Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s get into what Leggy Point has in store for the next couple of weeks. This spot is a beach and reef setup, a little inconsistent, and it’s exposed to the south-east. Water’s sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year.
First chance to get wet is Saturday the 4th of July, Saturday morning. A clean 4-foot south swell, with a light cross-off breeze from the north-west. Wave energy is moderate at 392. Nice little warm-up for the weekend.
Now, the big one – the standout – is Sunday morning the 5th. A serious 10-foot south swell, 11-second period, and a fresh cross-off wind from the south. Energy rockets up to 2145 (strong). Problem is, 10-foot is too big for Leggy Point. The wind is cross-off, not true offshore, so it’s going to be a chaotic, powerful mess. Only for the hardcore, and not for the faint of heart.
The next gem is Friday the 10th, Friday morning. You get a 8-foot south-south-east swell, a very long 11-second period, and the wind drops to zero – dead glassy conditions. Combined energy is 1244 (strong). This is a groundswell, so the long period will give it shape, but at a beach break it might reel a little straight; at Leggy Point’s reef and point, it’ll be pure quality. This one is for experienced surfers only.
After that, the swell goes flat. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are tiny with rubbish wind. Then from the 14th to the 16th, we get a massive pulse of 12-foot to 8-foot south swells with fresh 22 mph offshore winds and energy well over 3000. Again, way too big, and with a beach and reef setup, it’s honestly more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
Things tidy up by Sunday the 19th. A manageable 8-foot south-south-east swell, gentle offshore breeze, and clean conditions. That Sunday morning and afternoon will be excellent for experienced surfers.
Best of the lot? That glassy Friday the 10th. Get it while it’s clean.
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.
