Table - best surf conditions forecast for Left Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, checking the next 16 days for Left Point. The start is a real bummer.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are a washout. The wind is onshore, the swell is small, and the energy is weak. Sunday the 12th is a total mess with a near gale blowing, 10ft to 12ft of swell, but it’s cross-shore and ugly. Monday the 13th stays ragged with strong cross-onshore winds. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle session.
The one real standout is Tuesday, July 14th. The combined energy is massive at (8794) for the afternoon, with a solid 12ft to 13ft of SW groundswell on a 15-second period. That’s a very long period, perfect for a point break. The wind is clean and cross-off, which is a huge plus. But with the swell over 8ft, this is expert-only, big-wave territory. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The break is inconsistent, so you gotta be patient, and crowds are possible.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are more manageable. Thursday afternoon is the pick, with clean 5ft surf and light cross-off winds. The energy is down to (880), but it’s a fun, manageable size.
Then we hit another rough patch from Friday the 17th through Sunday the 19th. Onshore winds and messy waves.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are the best of the second week. Tuesday morning has a fresh offshore wind, with 6ft of swell and a 13-second period. The energy is moderate at (1081). It’s clean, but it’s a long way out and less certain.
The final days from the 22nd to the 25th are a mix of onshore winds and fading swell. Not much to write home about.
So, the day to circle is Tuesday, July 14th. Big, clean, and powerful at Left Point, but only for the experienced crew.
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.
