The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Left Point over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of south-west swell energy on the way, but the wind is going to be a real pain for the first half of the week. The water temp is sitting at 56°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
The first real chance of anything decent at Left Point won’t be until Wednesday afternoon, August 12th. That afternoon we see a jump in swell to 10ft from the WSW, with a very long 16-second period and a massive wave energy reading (7559). The wind will be a clean cross-offshore, making it look tidy. But be warned, at 10ft this is expert territory, not for the faint-hearted.
The standout window is shaping up for Saturday, August 15th. The morning has a 8ft SW swell (15-second period, 2670 energy) and the wind is straight offshore from the SSW at only 9 mph. That’s clean, glassy conditions on a powerful, long-period groundswell. This is the pick of the entire forecast – a proper session for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, holding at 8ft.
Sunday the 16th afternoon is also worth a mention, with a light cross-off breeze and 6ft swell, rating as very good surf. But the Saturday morning is the one to circle.
After that, the swell slowly drops. Monday the 17th has some clean 5ft waves in the afternoon, and Tuesday the 18th afternoon offers a clean 5ft swell with a 15-second period. But the energy is dropping off fast.
There’s a long gap of poor, blown-out conditions from the 19th through to the 26th. The wind is relentless, and the swell is tiny or messy. On the 26th, we get a late 10ft pulse from the WSW, but it’s a short, choppy 8-second period with cross-shore wind – not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Saturday morning, August 15th. That offshore wind and solid SW groundswell are going to make Left Point look like a different break. 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.
