The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Leggy Point.
There’s a decent pulse of swell on the way, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at 64° and that’s about average for the time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The first real standout is Friday, July 31st. It’s not the biggest, but it’s the cleanest. We’ve got a solid 7ft of south swell rolling in with a 10-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the SSW. That’s going to be a proper session for experienced surfers. The wave energy is strong (1423), and the combo of size and offshore wind means it’ll be rippable. If you’re not an intermediate or better, this one might be a bit much, but it’s the best of the early run. The afternoon stays clean but the wind goes cross-off, so not as good.
The next real bright spot is Saturday, August 15th. Now, this is a big one, but it comes with a serious caveat. The swell is forecast to be a massive 16ft from the SSE with a long 11-second period. That’s a huge amount of energy (5543), and the wind is a light cross-onshore, which is a little disappointing. The big issue here is that the guidance says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a heavy-duty, experts-only proposition. If you’re a pro, it might be worth a look, but for most of us, it’s a day to watch from the rocks.
Outside of those two, the rest of the 16-day window is pretty quiet. The weekend after the 31st drops off fast, with Saturday morning being small and clean but with a weak 5ft and a short 9-second period. The wave energy is low (404). It’s surfable but nothing to get excited about. Sunday sees a longer period (13 seconds) but with a cross-onshore wind, so it’s messy. The following week is a real lull, with tiny waves and poor conditions dominating from Monday the 3rd right through to the 14th. There’s a brief uptick on Wednesday the 5th with 3ft of south swell and clean conditions, but it’s small and inconsistent. The energy is only 267. Nothing to write home about.
So, your best bet is Friday, July 31st for a solid, clean, medium-sized swell. And if you’re an absolute charger, the 15th of August is a giant, dangerous, and uncertain prospect. Stay safe out there.
Rusty.

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.
