Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Leggy Point.

Alright, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn, but there’s some real magic in the middle. You’re looking at a stretch of small or sloppy surf to start, but a decent windswell shows up and then we get a solid push of groundswell that makes it all worthwhile.

Friday, July 3rd, is a write-off. Tiny 1ft E windswell with a short 9-second period and a stiff cross-breeze. The energy is weak (24). Just not worth paddling out.

Saturday, July 4th, we finally see some shape come in, but it’s still small. We’ve got a 3ft S swell with a decent 12-second period, and the wind is super light. The energy is moderate (290). It’s marginal, but it wouldn’t be a bad session if you’re just wanting to get wet. Sunday, July 5th, the swell jumps to 8ft from the S, with a 11-second period, but the wind is strong and cross-off. The energy is strong (1674), but those conditions are going to make it a battle and the quality is looking marginal.

Now, Tuesday, July 7th, is a standout. The swell is a solid 8ft to 8ft from the SSE with a 10 to 11-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The real star is the wind: moderate offshore from the SW and SSW. That’s going to groom the lines perfectly. This is excellent, punchy surf for experienced surfers. The energy is very strong (1239 to 1451). Wednesday, July 8th, is also very good with a 7ft SE swell and light offshore winds in the morning (energy 952). Good shape, clean walls.

The following week, Wednesday, July 15th afternoon is another absolute highlight. This is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a 8ft S swell with a very long 13-second period, and it’s paired with light offshore winds from the SSW. The combined energy is massive (2412). For a reef and beach setup like Leggy Point, that long-period groundswell is a dream. The lines will be lined up and powerful. This is for experienced surfers. Thursday, July 16th, sees the swell go huge – 12ft from the SSE with 13-second period (energy 3947) – but it’s flagged as too big for the break. That’s double overhead plus, and just unruly.

Friday, July 17th, offers a return to some strong, clean power with a 7ft to 7ft S swell and gentle offshore winds. Still excellent.

There are a couple of longer gaps of poor or small surf. The first stretch is from Saturday, July 11th afternoon through Tuesday, July 14th morning – basically three days of tiny, weak, or onshore junk. Then after the big swell on the 16th, Saturday, July 18th gets blown out by a strong 22 mph cross-wind and 10ft swell, so that’s a no-go.

This is Rusty, signing off.
