The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Leggy Point’s got on tap for the next couple weeks.
First off, this spot doesn’t break often, so when it does, you better be ready. Right now it’s dead flat. July 14 – barely a ripple with 0.3ft slop and a 20-second period that’s way too long for this beach-and-reef setup. Water temp is 65.5°, about normal for this time of year.
Then things ramp up fast. On Wednesday July 15, the morning shows a building 7.2ft swell from the south with a short 8-second period and fresh offshore southwest wind at 19 mph. Clean but marginal – that short period means waves might be a bit soft. But by Wednesday afternoon, we’ve got a serious pulse: 9.8ft from the south, 10-second period, and strong cross-off wind from SSW at 22 mph. Combined energy is 1507 – that’s powerful. For most of you, this is too big. Leggy Point can handle it, but only for the experienced. The wind is cross-off so the faces will be clean, but that size will be intimidating. If you’re not an expert, skip it.
Thursday July 16 drops to 6.6-7.2ft but with onshore winds and short period – messy. Friday and Saturday are small and average. There’s a gap of a few days with nothing special.
Come Wednesday July 22: a small 3.3ft easterly swell with a 10-second period rolls in, and the wind is light cross-off from WNW in the morning, then shifts to SSE in the afternoon. Clean but knee-high. Fun for a longboard, but nothing to write home about.
Now here’s the one to mark on your calendar – Saturday July 25 morning. Swell is 4.9ft from the east, period 12 seconds (groundswell), and the wind is offshore from the southwest at 9 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the combined energy is 655 – moderate but well-shaped. The optimum direction here is southeast, and we’re coming from east, which is close enough. This is the best session in the whole 16-day window

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.
