The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, it’s a bit of a slow start on the menu for the next few days. We’ve got a solid run of clean surf coming, but the first couple of sessions are pretty weak. The real action starts to build later in the week.
The first half of the week is a write-off for anything decent. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are tiny, with poor, choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 29th is flat, basically. A little 0.7ft to 0.3ft groundswell. Forget it.
Things start to turn around on Thursday the 30th. That morning we see a clean 5ft S swell at 10 seconds, with light cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is moderate (396). That’s a surfable wave, but it’s just getting started.
Friday the 31st is the first real standout. That morning, Leggy Point is looking prime. We’ve got a 5ft S swell, 10-second period, with light offshore wind from the SW. Clean, glassy lines. The swell energy is strong (484). That’s the pick of the first week. It’s a bit inconsistent here, so don’t expect a conveyor belt.
Saturday the 1st of August holds nicely, with a 4ft S swell in the morning, still offshore, clean. Good energy (385).
Sunday the 2nd gets a bit messy. The afternoon sees a strong 4ft SSE swell, but it’s a short period 12 seconds, and the wind goes cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy is massive (513), but it’s not clean.
The second week is a mixed bag. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th have clean, ridable 2ft to 3ft swells, but nothing special. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th bring glassy conditions early, but with very short period, weak swells.
Friday the 7th of August morning is interesting. The swell is 5ft from the SE, period is short at 6 seconds, but it’s glassy. Clean but weak energy (224). The afternoon gets blown out.
Saturday the 8th of August morning has a big spike in energy (697) with a 6ft SE swell, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy. The afternoon is a no-go with onshore wind.
Overall, the best window is Friday the 31st through Saturday the 1st of August. That’s your call. The water temp is about 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
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.
