Alright crew, Rusty here. The picture for Left Point starts off pretty wild. For the first few days, we've got a serious amount of energy in the water – we're talking a massive 10,724 (combined energy) on Friday the 3rd, but the wind is just howling from the west at 31 mph. That's a near gale, cross-offshore, which makes it a write-off. Don't even bother paddling out. That big, clean swell is just getting shredded.

The weekend isn't much better for the average surfer. Saturday the 4th is still messy with fresh breeze, but by the afternoon the wind swings offshore from the southwest at 19 mph. You've got 8 ft of SW groundswell (13-second period) coming in, but the combined energy is moderate (2,180). It’s clean and rideable for the experienced surfer, but the swell is a bit lumpy for the less confident. Sunday the 5th goes cross-shore, which ruins the line-up.

Now, here’s a little beacon of hope. Monday the 6th afternoon looks decent. The wind drops to a slight air from the southeast (3 mph), going cross-offshore, and we get a clean 4 ft SW groundswell. The energy is weak (726), so it's not going to be pumping, but for a glassy, clean afternoon session on a point break, you could find a few fun ones. That’s your pick for the first week if you’re keen on something gentle.

We get a bit of a clean-up on Wednesday the 8th. The afternoon sees an offshore breeze from the south at 12 mph, with a 7 ft SW groundswell. This is where the period hits 18 seconds – that's proper long-period groundswell energy. It'll be powerful, with good shape, and the combined energy is moderate (2,748). This is for experienced surfers; anything over 8 ft on a point break gets serious fast. This is the standout of the first week.

Then it gets a bit inconsistent and choppy again through the 9th and 10th, though Friday the 10th afternoon goes glassy with a slight air from the NNW. The swell is 5 ft and weak energy (1,054), so it's clean but small. It's worth a look if you're desperate.

Now, the real headline act. A week from Tuesday, on the 14th of July, Left Point is going to get hammered. We're looking at 15 ft of SW swell with 10-second period. The wind is cross-offshore, but the combined energy is whopping (4,229). The file says it's too big for this break, and it’s right. This is solid expert territory, and it's going to be a washing machine along the point. If you're not a charger, stay on the beach. The 15th and 16th are also blown out by strong winds from the southeast. It calms down towards the 18th, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft.

Crowds at Left Point are a "sometimes" thing, but with the big swells, it'll be a crew of local chargers only. The water temp is 58°F, which is about normal for the time of year.

So, if you’re looking for the best on offer: Wednesday the 8th afternoon is your cleanest, punchiest day for an experienced surfer. For a relaxed session, Monday the 6th afternoon or Friday the 10th glass-off are your best bets. The big stuff on the 14th is only for the brave.

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.

Left Point is 33 km (20 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
