The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Left Point. We've got a wild ride ahead on the calendar, so strap in.
The opening salvos are for the big dogs only. Tuesday the 15th kicks off with a solid 8.2ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds, but it's a messy 25 mph cross-off wind. It's not the cleanest start. But Tuesday afternoon is a straight-up beast, with 11.5ft of SW swell. The wave energy is absolutely pumping at (4084). The problem is, it's simply too big for this place. That’s a hard pass unless you’re on a gun and have nerves of steel. We’ll see some cleaner conditions Wednesday the 16th with fresh offshore winds from the SSW, but the swell is still a thumping 9.8ft and the wave energy is massive at (6462). It’s one for the experts only.
Things settle a touch Thursday the 17th. We’re looking at 6.6ft to 6.9ft SW swell with moderate cross-off breezes and clean faces. The wave energy is still strong at (1976), but it’s a much more manageable size. Still, I’d call this solid intermediate territory. Then we hit a rough patch. From Friday the 18th right through to Sunday the 20th, the wind goes onshore and nasty, ruining what swell there is. The wave energy drops way off, dipping to a weak (454) by Sunday morning with a near-gale cross-onshore. Total write-off.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 21st brings a return of clean, moderate offshore winds from the SSW. The swell is a powerful 7.9ft to 8.2ft from the SW, and the period stretches to a very long 16 seconds on the Monday afternoon, with strong wave energy of (4091). This is a beautiful groundswell. It’ll be a standout for experienced surfers who know how to handle a long-period swell on a point break. It’s going to have plenty of energy and shape, but the sets will be spaced out.
We get another lull mid-week, with messy onshore winds on the 22nd and 23rd ruining the fun. The wave energy drops to a weak (588) by the 23rd afternoon. But look out for Friday the 25th. The wind goes glassy, a slight air from the WSW, and the swell is a clean 4.9ft from the SW with moderate wave energy at (918). That’s a fantastic morning for a longboard or a funboard, and it’s a hidden gem in this long forecast.
The weekend of the 26th and 27th gets wild again. Saturday the 26th is blown out by a fresh cross-onshore, but Sunday the 27th is a big, clean morning with a 9.8ft SW groundswell at a very long 17 seconds. The wave energy is enormous at (5026), and with a slight air and clean conditions, it’s another top-shelf day for experts only. Finally, the forecast closes out with clean, moderate offshore winds on the 29th and 30th of September, with the swell settling back to a very manageable 4.9ft to 6.2ft. The wave energy is moderate at (1468), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That's a solid way to end the run.
Water temp is about average for this time of year.

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.
