Table - best surf conditions forecast for Leggy Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk feet and miles per hour for Leggy Point. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the south-east swell, but it’s inconsistent, so it takes a special day to fire. Right now, we’re in a long, dead stretch. From today through the first week of July, it’s flat, tiny, or blown out. Don’t even think about it.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday morning, July 15th. An 8-foot south swell (10 seconds) rolls in with a fresh offshore wind from the southwest, making it clean. The wave energy is strong (1232). That’s a big wave – over 8 feet – so it’s for experts only. The afternoon stays big at 8 feet but the wind goes cross-offshore, still clean.
Thursday the 16th drops to around 7 feet from the south in the morning, still clean, but the period is shorter. It’s a solid wave but the rain showers aren’t ideal. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.
After that, it’s a washout until Tuesday morning, July 21st. A 4-foot east swell (10 seconds) with a moderate offshore wind from the west-southwest. The energy is moderate (378). Clean, but not big.
The standout day is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. It’s glassy. Dead calm. A 4-foot south swell (7 seconds) with no wind. The energy is moderate (359). For an inconsistent spot like this, a glassy morning with a little swell is a gift. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
The rest of the month goes flat again. This is just how it goes here sometimes – a long dry spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your eyes on the 15th or the 22nd.
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.
