The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the forecast for Left Point. We've got a pretty interesting run ahead, but you gotta be patient because it's not all smooth sailing.
The opening of the outlook is a bit of a letdown. Monday the 14th offers some small swell at 3ft from the SW, but the wind is a messy cross-shore, so the water's gonna be choppy with poor conditions.
The real action kicks off later. Tuesday morning the 15th sees a big jump in size to 10ft from the SW, and despite the strong breeze, the wind is clean and offshore. The combined swell energy is cranking at (2774), but for a point break, that's a serious amount of juice.
Honestly, the standout window here is Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got a solid 10ft groundswell from the SW at 15 seconds (6860 combined energy). The wind is fresh and offshore all day, so the wave faces will be clean and lined up. This is big, powerful swell though – over 8ft – so this is expert territory only. The long period (15 seconds) is a bonus for a point, giving long, rippable walls with easy paddle-outs between sets.
The swell levels off a bit but holds around 7ft through Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, though the wind starts to get ugly Friday with a cross-onshore chop. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th get blown out by strong cross-onshore winds, so forget those days.
Now, there's a gap with no decent recommendations for a few days, but hold tight. The second week shapes up nicely. Monday the 21st has a clean afternoon at 8ft from the SW with light offshore winds (2305 combined energy). Then it gets a bit messy again Tuesday and Wednesday.
But the real payoff comes at the end. Saturday the 26th brings a beautiful 6ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds (3162 combined energy) and moderate offshore wind. It’s an excellent setup. Then on Sunday the 27th, it gets even better – 8ft of pure SW groundswell at 18 seconds (3907 combined energy) with consistent offshore winds. This is the best of the outlook. It's big, it's clean, and it's long-period groundswell. The crowd profile at Left Point says "sometimes," so you might get a few out there, but for a quality wave like this, it's worth the company. This is a long-range promise though, so keep your fingers crossed.
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.

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.
