The Lowdown

Right now, Left Point is the only break firing, but it’s a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of SW groundswell lining up, but the wind is going to be the deciding factor for the next few days. The water’s at 57°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s not freezing.

Wednesday morning (16th) is actually looking pretty decent. We’ve got a 10ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and while the wind is offshore, it’s a fresh 30 km/h breeze, so it will be clean but a bit lumpy. The combined energy is strong at 6531, so there’s plenty of power. It’s a point break, so that long period will wrap nicely. This is about as good as it gets for the next couple of days. Not for beginners though, at 10ft, this is proper intermediate-to-expert territory.

The rest of Wednesday afternoon and all of Thursday (17th) is still workable, dropping into the 7ft range and going a bit cross-off. It’s clean, but the quality slips, and the tide is questionable. Energy drops to that moderate range (1855 and 1485), so it’s got less grunt.

Friday (18th) and Saturday morning (19th) are a write-off. Onshores, lumpy, messy. You’ll be fighting it more than riding it. Come Saturday afternoon (19th), things clean right up. The wind goes light offshore from the SW, dropping to 10 km/h, and the swell is still a solid 7ft. That’s a clean window with a 13-second period. The energy is down to 1497, so it’s not giant, but it’ll be fun.

Sunday (20th) is a massive no-go. Strong onshores and a jumbled mess. Don’t bother.

Monday (21st) is another standout. Morning has 8ft of SW swell with a moderate offshore. It’s in the expert range, but it’s clean and punchy. The afternoon jumps back up to 10ft with a 15-second period and the wind stays offshore, though stronger. This is another pick of the week. Tuesday (22nd) is also interesting with 10ft SW at a 16-second period and gentle cross-off winds. Clean, but the tide is marginal. Energy is strong, over 5000.

After that, things fade. From Wednesday (23rd) onwards, the swell drops. There’s a small window late Thursday afternoon (24th) when it drops to 4ft and goes offshore, but it’s small.

There’s a gap of a few days around the 25th to 27th where it gets pretty small and junky. Then the following Monday (28th), it picks up slightly to 6ft but is mostly onshore and messy. The real story is the 1st of October. The wind is howling offshore from the SW at 50-60 km/h, but it’s a near gale, and with 7ft of swell, it’s going to be a battle. It’s clean but blown out. Given the strong wind and the point setup, check the kites then.

So, your best bets are Saturday afternoon (21st) and Monday (22nd) morning. Tuesday (22nd) is also good if you can handle bigger, longer-period stuff. Not ideal, but there are waves to be had.

Stay stoked, 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.

Left Point is 33 km (20 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
