Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of days are pretty flat and messy around here. We’ve got a bit of swell on the way, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about until we get further into the forecast. There’s a lot of small, weak surf with light and variable winds, which means it’s going to be a bit of a scratch for the most part. The water is sitting at 64° Fahrenheit, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing crazy going on there.

We’re looking at Wednesday the 5th with a tiny 1ft easterly windswell. The energy is weak, only about 32, and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s not going to be worth getting wet for. Thursday the 6th is a little more of the same, with a clean 1ft south swell in the morning, but the energy is still low at 53. The afternoon bumps up slightly to 2ft but the wind goes onshore, so it’s still pretty ordinary.

Friday the 7th brings a bit of hope. The swell is a touch better at 2ft from the SSE, and the morning wind is a light cross-offshore from the west. The energy is moderate at 117, and it’s clean. It’s not big, but it’s surfable. Saturday the 8th has a glassy 1ft south swell in the morning, but the energy is weak again at 68. It’s clean, but there’s just not much push to it.

Sunday the 9th has a 3ft east swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and the energy is only 109. The afternoon glass-off looks okay with 2ft, but it’s still pretty weak. Monday the 10th gets blown out. The wind is howling from the WNW at 25 mph, which is a strong cross-offshore, and it might produce a 4ft east swell, but it’s going to be a mess. The energy is a bit higher at 315, but it’s not going to be clean.

Tuesday the 11th is interesting. The morning has a clean 3ft south swell with a 13-second period. The energy is up to 372. But the period is long, which might make it a bit fat at a beach break, but it’s better than nothing. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore. It's a maybe. The rest of the week stays small and pretty poor.

Now, let's talk about the good stuff. Thursday the 14th is where it’s at. The morning brings a 7ft south swell with a 12-second period. The energy jumps to 1136, which is strong. The wind is a moderate offshore from the southwest, and it’s clean. This is the standout. It’s bigger, it’s got power, and the wind is right. It’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon will hold on with 6ft and a 10-second period, still good at 820 energy. Friday the 15th is still fun, with 4ft and 4ft on the cards, but the energy drops a bit.

Then we get a big jump. Monday the 17th sees a 8ft south swell, but the winds are all over the place, making it a bit rough and choppy. The energy is strong at 841, but the cross-shore winds will make it tricky. Tuesday the 18th is a real story. The morning is glassy, with a 10ft south swell and an 11-second period. The energy is through the roof at 3961. But, and this is a big but, 10ft is just too big for this spot. It’s going to be a washing machine, and even for the experts, it’s going to be a heavy session. The afternoon drops to 8ft but the wind is onshore, so it’s not good.

The rest of the window stays on the bigger side, with 8ft on Wednesday the 19th, but the winds are onshore or cross-shore, so it’s not going to be clean. Thursday the 20th has a 6ft swell, but the cross-shore winds are still up.

So, if you’re looking for the best bet, it’s Thursday the 14th, hands down. Get out there early. The week after that has size, but the conditions just aren’t there. Keep an eye on it, though.
