Left Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let’s get into it. The next couple weeks are a mixed bag for Left Point, no doubt about it. This is a point break (Left Point), pretty exposed to the swell and inconsistent by nature, so we’re waiting on the right combo. The water temp is sitting at 57°, about 2° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the mild side for late August.

The region here is consistent throughout, so no need to bounce around. The first real standout to lock in your calendar is Friday afternoon, 28 August. Swell bumps to 7 ft from the SW, with a solid 17-second period pushing a massive combined energy (2507). Wind is offshore from the SW, glassy—that’s where you want to be. It’s hefty for beginners over 5 ft, but for experienced surfers, this is the best of the early window.

Monday afternoon, 31 August, is another true gem. You’ve got 6 ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and it’s glassy, absolutely dead calm (2026). That’s the kind of session where you’re trading waves with nobody but the pelicans. This break can have crowds sometimes, so that glassy window might earn you some space.

There’s a long dry spell after that, with messy winds hammering things from 1 September through the 4th. A few sessions are blown out or too onshore. Then we get a big one on Saturday afternoon, 5 September: 10 ft SW swell, 14-second period, generating a thumping 5770 energy. That’s expert territory—over 8 ft it’s for the big dogs only. Wind is cross-offshore from the WSW and clean. If you’ve got the chops, this is the standout of the whole run.

After that, things get messy again with strong onshore winds on the 6th and 7th, and by the 8th it’s fading fast. But there’s a late flicker on Wednesday afternoon, 9 September: 6 ft SW, 11-second period, light offshore winds from the south (1633). Clean, good shape, and that’s a nice note to close the first week of September.

The long-range stuff around 10 and 11 September has some chunky swell (8 ft on Thursday morning, with 16-second period and 3227 energy) but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s more of a maybe. The afternoon of the 10th looks cleaner with light cross-offshore winds (3022), so keep an eye on that.

Overall, the best is clearly Friday 28 August afternoon, and Saturday 5 September afternoon for the brave. Everything else is picking scraps. No big gaps of dead nothing, just a lot of marginal days.
