Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The surf’s been pretty flat out there, but things are looking up soon.

Right now, there’s barely a bump on the cards at Leggy Point. Wednesday is a write-off with tiny, weak swell and only 31 units of combined energy – basically nothing. You’ll be floating around with your board under your arm.

Thursday morning, though, we see a pulse arrive. Swell jumps to 6 ft from the south with a period of 10 seconds, and combined energy hits 609 (moderate). Winds are light offshore from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. That’s your first real chance this window. The morning is the pick, as the afternoon turns cross-off and drops a little, plus conditions get more marginal.

Friday morning looks even better – 6 ft south swell, 11-second period (that’s a nice long period groundswell), and gentle offshore wind from the SW. Energy is up to 651. It’ll be clean and well-shaped, especially for a point break setup like this. This is the standout of the first week.

Saturday morning is glassy, with a 5 ft SSE swell. Light WSW wind, dead calm. It’ll be clean but the period is 10 seconds, so nothing too juicy. Still a solid session.

Now, there’s a bit of a drop-off from Sunday through to Tuesday morning – small, onshore, messy. Not worth paddling out.

But then Wednesday, August 5th morning, we get a return of clean, glassy conditions with 5 ft from the south, period 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 333 (moderate). Nice little mid-week window.

Thursday August 6th morning is another one to circle. Swell jumps again to 6 ft from the south, 9-second period, light offshore wind from the SW, and energy reading 988 – that’s strong, clean surf. This is likely the best of the second week.

Friday August 7th morning holds similar quality – 6 ft SSE, 10-second period, gentle offshore wind. Clean again.

Now, fast forward to Wednesday August 12th. That morning is a proper standout for experienced surfers. Swell hits 8 ft from the south, period 11 seconds, combined energy of 1393 (very strong), and it’s glassy with NNE breeze. That’s powerful, clean, and will have some serious push. Not for beginners – over 8 ft is expert territory.

Thursday August 13th gets too big. Swell is 10-12 ft from the SSE and south. Combined energy over 2000. Winds are cross or cross-off, but the size is just too much for this break. It’s for the brave only.

A note on the water: it’s 65°F, which is about average for this time of year – no weirdness there.

Leggy Point is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the south swell, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect waves to just march in. But when it’s on, it’s worth the wait. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company on the good days.

Alright, I’ve given you the good windows. Get out there when it’s clean.
