The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots.
Starting off Sunday, August 23rd at Left Point. Morning’s a mess with cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon turns it on. Glassy conditions, light west wind, and a clean 6ft SW swell with a 13-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 1793. That’s the best of the first few days – clean, powerful, and for the experienced. Crowds are possible, but it’s worth it.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are poor – lumpy and choppy. Wednesday the 26th cleans up a bit but still marginal.
Friday the 28th is another big one. Morning is cross-choppy with a 8ft, 18-second SW swell – huge energy (3379). But the afternoon is the real deal: light offshore breeze, clean, and 7ft of SW swell at 17 seconds. Experts only, but it’s a beauty.
Saturday the 30th afternoon: 8ft from the SW at 16 seconds, clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Very strong energy (4462). A massive, clean groundswell for the brave.
From September 1st to the 3rd, strong winds and messy conditions ruin the fun. September 4th afternoon offers a clean 10ft SW swell at 16 seconds – very big, only for experts.
After that, from September 5th onward, poor conditions dominate. The surf window closes with nothing worth chasing.
The standouts are Sunday afternoon the 23rd and Friday afternoon the 28th of August. Water temp is average for the season.
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.
