Lawrencetown Left Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The next few days are looking pretty flat and messy. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Monday morning, August 10th, when the swell bumps up to a tiny 2.6ft from the SSW with a short 6-second period. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW, so it’ll be smooth, but the energy is weak (65). The water is a wild 66° at the start, which is 4.3° warmer than usual – that’s pretty significant for this time of year, a real treat.

The next few days are a write-off with onshore wind and poor conditions. The real action starts to build on Friday, August 14th. The afternoon sees a jump to 5.6ft from the SSW, but the wind is a bumpy cross-shore at 18 mph, making it pretty lumpy. The energy is moderate (220), but it’s not clean.

Now, the standout window is Saturday, August 15th. The afternoon is looking like the best of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 4.3ft swell from the SW, a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is clean offshore from the NW at 18 mph. That’s a proper combo. The energy is strong (366), and the break, Lawrencetown Left Point, is a reef and point setup that likes the swell from the SE. The SSW/SW direction isn’t its absolute optimum, but that offshore wind will make it work. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a wave every minute, but when it comes, it’ll be clean. A few other folks might be around as crowds are possible sometimes.

Sunday, August 16th is still worth a look. The morning has a clean offshore wind from the NNW, with 2.6ft from the SSW. The period has stretched to 9 seconds, a little more groundswell character, and the energy is moderate (115). The afternoon cleans up nicely with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE.

The second week gets a bit wild. Tuesday, August 18th sees a big jump in size – 7.9ft from the SSW in the morning – but with onshore wind, it’s a messy, powerful beast. That’s for experts only, if anyone. The real saving grace is Wednesday morning, August 19th. A clean 3.3ft from the SW with a moderate offshore wind from the N. The energy is solid (215). It’s the only other decent looking window, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Beyond that, it’s back to small, onshore slop. The surf gets going again on Saturday, August 22nd with a 4.3ft S swell, but the cross-onshore wind messes it up. The rest of the run is a bust.

For my money, Saturday afternoon, August 15th at Lawrencetown Left Point is the one to circle. Clean offshore wind, a solid chest-high swell, and that point break setup. It’s the standout.
