Table - best surf conditions forecast for Leggy Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what Leggy Point’s got cookin’.
First couple of days – Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th – are dead. Tiny little bumps, messy winds, not worth your time.
Then Wednesday the 15th morning fires up. That’s the one. Leggy Point gets a nice 2.2m swell out of the SSW with a 10-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the SW. Combined wave energy is pumping at 1134 (moderate to strong). This is for the experienced crew only – too big for beginners. That morning window is the pick of the whole 16 days.
Wednesday afternoon stays big at 2.3m from the S with 11-second period, but the wind goes cross-offshore and the energy jumps to 2049 (very strong). Still good, but that morning session is the gem.
Thursday the 16th morning holds 2.2m from the S, period drops to 8 seconds, wind is offshore from the SSW – clean but it’s more of a windswell. Afternoon gets gusty with 35 km/h winds, quality slips.
Friday the 17th drops to 1.4m and then 1.0m in the afternoon, light breeze, some rain – surfable but nothing to write home about. From Saturday the 18th through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s flat and poor: small waves, onshore and cross-shore winds, low energy. A long dry spell.
There’s a tiny blip on Tuesday the 21st morning: 0.8m from the ENE with glassy conditions. Super small, but if you’ve got a longboard and patience, you could scratch into a few.
From Wednesday the 22nd onward it’s mostly flat and ugly. The only other pulse comes Sunday the 26th afternoon with 2.2m from the S, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s marginal. Monday the 27th has a 2.0m S swell with cross-off winds, but it’s not that clean, punchy quality from earlier.
Water temp at the start is 19°, right around average for this time of year – nothing weird.
Bottom line: there’s one real standout – Wednesday the 15th morning at Leggy Point. Big, clean, offshore wind, strong energy. That’s the session you mark on the calendar. Everything else is either small or just okay.
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.
