Table - best surf conditions forecast for Leffingwell Landing over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our stretch of coast.
We’re looking at a pretty bleak start to this forecast period, I’m not gonna lie. There’s a solid gap with no real surf to recommend right through the first few days. The wind is just a mess – cross-on and choppy, with swell coming in but the quality is terrible. It stays that way for a while, so don’t bother rushing out.
The first chance of anything worthwhile doesn’t arrive until the morning of Friday the 10th of July. The swell is down to 7 ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind finally swings onshore from the west at just 6 mph. The combined energy is strong, reading 1468, but the conditions are still marginal. It’s a maybe, not a goer.
Then we get a real tease on the morning of Sunday the 12th of July. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, off a southerly direction. The swell is small, only 3 ft, but it’s a long period 14-second SSW groundswell. The energy is moderate (577). It’s clean, but small. For a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be a nice session with no crowds likely.
Another standout window appears on the morning of Sunday the 19th of July. Again, glassy conditions with a slight southerly breeze. The swell is 3 ft from the SW, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (704). This is a clean, lined-up groundswell, perfect for a point break or a reef. The water temperature is sitting at 57°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget a hood.
As for the best on offer? I’d put my money on the Sunday the 12th of July morning session. It’s not big, but the glassy conditions and that long period swell will make those lines clean. The second call is the Sunday the 19th of July for the same reasons – clean and glassy. The heavy days with bigger swell (over 8 ft) are all blown out by cross-onshore winds, so they’re a write-off.
That’s the story for the next 16 days. A lot of waiting, but a couple of windows for clean, smaller waves.
Rusty.
