Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Lawrencetown Left Point over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. The first proper session that’s worth paddling out for doesn’t really show up until Wednesday the 8th, so we’ve got a few days of flat or just plain ordinary conditions to sit through before that. There’s a gap of about four days at the beginning with nothing to recommend.
Wednesday the 8th is where things finally get interesting, and it’s the one standout in this whole run. The early morning brings a chunky 8ft swell from the SE, and the combined wave energy is pumping at (1318). That's some serious power, but heads up – that’s a big swell, well over 8ft, so this one’s for the experts only. It’s going to be heavy. The wind is a cross-shore from the ENE at 18 mph, which will put a bit of a lumpy texture on it, but there’s enough juice to make it worth a look if you’ve got the experience. The afternoon cleans up nicely with that 7ft SE swell (808) and a cross-off breeze from the north.
If you’re looking for something a bit more manageable, Thursday the 9th morning has a smaller 4ft SSE swell (274), but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, keeping things fairly lined up. It’s not a classic, but it’s rideable.
For the rest of the second week, it's mostly a write-off. We see a couple of spikes in swell size again around Saturday the 18th with 8ft from the SSW (659) and Sunday the 19th, but the wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, so the quality just isn't there. That 8ft on the 18th is a mess with onshore winds. By Sunday the 19th, things calm down a bit with a 4ft SSW swell and a light cross-off breeze, making for some clean surfable waves, but nothing to write home about.
Overall, the best window is Wednesday the 8th for the brave, and maybe a quick session on the morning of Thursday the 9th if you’re keen. The rest of the forecast looks like a lot of choppy, messy surf until we get closer to the end of the run.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lawrencetown Left Point 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
