The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Left Point for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. The water's sitting at 57° which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The main story is that the first week is a write-off. There's a solid groundswell coming through, but the wind is all over the shop, keeping things messy. We're looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations until we get to the end of July.
The first real glimmer of hope is Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning's looking good with a fresh, clean offshore breeze from the south and a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is massive (9740). The afternoon gets even bigger at 12ft, but it's predicted to be too big for this break. That morning session, though, is the standout. The offshore wind with that size and period will be a proper test, only for the experts.
The pattern holds into Thursday the 30th. The morning has a gentle offshore breeze and a 10ft SW swell (16 seconds, 7782 combined energy). It's labelled as exceptional for expert surfers, and I'd back that. The afternoon drops a bit to 8ft, still clean and offshore, a bit more manageable for the strong intermediate.
After that, things settle down significantly. Friday the 31st of July has clean, offshore conditions with a 7ft SW swell, and the 1st of August is clean with a much smaller, weaker 3ft to 4ft SW groundswell, perfect for a longboard on the glassy morning.
The second week doesn't look like it'll offer much. We get a bit of a pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August with an 8ft swell, but it's onshore or cross-onshore, killing the quality. The 3rd of August afternoon has a moment of glass with a 6ft SW swell (841 combined energy), which would be a nice, clean little session if you're around. Otherwise, it's pretty quiet.
Bottom line: Don't even bother looking at the beach until the 29th of July. When that big, clean, heavy groundswell hits, it's all about Left Point, but it's very inconsistent here, so you need to be ready to go when it's on. The best of the best is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July – that's your call to action.
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.
