The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it up for the imperial crew.
Water temp is about 65°F—normal for the season, nothing weird.
Monday morning at Leggy Point is the first chance: a 4ft S swell at 9 seconds, light cross-off wind from the WSW, energy reading 207—moderate. It’s clean, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon gets onshore and messy, so get it early.
Tuesday and Wednesday are dead. Tiny waves, weak energy, not worth paddling out.
Thursday 30 July is the real deal. Morning brings offshore wind, a 6ft S swell at 10 seconds, energy spiking to 795—strong. Clean, powerful, for experienced surfers. The afternoon hits 8ft with the same direction, energy 1596, and cross-off wind. This is the best of the run. Crowds are *sometimes* here, so expect a few others in the lineup.
Friday 31 July keeps the size with 7ft in the morning, offshore, energy 957. The afternoon gets gusty, but still solid.
The weekend fades. Saturday 1 August has a 5ft SSE swell with offshore wind, energy 516, but it’s less consistent. Sunday and Monday drop off.
The second week has a pulse on 8 August—Saturday afternoon: 8ft ESE swell, 9 seconds, energy 1767—that’s big and raw, but tide and wind make it marginal. Only for the experts.
The standout is clearly Thursday 30 July through Friday 31 July. Big, clean, and powerful. Thursday morning is the pick.
Outside that, there’s not much to shout about—long gaps with no real action.
Rusty.

Information about the Leggy Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Leggy Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Leggy Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Leggy 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 (Leggy 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 Leggy 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.
