Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles per hour.

We’re looking at a long-range forecast for Left Point, and it’s a real mixed bag of huge potential and frustrating wind. The water here is about normal for the season.

The first chance to surf is Friday, July 10th. There’s a solid 5ft groundswell from the SW with a 15-second period, and the wave energy is pumping at 1100 (moderate). The morning has a light 9 mph north wind, but the afternoon is the real winner with almost no wind and glassy conditions. This is the near-term call to make. It’s a point break, so that long period will wrap in well. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here.

Saturday the 11th is a total mess. The wind hits 22-28 mph from the north, blowing it all out. Sunday the 12th brings a bigger 10ft swell from the WSW, but a 34 mph NW wind is turning it into a washing machine. This is way too big and blown out, honestly, it’s more of a kite day than a paddle day.

Monday the 13th is even worse. We’re looking at a massive 12ft SW swell with a 15-16 second period, giving us a 5644 (very strong) energy reading, but it’s got a 31 mph cross-onshore wind. No chance.

Now, Tuesday the 14th is the big one, but it’s a serious situation. The swell is 13ft from the WSW with a 16-second period, and the energy is through the roof at 13998 (very strong). The wind is clean and cross-offshore, and the forecast says the wind and tide are favorable. But this is a genuine giant, and it’s predicted to be too big for this break. This is for absolute experts only. It’s a raw, powerful, dangerous day.

The rest of the week into the next is a downer. Wednesday the 15th through Sunday the 19th is a drag of dropping swell and persistent cross-shore or onshore winds. The swell drops from 8ft down to 3ft, but the wind is never right. Thursday the 16th afternoon has a clean offshore breeze on a 6ft SW swell, but it’s just a fleeting moment.

After that, it’s a long, flat spell. From Monday the 20th all the way through Saturday the 25th, we’ve got tiny, weak surf with shifty winds. The swell barely gets to 5ft, and even then it’s blown out. There’s a small window of clean wind on the 21st, but the swell is only 2ft, so it’s not worth the drive.

So, to sum it up: Friday the 10th afternoon is your clean, fun wave. Tuesday the 14th is a massive, dangerous, clean swell for the brave. The rest is a bit of a write-off.

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.
