The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk feet, degrees, and miles per hour.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy. Leggy Point is a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to swell, though it can be inconsistent. Here’s the rundown.
Thursday July 23 is a dud – small, weak, and messy. Skip it.
Friday July 24 morning is the first real highlight. We’ve got a 7ft S swell (1186 combined energy) with a 9 mph offshore wind from the SW. Clean, glassy, excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the best of the first week. The afternoon goes cross and drops off.
Saturday and Sunday (July 25-26) mornings hold 5ft S swells (685 and 740 combined energy) with clean cross-off breezes. Very good surf.
End of July (30-31) brings a massive spike – 15ft swell on the 30th morning (8088 combined energy) and bigger. Too big for the spot – experts only, and honestly better for kiting.
Saturday August 1 morning is a solid standout: a 8ft SSE swell (1371 combined energy) with light winds and clean conditions. Excellent for advanced surfers. Sunday is smaller but okay. Monday August 3 is tiny.
Another big pulse on Wednesday August 5 (10ft SE, 1049 combined energy) – again, only for the experts. The final good window is Friday August 7 morning – a 6ft SE swell (318 combined energy) with glassy conditions. Clean and fun for the weekend crew.
The two to circle are Friday July 24 morning and Saturday August 1 morning. Don’t sleep on those.
Rusty.

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.
