The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Left Point over the next couple of weeks.

The good news is we’ve got some serious swell energy on the horizon, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story. A lot of the time it’s going to be messy, so we have to pick our moments.

Starting off this Saturday the 12th of September, the swell is already solid at 7 ft from the SW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy – combined energy is 2575, so it’s got plenty of push. But the morning has a light cross-onshore wind, so it’s a bit lumpy. The afternoon cleans right up though – SE 3 mph cross-off wind and clean conditions. This is where you want to be. The swell holds at 7 ft, period 15 seconds, and the score reflects it: this is a real standout for experienced surfers.

Sunday the 13th and into Monday the 14th are write-offs. The wind cranks up from the north at 19 mph and it gets ugly. Swell drops right down to 3 ft by Monday morning, with fresh cross-onshore junk. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday the 15th sees a big pulse. Morning swell is back up to 8 ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, and combined energy is 2143, but the wind is howling from the WSW at 25 mph. It’s clean but way too strong for anything fun. By afternoon, it’s 12 ft with 28 mph winds – that’s pure windswell chaos. Only for the crazy ones.

Now, Wednesday the 16th of September is where it gets interesting. Morning shows 10 ft SW swell, 14 seconds, with a S 19 mph cross-off wind, but it’s still a bit marginal. Then the Wednesday afternoon turns into the best session of the first week. Offshore wind from the south at 16 mph, 10 ft swell, 15 seconds, and combined energy of 5525. That’s a strong groundswell with clean, offshore conditions. Left Point will be firing, but this size is for experienced surfers only. It’s a standout.

Thursday the 17th is still good – morning has gentle offshore SW 9 mph, 7 ft swell, and clean conditions. A solid follow-up session.

The weekend of the 19th and 20th is mostly blown out again with strong northerly winds and messy surf, though Sunday afternoon sees a weird pulse of 10 ft at a very short 8 seconds with near-gale winds. No thanks.

Then we look ahead to Monday the 21st of September – another real standout. The morning has 10 ft SW swell with a 18-second period – that’s very long-period groundswell – combined energy of 6507. The wind is light onshore from the north at 6 mph, but the afternoon is magic: SE 6 mph cross-off, same 10 ft swell, 17-second period, combined energy 5435. Clean. This is a late-afternoon session to mark on your calendar. Again, big stuff – experts only.

After that, Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd get messy with cross-on winds, but Thursday the 24th afternoon gives another clean offshore window: SW 12 mph, 7 ft swell, 14 seconds, combined energy 3369. Good surf.

The final days from the 25th onward are smaller and more inconsistent, with the swell dropping to 5 ft and light winds but nothing that really screams stand-out.

So overall, if you’re an experienced surfer, Wednesday the 16th afternoon and Monday the 21st afternoon are the absolute top picks. Solid SW groundswell, clean winds, and all that energy heading straight into Left Point. Don’t sleep on that Monday session.

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.
