The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Lawrencetown Left Point – a reef-and-point break that's known for being inconsistent, but when it's on, it's on. Water temp is about 58°F, right where it should be for July. Keep an eye out for crowds; they show up sometimes on the good days.
First couple days are a bust. Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th bring nothing but onshore wind and slop. Monday 20th offers a marginal wave – 4 to 5 ft from the SSW – but it's only so-so. Tuesday and Wednesday stay poor and choppy.
Then we get some action. Thursday 23rd afternoon is the real deal. Swell hits 8 ft from the SSW, 9-second period, with strong wave energy (1452). Wind swings light W at 3 mph, cross-off, making for clean, lined-up sets. That's big for this break, so only for the experienced. The reef and point will handle the long-period energy well.
Friday 24th morning is a solid second choice. Swell drops to 5 ft, still from the SSW, with a 10-second period. Glassy conditions – ENE wind at 3 mph, dead flat water. Wave energy is moderate (521). Perfect for a strong intermediate. Just expect a few more people in the water.
After that, it fades. Saturday 25th has a small clean morning (4 ft), but from Sunday 26th onward it's mostly tiny, weak waves and onshore breezes. There's a glassy morning on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st, but the swell is only 1 to 2 ft – not worth wetsuiting up for.
So if you're keen, aim for Thursday 23rd afternoon or Friday 24th morning. The rest of the 16-day window? Not much to write home about.
Catch ya later, Rusty.
