The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Left Point.
We've got a long stretch ahead, and honestly, it's a bit of a rough ride for the most part. The first good news doesn't come until much later in the period. The water is sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The big standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Wednesday, July 29th. Early morning, we’re looking at a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The wind is fresh offshore from the SSW, and the combined swell energy is absolutely pumping at 8777 (very strong wave energy). That's a big, clean, powerful day. However, that size is well over 8ft, so this one is strictly for the experienced crew. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, but on a day like this with that quality, expect a few others to have the same idea.
Before that, and after it, it’s mostly messy. Saturday the 25th has some size (10ft) but the cross-off wind and average conditions keep it a no-go. From Sunday the 26th all the way through the end of July, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions with strong onshore or cross-shore winds. Don’t waste your time.
There is one more potential flashpoint in the far distance: Saturday, August 8th. Late in the forecast, we see another 13ft swell show up, this time from the WSW. The Saturday afternoon session looks clean with a light offshore from the SSW and that massive 7690 (very strong) energy reading. But again, that size (13ft) is massive and way too big for a point break unless you’re an absolute charger. It’s a long way out, so treat that forecast with a pinch of salt.
The gap between these two big swells is a full week of nothing but junk. So, if you’re paddling out, focus on the Wednesday the 29th window. It’s the one true highlight on offer.
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.
