Lawrencetown Left Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Imperial

Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's take a look at the forecast for the next couple of weeks down at our local spot. It's a slow burner, so don't rush to wax up just yet.

We're looking at a pretty quiet opening for the next few days at Lawrencetown Left Point (Canada). The surf is going to be tiny, with waves barely pushing 1 foot on Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th. The winds are mostly cross or onshore, so it'll be choppy and messy. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.

We finally get a bit of a pulse on Thursday the 9th morning. A 4-foot swell from the southeast shows up with a short period, giving us some weak wave energy. The wind goes offshore from the NNW though, and it's clean. It'll be surfable, but it's not going to win any awards. It's probably the best we'll see for a while, but it's ordinary.

After that, the rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off. Small swell, messy winds, and poor conditions are the story all the way through to the 14th. There's a gap of about 5 days with nothing really good to recommend.

Now, looking further out, things get a bit more interesting, but also a lot more serious. We have a couple of days where the ocean is going to be angry. On Wednesday the 15th, the swell jumps to 10 feet from the SSW, and the combined wave energy is strong. The wind is onshore, and the forecast says it's predicted to be too big for this break. This is a "leave it for the big dogs" kind of day.

Saturday the 18th looks similar – another 10-foot southerly swell with very strong energy and onshore winds. Again, it's just too big and messy for a safe paddle here.

The best chance for something decent might come at the very end of the forecast window. On Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st of July, we're looking at some solid SSW swells, around 7 to 8 feet with a longer period, so there's some proper groundswell energy behind it. The wind is looking a bit better too, with some cross-offshore conditions showing up, especially on the Sunday afternoon. That could clean up the left point nicely. The only problem is that the swell direction is from the SSW, and this break really wants it from the SE for perfection. Expect bigger, more powerful sets with long waits. The 8-foot size means it's for experienced surfers only.

Stay patient. The next week is a bust, but the weekend of July 20-21 could finally deliver some real waves, if you've got the experience to handle it. The water is sitting around 56°F, which is about normal for this time of year.

Rusty.
