The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, boys and girls, Rusty here again to break down what’s cooking at Left Point for the next couple of weeks.
Don't get too excited about the start of this run because the first few days are a total loss. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th of July are packing some serious and dangerous swell. You're looking at waves from 15ft to 13ft out of the SW with a 16-second period, which is a lot of water moving. The energy readings are 10311 and 7802, which is massive. The trouble is, you’ve got near gale and strong breeze winds blowing straight across it, making a total mess. That’s not a surf day; that’s a kite-surfing setup if you’re mad enough. The water’s sitting around 56°, which is totally normal for the season.
Thursday the 30th calms down a bit to waves around 8ft to 7ft with a 13-second period. It’s cleaner with cross-off breezes, but the forecast flags some sketchy tide conditions, so it’s not really a goer. The energy is still high, about 3345 to 2293.
Friday the 31st is when you might paddle out. We’re down to 5ft to 5ft of SW groundswell with a 12-second period. Light cross-off winds and a clear afternoon make for very good conditions. The energy is down to 678 and 588. It’s a solid choice, but not the best.
Saturday the 1st of August gets blown out again. Strong onshore winds and a massive 18-second period swell will just close out the point. Not a good look. Sunday the 2nd is cleaner but still only marginal.
The session to circle is absolutely Wednesday the 5th of August. The afternoon is looking glassy calm. You’re getting 4ft of SW swell with a 14-second period, combined energy of 960, and the wind is dead flat – glassy. That’s the recipe for clean, peeling waves at Left Point, especially since the swell is coming from the ideal WSW direction. This spot is inconsistent, so when it all lines up, you won’t be the only one thinking it. Expect crowds.
There’s a small clean window on the afternoon of Monday the 4th with 4ft, but it’s just marginal. And Tuesday the 11th of August has some 5ft from the WSW, but wind is either cross-shore or onshore. Nothing touches that glassy Wednesday.
So, get this: the first week is mostly a bust. Don't rush out before Friday the 31st. The big, clear standout is the afternoon of Wednesday the 5th of August. Mark it down. Good things come to those who wait, especially at an inconsistent spot like this.
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.
Left Point is 33 km (20 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
