Table - best surf conditions forecast for Left Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Left Point, but in feet and miles.
Water temperature is 57°, right on the average for this time of year, nothing special.
We’ve got a slow start. Wednesday the 8th morning is messy with cross-on wind. The afternoon cleans up with 7ft SW swell and an 18-second period – good for experienced surfers but not a standout.
Thursday the 9th afternoon is the early gem. Swell drops to 4ft from the SW, still a solid 15-second period. Wind goes glassy, light easterly – clean, smooth waves. Moderate energy (986). That’s your best early bet.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are blown out. Strong onshore winds, choppy. Saturday has 28 mph winds, just terrible.
Sunday the 12th is not for paddle surfing. 10ft SW swell with 28-31 mph cross-shore winds. Strong energy (5674) but more for kite surfing.
Monday the 13th afternoon brings a huge 15ft WSW swell, 15-second period, cross-off wind – clean but too big for most. Expert only. Massive energy (15696).
Oversized and windy through Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday the 15th has 18ft swell with near-gale offshore winds – hard going.
From Thursday the 16th, the swell drops. Thursday morning has strong offshore winds (25 mph), clean but tough. Afternoon is more manageable with 6ft and fresh offshore breezes. Moderate energy (1447).
Friday the 17th morning is small – 4ft SW – with moderate offshore winds (12 mph) and clean. Low energy (655). A mellow one.
The long-range standout is Wednesday the 22nd. A solid 10ft WSW swell, 16-second period – very long period groundswell – with moderate offshore winds. Strong energy (4958). This is powerful and clean, a good direction match for the point. Experienced surfers only. Keep an eye out, but it’s a way off.
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.
