The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story but in the old-school numbers.
First, the water at Left Point is about 56°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
This week is a real mixed bag. We're starting off on Thursday the 6th and it's junk – poor surf, choppy and messy. Don't bother. Friday the 7th is where you want to be. The morning is still a bit rough, but that afternoon? Absolute paradise. The wind goes dead calm, you've got a clean 5ft SW groundswell with a long 15-second period. The energy is at 1631 (moderate wave energy). For a spot that's inconsistent, glassy conditions like that are a pure gift.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a total right-off. Howling onshore winds and rain ruin any chance. Monday the 10th brings a big 8ft+ swell, but the wind is cross and lumpy. Energy is massive at 7597, but it's not a clean wave. Tuesday the 11th is more of the same messy cross-onshore junk. Wednesday the 12th brings a huge 10ft swell, but again, messy winds.
Now, for the big dogs only. Thursday the 13th sees a colossal 21ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period. The energy reading is 23738 (very strong wave energy), and the wind is straight offshore at 25 mph. The report says it's too big even for this break. That's a serious reef-point-sized wave for the brave only. The afternoon drops to 16ft, same story – clean but massive. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th see the swell back to a more manageable 10ft and 8ft, with clean offshore winds, but it's rated marginal. Good, but not the glassy gold of the 7th.
Looking at the second week. From the 16th onward, swell drops to around 5ft to 6ft. Monday the 17th afternoon and Tuesday the 18th look like another glassy window. Dead calm wind, 5ft to 5ft SW swell, and clean. Wednesday the 19th afternoon is also looking excellent with a 6ft SW swell and glassy conditions. Those are your second-week picks. The 20th and 21st get a bit lumpy again, but the 21st afternoon cleans up nicely with a 6ft SW swell and light offshore wind.
Best on offer? That's Friday afternoon, the 7th of August. 5ft glassy groundswell at a break that doesn't always fire. The second pick is that glass-off on the 17th and 18th. For the thrill-seekers, the 13th is a monster, but only if you know what you're doing.
Keep it salty.
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.
