The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for Left Point. We've got some solid swell lining up, but the wind is going to be the main character here, and it's not always going to be our friend. The first week is a bit of a write-off until a potential standout window opens up, but it's for the big boys only.
The first real chance of anything decent kicks off on Saturday the 25th. It's not great, with a 10-foot SW swell pushing through, but a strong 25 mph cross-off wind is making it messy. The combined energy is high (3866), but the conditions are marginal. The rest of that weekend and into Monday is a rough one with cross-shore and onshore winds, dropping the swell to 4 feet and making it choppy and poor. We're looking at a gap of a few days here with nothing worth talking about.
The real standout on the data is Wednesday the 29th. The morning session is looking all-time for experts. We’ve got an 12-foot SW groundswell, with a long 15-second period, and the wind is blowing clean offshore from the SW at 19 mph. The energy is massive at 4920. The guidance says this might be too big for the break, so only for the very experienced crew. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Thursday the 30th is a nice follow-up, with a lighter 6-foot SW swell, a gentle offshore breeze, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (1037), making it a much more manageable day for intermediate surfers.
Looking further out, there's a promising window around Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning session has an 8-foot SW groundswell on a very long 19-second period, with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is back up to 4503. This is a clean, powerful swell that will be best at a point or reef, but the long period might make it a bit straight for a beach break. It's a promising one, but we're a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
The rest of the second week after that is a total bust with a northerly wind regime setting in, blowing everything out. The morning of Saturday the 8th of August might have a slight reprieve with a rain shower and a light cross-off breeze, but it's only a 4-foot swell with poor conditions.
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.
