st and 1st, expect it to be busy. It’s a world-class wave, so it’s worth it.
So, the long and short of it: wait out the choppy stuff. The magic happens from Monday, August 31st, through Tuesday, September 1st. That’s your window.
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.

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.
