The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We're looking at a slow start for Left Point (Left-Point), a pretty exposed point break with an inconsistent reputation. Don't hold your breath for the first few days; it's gonna be a wait. But once it gets going, it gets *really* going.

The first possible look comes in Friday the 4th, but it's a no-go. We've got 19 mph winds from the NW and a 10 ft SW swell that’s way too blown out to even think about. The water is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but you won't feel it through that chop. Saturday the 5th is worse – near-gale winds and messy surf. Scrap that.

Sunday the 6th sees things clean up a bit. A moderate breeze from the WSW offers clean-ish conditions, but the swell's a bit walled and the consistency is poor. It's surfable but nothing to write home about. The combined energy is around 1816 – moderate, but uninspiring.

The first real window comes in on Tuesday the 8th. It's still early, but this is a true standout. Morning starts with a light breeze from the West, putting us cross-offshore. Swell is 4 ft from the SW with a very long period of 18 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy. Combined energy is 1814 (moderate), but that long period means clean, peeling lines down the point. It'll be a bit inconsistent (this spot never fires every set), but when it does, the shape will be world-class. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. This is for experienced surfers.

Wednesday the 9th is only for the brave. Swell jumps to 13 ft from the SW, period at 19 seconds, and the combined energy hits a massive 13154 – that's very strong. The wind stays offshore from the SW, so the face will be smooth, but this is expert territory only. If you're not a pro, stay on the beach.

The tail end of the run is interesting. Wednesday the 16th morning looks glassy with a 8 ft swell from the WSW, period of 15 seconds. Wind is practically zero. That's clean, powerful, and far more manageable. Combined energy is 2365 – moderate. Could be the best session of the whole window if the swell direction lines up with the break's optimum (WSW). Crowds are possible, but glassy conditions at a point break are a rare treat. The week after that looks large and questionable until the very end, with Saturday the 19th afternoon going glassy again on a 6 ft SW swell.

For the rest of the second week? Mostly blown out or too small. There's a gap from the 13th to the 15th where it's mostly choppy and small. Then the 17th and 18th are oversized and windy. Keep an eye on that glassy day on the 16th.

Rusty out.

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.
