Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up.

Alright, we're looking at a wild ride ahead. Water temp's sitting right on 66°, pretty normal for this time of year. The standout is Leggy Point, a beach and reef set-up exposed to the south-east. Now, this spot is *inconsistent*, so when it turns on, you gotta pay attention.

Here's the deal: The beginning of the period is a washout for most. The swell is absolutely pumping, over 10ft, with moderate to strong energy (2222+), but it's way too big and the wind is a messy cross-off. This is really only for the absolute experts, and even then, it's a heavy slog.

The first real window of opportunity kicks off on Wednesday, the 8th of July. We've got the swell dropping a touch to 8ft with a moderate 11-second period from the south-east, and the wind turns offshore (SW) in the morning. The conditions are clean, but the combined energy is still strong (1674), and for a beach and reef break, that's a lot of power. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but beginners should stay well clear.

Things start to settle down nicely from Thursday, the 9th of July, into the weekend. The swell drops to 7ft on Thursday, still with clean offshore winds (WSW). Friday, the 10th, looks like the pick of the week. The swell drops to a much more manageable 5ft to 6ft, the period is a solid 10 seconds, and the wind is light and offshore (SW). Combined energy is moderate (646). This is when Leggy Point should start offering up some proper, clean lines. Crowds are possible here, but with the inconsistent nature of the break, it's a gamble worth taking.

Then we hit a real flat patch. From Saturday, the 11th of July, right through to Wednesday, the 15th, the surf is poor. The swell drops way down, the wind turns messy and onshore, and the energy fades to weak (down to 11). It's a proper lull.

We then get a massive pulse of energy coming in around Thursday, the 16th of July, but again, it's too big at 12ft, even with strong offshore winds. That's not a paddling session; that's a tow-in or a kite day.

The next real standout is a very long-range prospect on Friday, the 17th of July. We've got a solid 8ft south-south-east swell with an *extremely long* 16-second period, and light offshore wind. This is the best setup on paper. The combined energy will be very strong (5633). This is a classic groundswell, and on a beach and reef break, it might be a bit too straight. But for an inconsistent spot, if it lines up right during that morning, it could be the session of the entire outlook. It's a promise, but a long-range one.

So, to sum it up: the best bets are the morning of Thursday, 9th July and especially Friday, 10th July for a more friendly, clean session. The long-range, high-risk, high-reward window is the morning of Friday, 17th July.

Keep it salty.

Rusty.
