Left Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up at Left Point. The next few days are looking pretty average with a lot of wind and lumpy conditions, but there are a couple of windows where things clean up nicely. The water’s sitting at 56°F which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first chance of anything decent kicks off on Wednesday morning, the 5th. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SW, period around 10 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the SW. That’s going to scrub things up nicely, and the energy is moderate (732). It’s a bit inconsistent at Left Point, but when it fires, it’s a fun wave. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so get in early.

Wednesday afternoon, the swell holds at 5ft but the period jumps to 14 seconds, and the wind swings to a cross-offshore from the WSW. It’s clean, but the longer period might make it a bit tricky on the takeoff. Still, it’s a solid option.

Now, the standout – and I mean the real standout – is looking like Sunday the 16th in the afternoon. Glassy conditions, swell from the SW at 6ft with a very long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The energy is strong (2504), and the wind is glassy. For experienced surfers, this is the pick of the lot. Just be aware that with such a long period, it might be a bit too straight for a beach break, but Left Point is a point, so it should handle it beautifully.

There’s a big pulse of swell around the 10th and 11th, but it’s messy with strong cross-shore winds on the 10th, and then on the 11th morning, it’s 12ft from the SW – way too big for this spot, and only for experts. The afternoon of the 11th is cleaner but still 10ft, so again, big stuff.

After that, things settle down. Thursday the 13th looks clean and fun with 4ft swell and light cross-offshore winds, good for a cruise.

Later on, the 14th afternoon sees a massive 20ft swell from the SW, but that’s way too big for Left Point. The 15th is also huge with 13ft, again too big. So that’s expert territory only, and even then, it’s probably better for kite surfing given the size and wind.

So, to wrap it up: the best bet for most surfers is Wednesday the 5th morning, and for the experienced crew, Sunday the 16th afternoon is the absolute gem. Keep an eye on the forecast, but it’s looking promising.

Rusty.
