The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at what’s coming our way. The main story is Left Point, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming, but the wind is going to be the main character for a lot of it.
The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
First up, the weekend of the 26th is a bit of a write-off. The swell is there, about 6ft from the SW, but that cross-shore wind has got things messy. It’s a marginal call at best.
The real action starts on the 29th. That Wednesday morning, a big pulse of SW swell hits, pushing 13ft with a 16-second period. That’s a serious groundswell, and the energy is massive (7979). The wind is howling offshore though – a near gale – so it’s going to be a battle to get out. That afternoon, the wind eases but stays cross-off, and the swell drops to 12ft. The energy is still huge (6425), and the report says it’s clean, but the text also warns it might be too big for this break. For the experts out there, Thursday the 30th looks good. The swell settles to 7ft, the wind is a fresh cross-off, and the conditions are clean. The energy is still strong (2723). That’s the pick of the first week.
The standout window, though, is the 6th of August. The Thursday morning has a clean 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-shore wind, and the energy is moderate (1216). By the afternoon, it turns glassy. The wind goes light and cross-off, the swell holds at 6ft, and the report says “very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so not set in stone, but it has all the hallmarks of a classic session.
The 31st of July also has a clean, glassy afternoon with 4ft of SW swell, but it’s a smaller window.
The 4th of August, Tuesday afternoon, has a big bump of 10ft from the WSW with a 13-second period, and the wind is cross-off and clean. The energy is strong (3241), but it’s a marginal call due to the size.
Overall, don’t waste your time on the first few days. The 30th is the early highlight for the big-wave crew, and the 6th of August is the one for a clean, fun session that everyone will enjoy. The crowds are “sometimes” at Left Point, so you might have some company, but it’s generally worth it.
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.
