The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next few weeks at Left Point. The long-range charts are pumping with south-west groundswell, but it’s not all gonna be perfect. First few days are messy, but there are a couple of real standout windows that’ll make you glad you waited.

Monday the 10th kicks off poor with a lumpy 7ft SW swell and a stiff cross-onshore. By Monday arvo the wind swings offshore, and that 7ft SW swell (combined wave energy of 4973) cleans right up. Tuesday and Wednesday are rough though—cross-onshore winds and lumpy, with an 8ft SW swell on Wednesday still messy, even with cross-off winds in the arvo.

Now Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 15th is where the action is. Thursday and Friday see a solid 10ft SW groundswell, period 16 to 17 seconds—that’s long-period energy (combined energy around 4741 to 6460). Thursday arvo goes clean with cross-off winds, and Friday arvo is clean too. But Saturday the 15th is the standout: a 8ft SW swell with a 16-second period, combined energy of 2750, and light offshore winds all morning—gentle offshore in the arvo. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. Left Point is a point break, and with that long-period SW groundswell it’s gonna peel off long, clean walls. Crowds are possible, so beat the rush.

After Saturday, the swell drops through next week. Sunday the 16th sees a 7ft SW swell, but cross-shore winds ruin it. By Monday the 17th we’re down to 4ft and it’s poor. Water temp is about 56°F, pretty average for this time of year—nothing unusual.

There’s a gap of a few quiet days, but keep an eye on Tuesday the 18th arvo. That 4ft SW swell comes in glassy—dead calm wind—and the forecast says very good surf. Small but clean.

Further out, around Monday the 24th, there’s another promising window. A 6ft SW swell, glassy morning, combined energy of 1273, and clean offshores in the arvo. The swell direction (SW) matches up well with Left Point’s optimum (WSW), and with those light winds it’ll be a clean session. Tuesday the 25th stays clean with cross-off winds, though the swell is a bit smaller.

Best call: Saturday the 15th is your day—bigger swell, clean offshore winds, and that long-period groundswell making Left Point sing. Go get 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.
