The Lowdown

Alright surfers, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards. We’ve only got one break that’s making any waves in this outlook: Left Point. So, let’s get into it.

First up, the water at Left Point is sitting at 56°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, no surprises there.

The next few days are going to be a real test of patience. Starting Thursday, August 6th, there’s a long-period groundswell from the SW (16-second intervals) pushing some mild energy (454), but with a cross-shore wind and a score that’s a big fat zero, it's a write-off. Friday, August 7th is where things get interesting though. The swell builds to 5ft from the SW, and the energy jumps up (1332). The morning is still a bit messy with a light cross-shore, but then Friday afternoon turns on. The wind goes completely glassy, the swell is a clean 5ft with very long-period energy (1632), and the conditions are looking excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a real standout window.

After that, the wind turns ugly. Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th are hammered by strong onshore winds and rain, making for poor surf. The swell is still there, but it’s all chop and bump. Monday, August 10th is a weird one – we get a massive spike in energy (3898 in the morning, 7216 in the afternoon) with an 12ft swell, but it’s blowing a near gale. That kind of power is just for the crazy crew, and even then, the conditions are rated poor.

The following days from Tuesday, August 11th through to Saturday, August 16th see a lot of cross-offshore winds but with strong breezes. The surf stays in the 5ft to 8ft range with solid energy (often over 3000), but it's constantly marked as marginal or poor. The period is long (14-17 seconds), which is great for a point break like this, meaning clean, lined-up waves when the wind behaves. The standout here is Sunday afternoon, August 16th. The light offshore breeze, a clean 6ft SW swell, and moderate energy (1245) make for “very good surf conditions.” That’s your second real highlight of the outlook.

Heading into the final week, Monday, August 17th afternoon has light offshore winds and a clean 5ft swell, which is another nice, ridable window, but the energy is dropping off (840). After that, the last few days of the forecast window see the swell fade below 5ft and the wind goes cross-on again, dropping the quality right back to poor.

To be honest, the only two times I’d be paddling out are Friday afternoon, August 7th, and Sunday afternoon, August 16th. Everything else is either blown out, too windy, or straight-up messy. The first week’s standout is Friday afternoon – glassy, clean, and firing.

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.
