The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s cooking for Kandui Left. First week is a write-off for the most part. From Tuesday the 15th up to Monday the 21st, it’s mostly cross to cross-on wind, with chop and ripples ruining the surface. Wave heights are anywhere from 5ft to 8ft – solid swell – but the wind’s not playing nice. Water temp’s about 85°, normal for the season.
One clean spell pops on Monday the 21st morning. Light cross-off wind from the ESE, and the ocean cleans up. You get a 6ft SSW groundswell, period 14 seconds. That’s a decent wave for intermediates, with moderate energy (1516). Best bet of that first week, but it’s not the standout.
Now, the big dog is Sunday the 27th. That morning, you’ve got an 8ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period – that’s long-period groundswell, proper power. Only for the experienced crew, that size. Wind is light cross-off from the N in the morning, then in the afternoon it goes glassy with a light SE breeze. Energy is huge – 4206 in the morning, 3741 in the afternoon. That’s strong energy, and the conditions are excellent. The swell direction is SSW, a good fit for the reef’s SW optimum. Those lefts will be long, lined up, and clean. That is your standout day.
Monday the 28th morning is also clean with a 7ft swell and cross-off wind, but Sunday is the one. Tuesday the 29th morning offers clean 5ft surf but the energy drops.
So to sum it: most of the first week is messy, with a clean session on Monday 21st morning. The second week, lock in Sunday the 27th – big, clean, glassy. That’s the call.
Rusty, out.

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.
