Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Leggy Point.

The next few days are giving us a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some real quality brewing if you're patient. The water temp is sitting right around normal for this time of year at 66°, so nothing to worry about there.

The first real chance to get wet is Sunday morning, the 6th, but honestly, it's pretty weak. We're looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the south with a short period, and combined energy is a paltry 37. It's clean with a light offshore wind, but there's just not enough push to get excited about.

Sunday afternoon gets a little more interesting with a jump to 4ft from the south, but that 8-second period is still a bit short and the wind is cross-off, making it a bit awkward. The combined energy is still low at 188.

Now, Monday morning the 7th is where it starts to get good. The swell is up to 5ft from the SSE, and the wind is glassy. That's a proper session. The combined energy is moderate at 280, and the conditions are going to be super clean. This is a solid option for an intermediate surfer.

Monday afternoon the wind swings around onshore and gets choppy, so that window is gone.

Tuesday the 8th is a standout. The morning has a solid 8ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 1069. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean. This is expert territory, though, as it's right on the 8ft mark. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 7ft but still very clean with a light breeze and a combined energy of 710. This is a great day if you've got the skills.

Wednesday the 9th starts clean with a 5ft swell and light offshore winds, but the afternoon is a write-off with 25 mph winds. Thursday the 10th is for the experienced crew only: a 8ft south swell with a 10-second period and a massive combined energy of 1520. The morning offshore wind will make it really clean. Friday the 11th is similar, with a 8ft south swell and a combined energy of 1021 in the morning, plus a light cross-off breeze.

We then hit a bit of a lull from Saturday the 12th through to Tuesday the 15th, with smaller, less consistent waves and poor wind conditions. Not worth planning around.

The second week has a couple of things to keep an eye on, but it's less certain. Friday the 18th is a monster: a 16ft south swell with a 12-second period and a combined energy reading of 11,939. That's very strong. The wind is good, but the forecast says it's predicted to be too big for this break. For the experts only, and even then, it's a maybe.

Then, Saturday the 19th looks promising. A 8ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, a combined energy of 1922, and glassy conditions in the morning. That is an excellent prospect for experienced surfers, but it's a long way out.

Leggy Point is an inconsistent spot, so when it's on, it's on. But when it's not, it's a waiting game. The real standouts are Monday morning the 7th for a clean, fun session, and Tuesday the 8th for the bigger, more powerful stuff. The later dates are promising but we'll need to see how the forecast holds.

Rusty.
