Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s happening at Leggy Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty ordinary. Thursday morning is a write-off with a messy 2ft south swell and a stiff crosswind. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a gentle offshore, but it’s still only 2ft and pretty weak (energy 69). Not worth paddling out for.

Friday morning’s looking better – glassy conditions and a 2ft south swell with a decent 12-second period. It’s still small, but the glassy surface is a treat (energy 178). That’s about as good as it gets for the first week. The rest of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are mostly cross-onshore or choppy with small, weak swell. A bit of a flat spell from the 5th through the 7th, just tiny waves and crummy wind.

Now, things start to turn around Tuesday the 8th. The morning brings a solid 8ft SSE swell with moderate energy (974), clean conditions but that’s getting up there – more for the experienced crew. The afternoon drops to 6ft with a light cross-off breeze (energy 574) and clean. That’s a proper session for intermediates.

The standout? Look at Thursday the 10th – morning has a 8ft SSE swell pumping with strong energy (1321), clean cross-off wind. That’s a big, powerful wave. And then the afternoon is even more interesting: a 5ft SSE swell with a massive 16-second period (energy 1726). That’s groundswell, pure energy. For a beach-and-reef spot like Leggy Point, that long period means the wave will stand up nice on the reef, but at a beach break it can get a bit straight and fast. Still, it’s the best of the forecast.

Friday the 11th morning is another standout: 6ft SSE swell, 11-second period, glassy cross-off wind (energy 1045). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers – clean, solid, and consistent.

Saturday the 12th morning is glassy with a 5ft SSE swell (energy 526) – perfect for a long, clean session. After that, it drops right off. Sunday and Monday are tiny, and from the 15th onward it’s almost flat, with weak energy in the teens and twenties. There’s a little blip on the 18th afternoon with a 2ft SSE swell but a very long 18-second period (energy 410) and a clean offshore breeze – a surprise, but too small to get excited about.

Water temp is sitting at 65°, bang on average for this time of year.

Overall, the real action is from Tuesday the 8th through to Saturday the 12th. The absolute best windows are Thursday the 10th afternoon and Friday the 11th morning. If you’re looking for clean, solid waves, that’s your call. After that, it’s mostly a waiting game.
