The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming down the pipeline for Left Point. It's a classic point break setup, and there's a fair bit of energy headed our way over the next couple of weeks, but timing and wind are going to be everything.

We're starting off with a bang. Friday the 11th is the clear standout early on. Left Point will be dishing up a solid 7 ft to 8 ft of SW groundswell, with a long period of 15 seconds. The combined swell energy is very strong (2394-3159). This isn't for the faint-hearted; the size and power make it one for experienced surfers only. But the real kicker is the wind – glassy Friday morning and offshore in the afternoon. That means clean, lined-up walls. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

Saturday the 12th holds similar size (around 7 ft to 7 ft) and the same long-period SW groundswell. The morning has onshore wind, so it’ll be a bit messy, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a light cross-off breeze. Good, but not as pristine as Friday.

Then we hit a rough patch. Sunday the 13th through Tuesday the 15th is a write-off. Sunday and Monday are blown out with fresh onshore winds and lumpy conditions. By Tuesday the 15th, the swell is pumping a massive 12 ft (combined energy of 3532-4974), but it’s way too big for this break and comes with a 28 mph cross-off wind. This is more of a kite surfing scene than a paddle session. Wednesday the 16th sees the swell drop back to a still-chunky 10 ft, but with a clean cross-off wind in the morning and a solid offshore in the afternoon. It’s right on the edge of expert-only territory, but the conditions will be good. The energy is very strong (3344-3059).

We get a small window of relief on Thursday the 17th with a 6 ft to 7 ft SW swell and light winds, turning offshore in the afternoon. Clean and fun. But don’t get too comfortable, because Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th morning is mostly cross-on wind and messy again.

There’s a big pulse of energy building for the following week. Sunday the 20th afternoon sees a 10 ft WSW swell starting to build (combined energy 5108), and it’s clean. Then Monday the 21st is the monstrous peak: a 13 ft SW groundswell with a *very long* 19-second period. The combined energy is extreme (11621). For an exposed point like this, that’s a massive, powerful ocean. It will be too big for most, but for the absolute experts, with a light offshore wind in the afternoon, it could be a session of a lifetime. The rest of that week (22nd to 25th) sees the swell slowly drop back down, with a mix of clean and lumpy days, but nothing to write home about. A nice clean 5 ft SW swell with offshore wind shows up on Friday the 25th.

So, if you’re looking for the best of the best and you’ve got the skills, mark your calendar for Friday the 11th for the cleanest chest-to-head high waves with that long-period push, and keep an eye on Monday the 21st for a massive, powerful groundswell for the brave.

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.
