The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lining up for us.

The next couple of weeks have a bit of a slow start, but there’s a serious pulse of energy coming through that will get the heart pumping. The main story is all about Left Point, and it’s got a few windows that are going to be worth paddling out for.

The Overall Pattern

We’re looking at a classic point break setup. The water is sitting at 56.5° right now, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell is mostly coming from the SW, which is a solid direction for this spot, and we’ve got a lot of deep ocean energy pushing in. The combined energy readings are massive, often hitting four and five-digit numbers (1945, 9703, 6784), so there’s plenty of power in the water. The key is timing the wind right, because when it’s offshore here, it’s a thing of beauty.

Sunday, September 6th – Monday, September 7th

We get things started with a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday morning has a clean 7.2ft SW swell, but the wind is a cross-off, so it’s not perfect. The afternoon drops a little to 6.2ft, still cross-off. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Monday is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops right off to 3.3ft and 3.0ft, and while we get a strong offshore wind, the energy is weak (479 and 521). It’s clean, but there’s just not enough push to get excited.

The Standout: Tuesday, September 8th

Now this is where it gets interesting. Tuesday morning we’ve got a 3.9ft SW swell, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is 1684. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so there’s a slight chop, but the shape from that long period will be incredible. The afternoon is even better: 4.6ft SW, 17-second period, 1812 energy, and a clean cross-off breeze. This is a premium window for Left Point. The long period means the waves will have real power, and because it’s a point break, they’ll wrap in beautifully. It’s not going to be too big, so it’s accessible for strong intermediates, and the crowds are only “sometimes,” so you might get a few waves to yourself. This is the best on offer in the first week.

Wednesday, September 9th – Thursday, September 10th (The Big Stuff)

The swell absolutely detonates. We’re looking at 11.5ft SW swell on Wednesday, with 16 to 18-second periods and combined energy readings of 6784 and 9703. That is a serious amount of ocean moving. The wind is strong offshore (25 mph) on Wednesday morning, which would be beautiful, but honestly, at 11.5ft, this is expert territory. It’s too big for most. Thursday keeps the same 11.5ft and 9.8ft size, but the wind goes cross-off. The power is immense, but you’d better have your big-wave gear and your courage. This is a legit heavy session for the skilled crew only.

Friday, September 11th – Saturday, September 12th (The Sweet Spot)

After the big swell peaks, it settles into a really nice band. Friday morning has 6.9ft SW with 14-second period and 1855 energy. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean. But the real standout is Friday afternoon: 6.9ft SW, 14-second period, 1712 energy, and a light offshore breeze from the SSW. That’s gentle offshore and clean. It’s got power, it’s got shape, and it’s not terrifying. Saturday morning is a bit of a write-off with onshore wind, but Saturday afternoon comes back with 5.9ft SW, 15-second period, 1393 energy, and a light cross-off breeze. It’s a beautiful, clean window for experienced surfers. This is another top-tier session.

The Second Week (September 13th – September 21st)

The second week is a bit of a rollercoaster. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are a mess with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. Not worth it. Tuesday the 15th sees another big pulse of 11.5ft SW swell, but again, it’s too big for the average surfer with 6553 and 8235 energy. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are a bit of a mix, with cleaner conditions on Thursday afternoon (7.9ft SW, 10-second period, 2349 energy, light breeze

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.
