The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Left Point.
We’ve got a hefty run of swell on the way, but honestly, a lot of it is gonna get wrecked by wind. The first real standout comes on Sunday, September 6th. The afternoon session is looking prime for the experienced crew – we’re seeing a solid 7ft SW groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds, and a glassy offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate but packing punch (1618), and the cross-offshore wind will keep it clean. This is the best bet in the whole outlook for quality, conditions, and overall surfability. Keep in mind, Left Point is an inconsistent wave, so when it turns on like this, it’s a special deal. Water temps are running about average for this time of year.
Before that, Thursday the 3rd has some serious size – 12ft on the afternoon – and the wind is workable, but the swell is just too big and raw. This is for big-wave specialists only, and even then, the combined energy is raging (7898). Friday the 4th is bloated and messy with onshore winds.
The next proper highlight window looks to be Thursday, September 10th. The morning brings a 10ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s a deep ocean pulse. The wind is light and cross-offshore. However, that kind of period will stand the wave up too straight for a beach break – it’s a point break, so it should handle it, creating long, running lines with big gaps between sets. The afternoon is even cleaner with a light offshore, dropping to a still-sizeable 8ft SW. A solid day for experienced surfers who know the lineup and can handle the wait for sets.
The rest of the outlook, from September 11th onward, is largely a write-off. Consistent onshore and cross-shore winds, often strong to near-gale, blow out any chance of decent shape. There’s plenty of swell size, but the quality is poor. A few days in the middle of the second week have massive swell and strong cross-offshore wind, but the wave energy is extreme, and it’ll be a washing machine for normal surfing.
So in short: mark your calendar for Sunday afternoon, September 6th for the absolute best call – clean, solid, and manageable. Thursday the 10th is also promising for the bigger-wave crowd. The rest is a tough run of wind and raw power.
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.
