Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Leggy Point. Gotta be honest, this one’s a bit of a heartbreaker. The swell window is open and we get some proper size, but for the most part the conditions just aren't playing ball.

Right off the bat, there’s a few days of flat or junk surf. It’s not until Wednesday the 16th that things get interesting, and then it’s a real mixed bag. That Wednesday morning, a solid 10ft S swell rolls in with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong (1629), and we’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the SSW at 22 mph. Sounds epic, but here’s the catch: Leggy Point is a beach and reef setup, and 10ft is simply too big for this break. It’s a similar story Wednesday afternoon with 12ft and even more energy (2360). Unless you’re a proper charger on a gun, this is a hard pass. Thursday the 17th morning has the same problem: 10ft S swell, still too much size, despite clean offshore SSW wind at 16 mph.

Now, Thursday afternoon the swell backs off to 7ft from the SSE (period 9 seconds, energy 821), but the score is low and the conditions are marginal. After that, it’s a long, flat run. Friday the 18th morning has a small 5ft SSE swell but it’s messy. The next few days just fizzle out with weak energy and poor winds. We see a tiny blip on Saturday the 19th morning with a 3ft S swell and clean cross-off wind from the WNW at 6 mph, but there’s just not enough push.

The second week is mostly a write-off. There’s a notable bump on Sunday the 27th: a 6ft SE swell (period 6 seconds, energy 328) with a light cross-on breeze. It’s surfable for someone, but it’s not clean and the period is short. Monday the 28th has a similar story but with rain and chop. Tuesday the 29th morning offers a small 3ft ESE swell with a clean offshore from the SW at 9 mph, but the energy is weak (184) and the conditions are just ordinary.

So, the standout moment here, if you can call it that, is really the big swell window from the 16th and 17th. But because the size is dangerous for the break, I can’t recommend it for a paddle. The setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days. Honestly, there’s not a single session I’d paddle out for with any real confidence. It’s a tough outlook, folks. When the swell is there, it’s too big; when it’s the right size, the wind or energy lets us down.
