Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Leggy Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a gap to start. No real surf to shout about until Friday the 10th of July. The water temperature is sitting at about 66°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The standout session is going to be Friday afternoon, July 10. We’re looking at a solid 6 ft swell coming out of the SE, and the wind is glassy from the SSE at just 3 mph. That’s clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate (588), and the setup is a beach and reef, so it should be handling that SE direction nicely. It’s a bit inconsistent here at Leggy Point, so you’ll have to be patient, but when a set rolls through, it’ll be well worth the wait. If you’re an intermediate surfer, this is your window. Mind you, the swell is over 5 ft, so beginners might find it a bit much.
Moving into Saturday morning, July 11, the swell drops to 4 ft from the SE, but the wind is a cross-shore from the NW at 9 mph. It’s surfable, but nothing special – just a marginal call. The rest of that weekend and into the start of the next week looks flat or pretty poor.
Then we get another promising window. Wednesday morning, July 15, the swell picks up again with a 5 ft S swell and a nice offshore wind from the SW at 9 mph. The wave energy is strong (733), so there’s plenty of power in the water. The period is 10 seconds, which is good for a groundswell, creating some well-shaped waves. This is the other standout in the period. Again, it’s over 5 ft, so keep it for the more experienced crew.
Thursday afternoon, July 16, also looks decent with a 5 ft S swell and light cross-offshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph. The energy is back up (512), and conditions should be very good.
After that, the forecast gets quiet again for the second week, with a long stretch from around Friday the 17th through to the 25th offering small, weak surf. There are a few days with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny, barely breaking. It’s a blank run for the area, but that’s not unusual for Leggy Point. Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change.
So to sum up: Friday afternoon, July 10 is the best bet for a glassy, clean session, and Wednesday morning, July 15 is the next solid opportunity with proper swell and offshore winds.
Rusty.

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.
