Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up here at Leggy Point. The ocean’s going to be doing some talking, but it’s not all going to be worth listening to.

The first bit of real hope shows up on Tuesday the 8th. We’re looking at a 7ft swell from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. It’s not going to be spotless, but it’s clean and there’s some push to it. The energy is moderate at 564, so there’s something to work with. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is pretty much right where it should be for this time of year – no surprises there.

The real standout though is going to be Thursday the 10th. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 7ft from the SSE, and the period stretches out to 11 seconds. The wind goes offshore, and it’s just going to make the place feel like a different spot. The energy is pumping at 1221, which is strong. This is the one to circle on the calendar if you’re an experienced surfer. It’s going to have some size and some grunt to it. Friday the 11th morning holds some of that magic too – 7ft at 10 seconds with a gentle offshore breeze. It’ll be very good, maybe not as perfect as Thursday arvo, but still well worth the paddle out.

Now, there’s a bit of a lull after that. Saturday the 12th morning is glassy and clean, but the swell drops to 4ft. It’s surfable, but it’s nothing special. From Saturday afternoon, it starts to fade and get messy with the wind swinging onshore. We’re looking at a stretch of small, poor waves from the 13th through to maybe the 18th. There are a few windows, like Wednesday the 16th morning and Thursday the 17th morning, where it cleans up a touch, but the size just isn’t there. It’s more of a longboard or a grovel board kind of deal.

The longest gap of anything worthwhile is that stretch from the 13th to the 18th. It’s not going to be flat, but it’s going to be pretty ordinary. The swell energy drops right off, and we’re dealing with small, short-period leftovers.

Looking further out, the last week of the forecast is pretty quiet. There’s a hint of a longer-period swell around the 19th, with a 17-second period, but the size is barely a ripple at 2ft. It’s not going to break the bank. The 18th afternoon might have a little clean 3ft wave at 12 seconds, but it's tiny.

So, here’s the bottom line: Thursday afternoon is your best bet. It’s the best quality, biggest swell, and the wind is right. Friday morning is a solid second. After that, you’re mostly chasing small, clean waves, and it’s going to take some patience. It’s not a brilliant run, but those two days are proper. Keep your eye on Thursday.

Rusty.
