The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Left Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of proper windows where this place will fire.
Water temp is about 55.9°F, which is par for the course around now. The first real action kicks off on Friday the 14th. We’re looking at a solid SW swell around 9.8ft, but the morning is blown out with a cross-shore and a moderate breeze leaving things messy. The afternoon drops a touch to 8.2ft and cleans up okay, but the tide is questionable. Not the day to drop everything.
Saturday the 15th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is glassy with the swell easing to 7.9ft, and that’s a big positive. The energy is still strong, and with the swell coming from the SW at 15 seconds, it’s got some push. The afternoon goes offshore with a 7.5ft SW swell and clean conditions. This is a proper window for experienced surfers.
Sunday the 16th sees the swell drop to the 5.2-5.9ft range. The morning has a light cross-onshore bump, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-off breeze and a 5.2ft SW swell. It’s surfable, but not the standout.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are poor. Onshore winds and chop kill the vibe. The swell is small, around 4.6ft, and the surface is messy. Not worth the paddle. The energy drops off too.
Things pick up again on Friday the 21st. The morning is marginal with a light cross-shore, but the afternoon is the one. A 5.6ft SW swell with a gentle offshore wind, clean lines, and a period of 14 seconds. This is looking good.
Saturday the 22nd is a write-off. A near gale rips through with 34 mph winds and a building swell. It’s big, but it’s not clean. This is past surfable and leaning more towards kite surfing territory.
Sunday the 23rd is a solid return. The swell settles to 8.2ft in the morning, but it’s the afternoon that shines. A 7.5ft SW swell, light winds, and clean conditions. This is another standout for experienced surfers.
Monday the 24th is poor again with onshore winds and chop. Then comes Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. The swell is pumping, hitting 13ft, but it’s just too big for this break. Even though the wind is favorable and it’s clean, this is expert-only, and honestly, it’s pushing the limits. The energy readings are massive, but size kills it for most.
The tail end of the week, Thursday the 27th, brings it back into range. A 7.2ft SSW swell in the morning with light cross-off winds and clean conditions. That’s a good one. The afternoon drops to 5.2ft with a solid offshore breeze.
Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th see the swell back in the 5.2-6.9ft zone, but the winds get a bit messy again. The best of the bunch is Saturday afternoon – glassy conditions with a 5.2ft SW swell.
So, the pick of the crop is Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 23rd afternoons. Both have solid SW swells, clean winds, and good energy. The 27th morning is also worth a look. Keep an eye on the 25th and 26th – it’s on, but only for the heavies. It’s a bit of a wait, but there’s fun to be had.
Catch ya in the water.

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.
