The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here with the lowdown on Left Point. We've got a bit of a slow burn, but if you wait it out, there's some heavy hitters coming.
The next few days are a total write-off. Sunday the 9th is a mess with onshore wind and weak 4ft SW swell (combined energy of 655). Monday the 10th jumps to 6ft but it's still blown out. Tuesday the 11th is more of the same, lumpy and cross-shore. Plan for a dead spell before things get interesting.
Things start to turn on Wednesday the 12th. The wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning up that solid 8ft SW groundswell with a period of 16 seconds and energy at 2864. It's still a little raw, and the surf is only marginal. By Thursday and Friday, the swell is pushing over 8ft, so we're in expert-only territory.
For the real standout days, lock in Saturday the 15th and the following weekend. Saturday morning the 15th is your first proper call. We've got a clean 8ft SW swell, light offshore winds from the SSE, and conditions rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is a big, powerful groundswell with a 15 second period, and it's going to wrap perfectly around the point. It's big, but for the crew that can handle it, it'll be game on.
Then, look at Sunday the 23rd. The forecast shows a glassy 6ft SW swell with a monster 17 second period and energy at 2802. Glassy conditions at this point break with that kind of period? That's going to produce some of the longest, cleanest, most drawn-out waves of the whole outlook. It's an expert day for sure with the size, but it'll be a dream. Monday the 24th has more excellent conditions, just with a moderate offshore wind.
So, it's a quiet start but a big finish. Don't waste your time paddling out in the junk. The water temp is about 56°F, which is normal for this time of year, so a good 4/3 wetsuit is the go-to.
Get your schedules sorted for Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 23rd. Those are the ones to hunt.
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.
