The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the long-range for Left Point. There’s a bit of a slow start, but then some proper sessions come through, as long as you pick your moments.
The first real action is Wednesday, 26th August. Wednesday morning you’ll see a 1.8m SW swell with a 14-second period – that’s a proper groundswell pumping in. The combined energy is 1259 (moderate), and with a clean offshore wind from the SSW, it’s going to be groomed and glassy. This is the best session of the whole run. It’s a point break, so the long period will peel off beautifully. Wednesday afternoon is still good, with 1.6m SW and 13-second period, still offshore, and energy at 905.
Thursday 27th morning is a mess – cross-on wind and smaller swell. But Thursday afternoon? The wind goes glassy, totally calm, and the swell is 1.1m SW with a 13-second period. The energy is 567, so not huge, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be fun for a longboard.
Friday 28th morning is lumpy, but the afternoon sees a big jump. 2.1m SW with a 17-second period – that’s very long period, and the energy is 2685 (strong). The wind is clean cross-offshore. This is big, powerful, and for experienced surfers only. Beginners should sit this one out.
Saturday 29th is clean but smaller. Sunday 30th afternoon is the next true highlight. 1.9m SW, 13-second period, clean offshore wind, and energy at 1685. Rated excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a beauty.
Monday 31st is a tease. 2.1m SW, 15-second period, energy at 1985-2116, but the wind is cross-on from the NW. It’ll be powerful, but bumpy.
Then we hit a rough patch. Tuesday 1st September through Wednesday 2nd September morning is blown out. Wednesday 2nd September afternoon is a small window: 1.9m SW, 14-second period, clean cross-off wind, energy 1498. Excellent for experienced surfers.
Thursday 3rd September afternoon is another big one. 2.1m SW, 15-second period, clean offshore wind from the SSW, energy 1986. Solid.
Second week gets wild. Friday 4th September sees a 2.5m SW swell, 15-second period, energy 3082. The afternoon is clean with light cross-offshore wind – experts only. Saturday 5th September is huge – 3.0m SW in the morning, 16-second period, energy 7419 (very strong wave energy). That is a serious swell, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s lumpy and for the brave.
After that, it’s blown out with near-gale winds and rain through Sunday 6th to Monday 8th. There are a few clean windows on Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th, but the size stays big (2.4m to 3.0m) and the wind is fresh, so it’s for the hardcore.
The best bet is Wednesday 26th August morning. 1.8m SW, 14-second period, clean offshore, perfect point break. Second pick is Sunday 30th August afternoon. For the big-wave crew, Thursday 3rd September afternoon and Friday 4th September afternoon are the ones.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy.
That’s the story. Keep your eyes peeled.
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.
