The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again for the Imperial crew. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at this spot.
We’re talkin’ about Lawrencetown Left Point (reef and point), and the first chance to get wet is Friday the 11th. It’s a borderline one—5ft swell from the SW at 8 seconds, with a cross-off wind from the WNW at 25 km/h. Water temp is 63°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 445, but the short period means it’s not gonna have much power. Honestly, it’s a bit of a letdown to kick things off.
After that, things go dead. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, it’s a whole lot of nothin’—tiny waves and crap wind. There’s a few little ankle-biters here and there, but nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
Now, for the one real highlight: Monday the 14th. By the afternoon, you’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSE, 7-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NNW at 20 km/h. That offshore breeze will glass it up proper. The combined energy is a solid 290. This is your best chance in the whole outlook. The break is inconsistent, so it might be a bit of a wait for sets, but when they come, they’ll be clean. Crowds are possible, but not guaranteed.
After that, there’s a tiny bump on the 25th and 26th with 2-3ft swell, but it’s weak and poorly shaped. Not worth gettin’ excited about.
So, the bottom line: Monday the 14th afternoon is the one to circle. The swell direction is a little off the ideal SE, but the offshore wind makes it worth the paddle. Everything else in the 16-day window is pretty flat or messy. Keep your hopes up though—forecasts can change quick around here.
Rusty.
