The Lowdown

G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Left Point over the next couple of weeks.

The first sniff of anything worth paddling out for arrives on Friday, July 31st, with a clean 4ft swell from the SW. The water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no need to dig out the extra thick wetsuit just yet. This is a solid start, but the real magic is still to come.

The standout session of the whole outlook is the afternoon of Thursday, August 6th. We've got a small but beautiful 2ft swell from the SW, with a long period of 16 seconds, bringing in real groundswell energy. The wind is going glassy offshore from the SSW, so the surface will be like a mirror. This is a point break, and that long period will wrap right in, giving you a proper long, peeling wave. For a more experienced surfer, this is going to be a treat. The combined swell energy is a moderate 542, so it's not a powerhouse, but the quality will be high.

Leading up to that, Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, is also a great option. A clean 3ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. The wave energy is 645, which is more than the Thursday but the conditions are still very clean. It's a good warm-up.

The first few days of August are a write-off, unfortunately. Saturday the 1st through Monday the 3rd are plagued by onshore and cross-shore winds, with the swell getting messy and lumpy. The wind hits 25 mph on Monday, making it just a grovel. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th mornings see the swell pick up, but the wind is still strong, making it only marginal.

After the magic Thursday, things get tricky again. Friday the 7th has a decent 4ft swell, but the wind is onshore, and the long period (15 seconds) will likely make it a bit wonky. The following week, from the 8th to the 14th, is a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is howling out of the north, often hitting 25-28 mph, and the surf is just a messy cross-onshore chop. The swell is often big, around 8ft to 12ft, but it's not worth it. With that much wind and swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The very end of the outlook, on Saturday, August 15th, has a bit of promise. The morning is marginal, but the afternoon is a real highlight. An 8ft swell from the SW with a long 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy. This is a serious swell, only for experienced surfers, but the conditions are rated as excellent. The combined wave energy is a strong 3414, so it's a powerful pulse. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but it's a tantalising prospect.

So, to boil it down: get in the water on Thursday the 6th for the best quality, and keep an eye on Saturday the 15th for a potential big, clean swell.

Information about the Left Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Left Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Left Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Left 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 (Left 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 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.
