Left Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: Left Point is going to be a fickle mistress over the next couple of weeks. The opening days are a total loss – we’ve got a solid SW groundswell, but the wind’s howling onshore and turning it into a washing machine. You’ll be looking at 5ft of chop and no fun. The water temp is a normal 56°F, so nothing weird there, but you won’t care when you’re getting blown off your board.

The first real chance is Monday afternoon the 10th. The swell bumps up to 10ft with a 17-second period, and the wind swings cross-off, cleaning it up. The energy is strong at 4939. It’s a step up, but still marginal. Tuesday and Wednesday are back to poor, with strong winds and messy conditions.

Now, for the big one: Thursday the 13th afternoon. This is huge – 13ft of SW swell, 16-second period, and the energy is a massive 14706. The wind is favorable, but this is way too big for Left Point. It’s an expert-only, hold-onto-your-life kind of day. If you value your board, stay on the beach.

The first true standout is Saturday the 15th morning. The swell drops to a very surfable 8ft, still from the SW with a 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-off, and the energy is strong at 3822. This is clean, powerful, and perfect for experienced surfers. It’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting, but the waves that come are worth it.

Sunday the 16th is your second gem. The morning is glassy – zero wind, 6ft of SW swell with a 14-second period. Pristine. The afternoon gets even better with a gentle offshore breeze and the swell holding at 6ft. This is another clean, high-quality session.

After that, it fades. Monday the 17th afternoon is still decent, but it’s a step down. The rest of the week is mostly poor. Then, look ahead to Friday the 21st. Morning is glassy again with 8ft of SW swell and a 16-second period. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze. It’s a promising session, but it’s a week away, so don’t bank on it just yet.

So, mark your calendar for Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th – those are your best windows for quality, powerful waves with clean conditions. Friday the 21st is a backup. Just remember, it’s a point break, so the long-period swell will wrap in nicely, but it’s inconsistent. Patience, mate. And for the love of god, don’t even think about paddling out Thursday afternoon. Unless you’re a pro, it’s a suicide mission.

Rusty, out.
