The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the coming weeks at Left Point. There’s a lot of energy on the way, but we’ve got to be patient and pick our windows.

The overall pattern is a solid run of southwest groundswell, but the wind is going to be the big talking point. For the first week, it’s mostly onshore or cross-off, making things messy for the most part. The real quality starts to show up from the middle of the second week, and that’s where the standout conditions live.

We kick off the Monday afternoon of the 14th with a small but clean start: 3 ft of SW swell at 13 seconds, with light offshore winds and glassy conditions. Very clean, but tiny. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – it feels like a little gift from the ocean.

Then things get raw. Tuesday the 15th sees a huge jump in size, with the swell hitting 8 ft and then 12 ft, but it’s accompanied by a brutal 28 mph cross-off wind that just knots it up. Combined wave energy is extreme – around 2,585 and ramping up to 4,429 (moderate to very strong energy). Not for paddling. This setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that strong wind and big swell. That continues into Wednesday the 16th, where we’ve got 10 ft of SW groundswell (15-second period) and a fresh offshore wind. This is proper size – over 8 ft, so experts only. The energy is massive at 6,462.

Thursday the 17th drops a little to 7 ft, still clean but with cross-off winds, and the energy is still moderate. Not a standout.

Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th is a write-off for quality. Onshore winds, lumpy, blown-out conditions, and dropping swell. The swell is still there, but the wind is just ruining it. There’s a gap of poor surf here for a few days.

Now, the tone shifts. Monday the 21st of September afternoon is the first real highlight. The swell eases to 8 ft from the SW at 14 seconds, but the wind goes glassy offshore (9 mph from the SSW). The break is a point, so this long-period groundswell (over 14 seconds) will set up nicely. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers with combined wave energy at 3,471.

Tuesday the 22nd of September afternoon is another absolute beauty. We get 6 ft of SW groundswell, and the wind is dead calm – glassy, flat calm. That’s a major positive for a point break. This is clean, lined-up, and well-shaped. The break is inconsistent, so you might wait a little, but the sets will be worth it. Energy is moderate at 1,893.

Thursday the 24th of September morning offers a tiny 3 ft option with glassy conditions, but it’s small. Not the main event.

The real standout of the whole forecast is Saturday the 26th of September morning. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at 10 ft of SW groundswell with a 15-second period, gentle offshore winds, and the highest combined energy of the whole run at 6,623 (very strong energy). This is a big, serious swell. The wave comment calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and you’d want to be on your A-game for this. It’s over 8 ft, so it’s experts-only territory, but for those who know what they’re doing, this could be the session of the month.

Tuesday the 29th of September rounds it out with 5-6 ft of SW swell and clean offshore winds, offering more solid, ridable waves at the end of the window. The break is inconsistent, but when it fires, especially with these offshore winds, it’s worth the wait. Crowds are possible here, but with the size and conditions, the crew that shows up will be the ones who know what they’re doing.

Stay sharp, pick your mornings, and don’t be afraid to wait for that glass.

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.
