The Lowdown

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at the next couple of weeks for Left Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so we gotta pick our moments. This spot is a point break, and it likes a good WSW swell, which we do see coming. But it’s inconsistent, so you can’t just rock up whenever you feel like it. You gotta be patient and wait for the right day to light it up.

The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. Just your usual autumn wetsuit.

The next week or so is going to be a bit of a tease. We start off on Monday the 7th with the swell already showing, but a strong offshore wind is going to make it a real fight to get out the back. It's clean, but you'll be earning every wave. The energy is weak-ish on Monday morning, so it's probably not worth the paddle. Monday afternoon drops off in size, and the period gets short, so it's looking a bit meh.

Tuesday the 8th is where things start to get interesting. The swell mixes around, and by the afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The period gets long, and the energy gets going. It’s still not huge, but that long-period swell will have some push. This is a decent session for the experienced crew.

Now, Wednesday the 9th is the standout for the first week. The swell jumps up to a solid 10ft on the morning and 12ft in the afternoon. The wind is strong and offshore, which will make it glassy, but it's a lot of water moving. This is proper groundswell, but it's going to be big. This is for experts only. The swell direction is right in that WSW window the Left Point loves. If you're charging, this is your window. The swell stays big on Thursday the 10th, so those with the skills can still find some gems, but it's pushing the limits of this break.

Friday the 11th looks like the best combination of size and wind. The swell has backed off a touch to 7ft, but it's still got that long period. The wind is light offshore and glassy in the morning and afternoon. This is the one to circle. It should be clean, powerful, and peaky. This is a proper point break session.

The weekend goes a bit sideways. Saturday the 12th is okay, but the wind is a bit weird, and Sunday the 13th turns into a complete mess with strong onshore winds. It's not looking good, and that poor stretch runs through Monday the 14th. Definitely a time to get other things done.

There's a gap for a few days here, but the surf does come back with some serious size on Tuesday the 15th. Another 12ft day with a lot of energy, but again, it's just too big for this spot and the wind isn't ideal. This is expert territory or even a look-and-don't-touch kind of day.

The following week is a bit more ordinary. We see some cleaner conditions around Wednesday the 16th, but the swell is dropping, and the quality isn't what it was. The wind goes onshore and messy for Thursday and Friday, and there's a lot of close-out, blown-out junk in the water. The long-range stuff out around the 21st and 22nd is promising – a nice SSW swell with light winds again – but it's a long way out, so I wouldn't book my flights just yet. Keep an eye on that Monday the 21st, though; that could be another good one.

So, to sum it up: this week has two clear standouts. The big, powerful, expert-only session on Wednesday the 9th, and the cleaner, more user-friendly, but still solid Friday the 11th. If you're not an expert, be careful on that Wednesday and Thursday. The second week looks less consistent, with nothing really jumping out until that maybe at the very end.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
