The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Left Point.

The whole forecast period is a bit of a rollercoaster. We kick off with a solid pulse of swell and clean conditions, but then it gets wild and messy for a long stretch before settling into a promising run of glassy perfection towards the end of the first week of September. Hang tight.

Monday afternoon kicks things off with a clean 7ft SW swell, period at 14 seconds, and light offshore winds out of the SSW. The water is sitting at 56°, which is just about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 1982. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but given the inconsistent nature of the break here, you’ll need to be patient for the sets. This is the best of the near-term, and it’s a real treat.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday morning, September 1st, all the way through to Monday, September 7th, the conditions are pretty much a write-off. We get a huge spike in swell size, up to 13ft, but the wind is either howling onshore from the NNW or cross-off at gale force. The wave energy gets massive, hitting 11,104 on the Saturday, but it’s just too big and blown out for a clean, rideable wave at this point. It’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session. That’s a solid 6-day gap with no real recommendations.

Things start to look up again on Monday, September 7th, with a cleaner 4ft to 5ft SW swell and offshore winds, but the energy is weak (565-682) and the period short. It’s marginal.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, arrives on Wednesday, September 9th. We’ve got a glassy 10ft SW groundswell, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The wind is dead calm, glassy, from the S at just 3 mph. The combined energy is strong at 4759. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long period means it’s gonna be a bit walled up at the beach, but at a point break like this, it’s pure magic. That glassy morning is the pick of the whole 16-day window.

Thursday, September 10th, is nearly as good with another glassy morning, 8ft SW swell and a 19-second period, also with glassy wind. The energy is very strong at 5620. Another unbelievable session.

The quality then holds with clean, cross-off winds through the weekend and into the following week, with solid 6ft to 7ft SW swells. The mornings on September 13th and 15th are particularly nice, with clean conditions and light winds, but the glassy perfection of the 9th and 10th is the true highlight. Do not miss it.
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.
