The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for this stretch of coast. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of size and a lot of wind to deal with, but there are some absolute gems hiding in there if you’re patient.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. We’ve got a serious pulse of swell coming in on Friday the 4th of September, with a 10ft SW groundswell (16-second period), but the wind is howling from the NW at 15 mph, making it a cross-on mess. The energy is massive (5168), but the quality is zero. Saturday the 5th is even worse with a near gale, so don’t even bother.
Things start to turn around on Sunday the 6th. The swell drops to a cleaner 8ft, and by the afternoon, the wind goes light and cross-off, with the combined energy at a solid 1566. It’s not the biggest, but for a Sunday sesh, it’s a good, clean wave for experienced surfers.
Now, the real standout is a stunner on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning session at Left Point is looking prime. We’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell, but the period is a long 18 seconds, bringing in that smooth, powerful energy. The wind is dead glassy, with the combined energy still a healthy 1840. That’s a magic window for a point break like this – clean, lined-up, and all to yourself if you’re early. The afternoon is also excellent with a light offshore breeze.
The middle of the week gets silly big. On Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, the swell pumps up to 12ft with a very long 19-second period. The energy readings are off the charts (16076!), but that’s proper expert territory. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be a clean, heaving wall, but it’s only for the experienced crew. The same goes for the following week, with another monster swell on the 17th and 18th of September hitting 21ft. That’s a big, big ocean.
The best bet for the average surfer is the second weekend. Saturday the 12th of September is a beauty. The morning is glassy again with a 6ft, 15-second SW swell (1659 energy). Clean, easy to paddle, and just a really fun size. The afternoon holds up well too. And then on Saturday the 19th of September, we get a nice drop back to 7ft with a clean offshore wind to finish the forecast period.
So, to sum it up: forget the first weekend. The absolute standout is Tuesday the 8th of September for the glassy, long-period groundswell. The second best is the glassy morning of Saturday the 12th. The giant mid-week swells are for the big-wave chargers only.
Rusty.

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.
