Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards for Leggy Point, kicking off this Friday and running through the weekend. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real action starts Friday morning, July 24th, with a clean 5ft south swell rolling in at 10 seconds. The wind is offshore out of the southwest, so expect some glassy, peeling lines. The energy is solid at (480), and it’s a good, honest intermediate wave. Friday afternoon holds up nicely too, with a 5ft south swell and light cross-offshore wind keeping things tidy.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is up to 6ft from the south, but with a cross-shore wind, it’ll be a little jumbled. However, Saturday afternoon is a true standout. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and the swell drops slightly to 5ft but with a lovely 11-second period. This is going to be the best session of the weekend. The energy is moderate at (453), but the conditions will be world-class.

Sunday, July 26th, is another winner. Both the morning and afternoon sessions are clean, with 5ft and 6ft south swells, light cross-offshore winds, and very good energy readings (625) and (622) respectively. This is a long weekend of quality.

Monday morning, July 27th, is still good with a glassy, 4ft south swell, but the afternoon fades quickly as the wind turns onshore, killing the shape. From Tuesday, July 28th, through to Wednesday, July 29th, the surf drops right off. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves with poor energy (down to 18). That’s a gap of a couple of days with nothing worth paddling for.

Things pick up again on Thursday, July 30th, with a 4ft south-southeast swell, but it’s accompanied by rain showers and a strong offshore wind. The energy is back up to (308), but it’ll be a bit raw. Friday, July 31st, offers a clean 4ft south swell with moderate offshore wind, a solid option for a morning session.

The first week of August is largely a write-off for quality surf. Small, weak swells and poor winds dominate. There’s a brief flicker on Tuesday, August 4th, with a 5ft south swell in the afternoon, but it’s a short period, so it’ll be a bit fat and messy. On Thursday, August 6th, there’s a clean 5ft south swell with light cross-offshore winds, but the overall energy is moderate and the conditions are just okay.

The real long-range standout is on Saturday, August 8th. A glassy, 3ft south-southeast groundswell, but get this – the period is a massive 13 seconds, and the energy is (364). This is a very long period groundswell. A spot like Leggy Point, a beach and reef setup, will handle this well, giving you long, walled-up rides. It’s a promising sign for the second week, but as always with a forecast that far out, keep your fingers crossed. The afternoon on that day gets messy with onshore wind, so grab the morning session.

Rusty.
