G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Left Point.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s some serious size on the way, but you’ve gotta pick your windows carefully—the wind’s gonna be a factor a fair bit of the time. The standout window is a good one though.

Right from Friday morning the 3rd of July, it’s already big—4.5m from the WSW with a super long 16-second period, and combined swell energy is a massive 10096. But mate, with a 50 km/h westerly screaming across it, it’s a write-off. That wind is cross-off but way too strong. Same story Friday afternoon—still 4.5m, now from the SW, energy still huge at 8941, but still hammered by 50 km/h winds. Not surfable.

It drops a bit Saturday the 4th: 3.0m from the SW in the morning, period down to 13 seconds, energy at 2614. The wind is still a fresh 30 km/h cross-off, so it’s clean but the swell’s still big and the conditions are marginal. Saturday afternoon looks better—2.5m SW, same period, 30 km/h offshore from the SW, energy at 2180. Clean lines but still a lot of water moving around.

Sunday the 5th has solid size again—3.0m from the SW with a 17-second period in the morning, energy jumping to 6172, but it’s a cross-shore from the ESE at 25 km/h, so the surface is messy. Sunday afternoon stays 2.5m SW with the same long period, energy 4567, but the wind freshens to 35 km/h from the ESE, making it lumpy. Not the day.

Monday the 6th drops off—1.6m SW, 14-second period, energy 1006 in the morning but onshore from the north at 10 km/h. That’s not good. Afternoon goes to 1.3m, 14 seconds, energy 726, and it’s nearly glassy with just a 5 km/h ESE cross-shore. Clean but tiny.

Tuesday the 7th is small and choppy—0.8m to 1.3m with moderate cross-onshore winds. Not worth suiting up.

Now, here’s the standout. Wednesday the 8th of July: morning has 1.6m from the SW, 18-second period, energy 2486, and a moderate offshore from the SSW at 20 km/h—clean and lined up. Afternoon bumps to 2.1m, same direction and period, energy 2951, still with that 20 km/h offshore. This is excellent for experienced surfers. That combination of solid groundswell and clean offshore wind is the best on offer. The crowds at Left Point (Left-Point) are “sometimes” around, so expect a few others with the same idea.

Thursday the 9th holds up well—morning 1.8m SW, 15-second period, energy 1493 with a gentle offshore from the south—smooth. Afternoon drops to 1.6m, 14-second period, energy 1151, light cross-off breeze from the SSE. Still very good.

Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th go flat or onshore—1.6m but with northerly winds onshore and choppy. Sunday the 12th gets messy too, with 1–2.1m and cross-onshore winds.

Monday the 13th has size again—2.5m from the SW in the morning with a 16-second period, energy 3504, and strong offshore wind from the south at 40 km/h. That is clean but very powerful and hard to paddle into—only for the strong. Afternoon eases to 2.1m with fresh offshore wind, still clean.

Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th keep 2–3.0m SW swells with fresh cross-off breezes and energy in the 3000–4300 range. Clean but challenging.

Then on Thursday the 16th we get a glassy morning—1.8m SW, 14-second period, energy 2228, and zero wind. That’s beautiful. The afternoon gets interesting: 3.5m from the SSE but with a short 8-second period, and a gentle offshore from the SSW. That’s very big and short-period—likely too much for the point and better for experts if it wraps in.

After that, it drops away Friday the 17th to 1.1m, with a glassy calm afternoon—clean but ankle-biters. Saturday the 18th is back onshore and lumpy.

Bottom line: Wednesday July 8th and Thursday July 9th are your best bets—consistent, clean offshore wind, long-period SW groundswell in the 2–2.1m range. Thursday the 16th morning could be a hidden gem if you want glassy conditions on smaller swell. The big days in the second week are promising but less certain—keep an eye on the wind.

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.

Left Point is 33 km (20 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
