The Lowdown

Alright everyone, Rusty here with a look at the only game in town for the next couple of weeks. It’s just one spot: Left Point. Don't go hunting for a backup plan.

First things first, there’s a massive lull before we get anything good. The opening days of September are a total miss. Thursday the 3rd might have some hefty 10 to 11 foot WSW swell with a combined energy around 3709 to 7648, but the tide and cross-off wind are fighting you. Friday and Saturday the 4th and 5th are complete write-offs with howling onshore wind and rain. That’s a dead week to start.

Things finally quiet down enough to be interesting on Monday the 7th. Clean offshore wind in the afternoon and an 8 foot SW swell, but the period drops to just 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (1020), but short-period swells are weak and jumbled. It's a sign of life, not a standout.

The first true standout hits on Wednesday, September 9th. Morning has a light 9 mph offshore from the SSW with a 8 foot SW groundswell at 15 seconds (3448 energy). The afternoon is even better – the offshore breeze picks up, the swell bumps to a clean 8 feet with a 16-second period (5284 energy). That’s the long-period groundswell that Left Point is built for. It’s not massive, but it’ll be powerful, clean, and holding shape. Water temp is a nice 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for now. Crowds are possible here sometimes, and the spot does break inconsistently, so the locals will be on it. This is your prime window.

Thursday the 10th is a close call. Another afternoon session with light offshore wind, and an 8 foot SW swell at 17 seconds (5030). This is textbook Left Point. Long period, glassy, and plenty of energy to make the wave count. The morning is a bit cross-shore, but the afternoon is perfect.

The second week gets much choppier. Friday the 11th is a final clean day before the wind turns foul, with smaller waves. Tuesday the 15th sees another clean, glassy afternoon with a 8 foot SW groundswell (3432 energy). That’s a reliable, mellow day. Then Thursday the 17th brings a monster – a 16-foot SW swell (7095 energy). That is strictly for experts. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the power and size will be intimidating. The following day the wind is gale force and it’s a total mess.

So, bottom line: Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September are your best bets. Clean, offshore wind, and beautiful, long-period swell. Tuesday the 15th is a solid fallback. Everything else is a gamble.

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.
