Lawrencetown Left Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Lawrencetown Left Point.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty ordinary stretch of days. The next week or so is mostly a write-off for anything decent. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands.

Thursday, July 30th is a total non-starter. The wind is a messy cross-shore at 19 mph, the swell is a weak 4 ft from the east with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 220. It’s just ugly out there.

Things start to look a little better on Friday, July 31st. The morning is the real standout early on. We’ve got a 5 ft S swell rolling in, and the wind goes glassy from the northeast. That’s the kind of clean you dream about. The energy is moderate at 339, but the period is a solid 9 seconds. It’s a small window, but if you can get out there Friday morning, it’ll be worth it. The afternoon sees the wind shift and the quality drops.

Saturday, August 1st morning offers another chance. Clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, and the same 5 ft S swell. Not bad, but Friday morning has the edge for that glassy perfection.

After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch. From Sunday, August 2nd all the way through Tuesday, August 11th, the surf is mostly small, weak, and bumpy. There are a few mornings with cleanish conditions, like Wednesday, August 5th, but the swell is just too ordinary. The energy dips into the double digits and the periods are short. It’s a real flat spell.

Now, the horizon looks more interesting. Monday, August 10th morning is a real tease. We get glassy conditions again with a 3 ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 11 seconds. The energy is a solid 273, but the size is small. It’s a clean, pretty wave, but you’ll be working for it.

The real standout, the one that’s got me a bit excited, is Wednesday, August 12th. The morning is glassy, the swell is a clean 4 ft from the SSW with a very long period of 12 seconds. The energy is a strong 471. This is proper groundswell energy. It’ll be a bit fat and straight on the beach, but for a point and reef setup like Lawrencetown Left Point, this is prime. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, but the morning window is golden.

Looking further out, Thursday, August 13th morning brings a bigger bump. We’re talking 7 ft from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds and a huge energy reading of 1882. That’s a lot of power. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but for an experienced surfer, this is a big session. The size is getting into that expert-only territory, and the long period will make it a bit tricky on the takeoff, but the reef should handle it well.

So, to wrap it up: the best call is Friday, July 31st morning for the glassy, clean conditions. The long-range standout is Wednesday, August 12th morning for the combination of clean conditions and that powerful, long-period groundswell.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on that mid-August window.

Rusty.
