The Lowdown

Alright surfers, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up at Left Point.

Looks like we’re in for a bit of a slow start, so don't be in a rush to get your wetsuit on. The surf is pretty much flat or tiny for the first few days of the period. The first real action kicks off on Monday afternoon, the 7th of September, but it's a marginal call with a 6 ft SW swell and a fresh 19 mph offshore wind.

The real standout of this whole forecast is Tuesday the 8th of September. Tuesday morning is a sneaky good one. The swell drops to 4 ft from the SW, but that period jumps to a massive 18 seconds. This is a true, long-period groundswell, and Left Point, being a point break, is exactly where you want to be for that. The wave energy is strong (1684) and with a moderate 12 mph cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean. The afternoon session on Tuesday is even better. The swell builds to 5 ft, still a long 17-second period, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-off. The water is a bit cool at 57°, but that’s pretty normal for this time of year.

Now, Wednesday the 9th of September is a beast. The swell hits 12 ft from the SW with a solid 16-second period. The wind is a strong 25 mph offshore, so it’ll be clean, but this is not for the faint of heart. That size is only for well-experienced surfers. The energy is maxed out (7384). We see similar conditions on Thursday the 10th of September, with 12 ft to 10 ft swell and strong offshore winds. Thursday afternoon the swell backs down to 10 ft, still a powerful wave, but more manageable for strong intermediates.

Friday the 11th of September is a sweet spot. The swell drops to a much more user-friendly 7 ft from the SW, period holds at 14-15 seconds, and the wind is a light 6 mph offshore. It’s clean, glassy, and has plenty of energy (1736-2549). This is possibly the best all-round day for the non-big-wave crew.

The weekend gets messy. Saturday the 12th of September has a clean period in the afternoon with a glassy 7 ft SW swell at 15 seconds, but the morning is a cross-on. Then from Sunday the 13th of September through Monday the 14th, we get strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The energy drops off hard.

We get a bit of a pulse mid-week. Tuesday the 15th of September kicks up with a 7 ft SW swell, 12-second period, and a fresh 19 mph offshore wind, but it’s only rated as marginal. Wednesday the 16th of September looks similar with a bit more wind.

Another big, expert-only swell shows up on Thursday the 17th of September, with 12 ft to 10 ft SW swell and strong offshore winds. The energy is high (5332-4286). Friday the 18th of September is a bit of a letdown with cross-onshore winds and the swell fading.

The last week of the forecast is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. From Saturday the 19th of September onwards, we see strong cross-onshore winds and small, messy surf. The energy dips to a weak 314-315 for a couple of days. There are a few marginal sessions with cross-off winds on the 21st of September, but nothing to get excited about.

So, the bottom line: Tuesday the 8th of September is your best bet for a clean, long-period point break dream session. Friday the 11th of September is the next best call for a solid, fun day. The big stuff on the 9th, 10th, and 17th of September is for the hardcore crew only. Get on it while it’s good.

Rusty.

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.
