The Lowdown
Right then, let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Left Point. It’s a point break, intermediate territory, but it’s inconsistent, so you gotta be patient. The first half of the window is a washout for us surfers. Nothing good on offer until Thursday July 16th, so that's a couple of days gap to sit out.
Looking further ahead, the real standout is Thursday July 16th. That morning, we’ve got a SW swell at 8 ft, period of 15 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy, with a combined energy of 2278 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, and the surf will be clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers; it’s not for beginners as the swell is over 5 ft. The lefts should have good shape, though that long period can make it break a bit straight on a beach setup, but for a point like this, it’s a dream. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.
The water temp is 57° with a tiny anomaly of 0.7°, so it’s pretty normal for this time of year—nothing wild there.
The second week gets a bit iffy. Friday July 24th sees a big WNW wind at 28 mph with swell up to 8 ft, but it’s cross-onshore and messy—definitely not for the paddle crew. That might be more interesting for the kite surfers. By Saturday July 25th, the wind calms and goes cross-offshore, but the quality is still marginal. The very end of the run on Sunday July 26th afternoon looks promising again: a 5 ft SW swell with a light offshore wind and 13-second period, clean surf, and lower energy (796). That’s a nice little window to finish on.
So, to sum up: Thursday July 16th is your best bet—clean, solid groundswell at Left Point. After that, keep an eye on the 26th for a cleaner but smaller session. Everything else is either too windy or too small.

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.
