The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
We’ve got a single spot on the radar for this 16-day stretch: Ledge Point. It’s a reef setup, so it handles swell well, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story. For the first few days, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at strong cross-onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions. The combined swell energy is high – like 1156 to over 10000 (moderate to very strong) – but it’s all blown out. There’s a bit of a shift on the 27th (Thursday) where the wind swings more cross-shore, but it’s still lumpy and only marginal.
The real window opens up on Sunday, the 30th of August. The morning is a standout. We’ve got a light breeze, clean conditions, and a solid 10ft WSW swell rolling in with a long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong at 5117, and the forecast is calling it exceptional for expert surfers. This is a big, powerful wave. For the experienced crew, this is the one to circle.
Then we get a real treat on Monday, the 31st of August. The wind drops to glassy in the morning, with a 8ft WSW swell. Clean, lined-up waves. It’s a little smaller than Sunday, but for a reef break, that glassy morning light is hard to beat. The energy is still solid at 2853.
The second week looks more patchy. The wind patterns get messy again with a lot of cross-onshore and onshore flow. Keep an eye on Tuesday, the 8th of September. We’ve got offshore winds from the east, clean conditions, and a consistent 8ft WSW swell. It’s a promising call for that time of year, but it's a long way off, so don’t lock it in just yet.
Overall, the first week has a couple of corkers, especially the 30th and 31st. The rest of the window is a mix of marginal and poor conditions, with a few bright spots scattered in the second week. For a reef break like this, when the wind is right, it’s going to be firing. When it’s wrong, it’s a battle.
Rusty.

Information about the Ledge Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ledge Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ledge Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ledge Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Ledge Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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 Ledge 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.
