The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Same spot, different numbers.
Water temp’s about 65°F, pretty normal for the season. First few days are a bust. Thursday and Friday have tiny surf, poor wind. But Friday morning the 4th sees glassy conditions, 3ft south swell, 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 209. Clean little waves, nothing big.
Saturday and Sunday are mostly junk. Sunday morning has a gentle offshore, 3ft swell, but only 6 seconds—weak.
Now, the big one. Tuesday the 8th of September morning. Some clouds, clean offshore from the SSW at 15 mph, swell 8ft from the south, 9 seconds, combined energy a massive 2164. That’s proper power. Only for experts. The wind is offshore, the waves are solid and clean—this is the best session of the forecast.
Tuesday afternoon still has 7ft, clean.
Friday the 11th of September morning: glassy, 4ft from the SSE, 12-second period, energy 513. Long-period groundswell, clean, good for intermediates.
Second week is mostly small and poor. But Friday the 18th of September morning shows a huge 12ft south swell, energy 4060—too big for this spot, a dangerous mess.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 8th morning for the big-wave crew, Friday the 11th morning for a clean glassy session. Crowds possible, not always.
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.
