The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one. We’ve got a decent run of groundswell lining up for Left Point, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind.
The main event is a solid, long-period SW groundswell that rolls in from Friday the 14th. The water’s sitting at about 56°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 15. We’ve got a clean 8ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is a light SE cross-off at only 3 mph. It’s going to be glassy, well-shaped, and powerful. The combined wave energy is strong at 2742, so expect some proper grunt. This is one for the experienced crew – that size and period will be pushing it for beginners. The break is inconsistent, so be patient, and it can get a bit crowded here sometimes.
Sunday the 16th is still fun, with the swell dropping to 6ft and a 14-second period. The wind is a light cross-on in the morning, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a SSE cross-off. The energy is still moderate at 1048, making for some good, long rides.
The middle of the week is a washout. From Monday the 17th right through to Thursday the 20th, it’s blown out. Strong onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions make it a total write-off. The swell drops way down, and the energy readings are weak. Not worth paddling out.
We get a bit of a pulse back on Sunday the 23rd. The afternoon looks promising with a 6ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and a clean WSW cross-off wind. The energy is solid at 1944, and the waves will be good for experienced surfers. It’s a strong option for that weekend.
Now, Monday the 24th is a monster. We’re looking at a massive 12ft SW swell, with a 17-second period in the afternoon. The combined energy is off the charts at 11301. The wind is light and offshore, making it clean. But honestly, this is way too big for this break. Unless you’re a top-tier charger with a big-wave gun, give it a miss. It’s an expert-only day, and even then, it’s a lot of water moving around.
The final stretch from the 25th to the 27th is mostly poor again, with strong winds and messy surf. But then, Friday the 28th brings a nice finish. The morning has a 5ft WSW swell with a clean offshore SSW wind, and the afternoon picks up to 6ft with a gentle offshore SW breeze. The energy is moderate to strong, and the waves will be clean and well-shaped. A solid session to end the forecast run.
Overall, the best bet is Saturday the 15th for that clean, powerful groundswell, and then circle Sunday the 23rd and Friday the 28th for the next best windows.
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.
