The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got the long-range outlook for Left Point dialed in.
First off, the water's sitting at about 56°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – feels about average, so no surprises there.
The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 19th of July? Nah, scratch that, that's still messy. The good stuff is holding off.
But hold onto your boards, because things start to shift around Wednesday the 23rd of July. The wind will be howling out of the WSW, but it's cross-offshore, so the faces will be clean. The problem is the size. We're looking at a solid 10ft of SW groundswell with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is absolutely pumping at 5364, which is serious. This is big, powerful, expert-only territory. The swell is a long-period groundswell, and with that size, it's going to be pretty meaty.
For the rest of that week and into the weekend, the wind stays messy and cross-shore. It's not until Monday the 28th of July that we get a real standout. The morning is a write-off with light rain and a cross-off wind, but the afternoon is where it's at. We get a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the SW with about 7ft of swell at a 13-second period, giving us a combined energy reading of 2079. The conditions are clean and powerful. This is the one to circle.
Then, looking further out, Thursday the 31st of July afternoon is another cracker. The swell drops to around 4ft, but the period hits 18 seconds – that's a very long period groundswell that will wrap in nicely around the point. The combined energy is still hefty at 2066, and with a clean cross-off SSE breeze, it's going to be glassy and reeling. This is a day for the experienced crew to really enjoy themselves.
After that, the forecast gets a little hazy, but Saturday the 2nd of August is looking promising. The afternoon session could be all-time with about 7ft of SW swell, a 16-second period, and glassy conditions. Definitely a long-range one to keep an eye on.
This is an inconsistent spot, so you have to pick your moment. The real window for quality, clean surf is late on the 28th and the afternoon of the 31st of July. Get on 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.
