Table - best surf conditions forecast for Left Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on our hands for the next couple of weeks. The short term is a write-off, but the back half of the outlook has a couple of sessions that look worth circling on the calendar.
The first real action worth paddling out for is a long way off, so brace for a solid gap of nothing good. The first 10 days are essentially a no-go. We’ve got some serious wind and swell combos that are just plain ugly. It’s going to feel like a long wait.
The best bet overall lands on Wednesday, July 24th afternoon at Left Point. After all that chaos, we finally get a little relief. The swell is still a solid 7 ft from the SW, running with a nice long period of 16 seconds (groundswell). That longer period will really help shape things up, especially on a point break like this one. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface glassy and clean. It’s going to be a powerful swell, though – the energy reading is hefty, but for experienced surfers this one will be a standout. Keep in mind, with that long-period SW swell, it might be a bit straight for some setups, but this point should handle it well.
Just a couple of days after that, on Saturday, July 26th afternoon, there’s another little window worth a mention. The swell drops back a touch to 5 ft from the SW with a 14-second interval, and the wind goes completely glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat. The energy is moderate, but for an afternoon session with clean conditions, it’s hard to beat. Don’t expect massive power, but expect fun, rideable lines.
The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.
A quick heads up: while Tuesday, July 14th looks clean with the right wind, the swell is predicted to be over 12 ft with extreme energy. That’s expert territory only if you’ve got the nerve and the skills. For the rest of us, it’s a day for the couch.
So to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. Don’t even bother. Wait it out for that Wednesday afternoon on the 24th or that glassy Saturday on the 26th. That’s where the gold is.
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.
