Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, it’s me, Rusty, speaking in feet and miles per hour. Let’s get after it for Leggy Point.

The pattern here is a bit all over the place – there’s good swell on the way, but the wind will decide if you get the good stuff or just a frustrating session. It starts small and messy, peaks into a couple of rippers, and then fades into a long, flat spell.

We start off Tuesday, August 25, with a weak 2-3ft easterly swell, a cross-shore breeze, and hardly any energy (103). It’s a no-go. Wednesday the 26th is still tiny, but a little 2ft swell with light offshore wind makes for clean, small waves. It’s not much, but you can see the potential.

Your window opens Thursday the 27th of August. The morning offers a solid 5ft S swell with a 9-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is ramping up (453), and the forecast is good. Friday the 28th of August is your absolute standout. The morning is pure Leggy Point magic: a clean 5ft SSE groundswell with an 11-second period and light cross-off wind. Wave energy is high at 588. This is a true highlight session. Saturday the 29th is right on its heels with a similar 5ft SSE swell, even more energy (704), and clean conditions. Those two days are the core of the run.

It settles down a bit on Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st. Monday morning is interesting – a 3ft swell but with a very long 18-second interval, a real groundswell. Light offshore wind and good energy (640) mean the reef will shape up those long-period lines nicely. The water temp is about 64°F, just a hair below average for the time of year.

After that, the whole second week goes flat. From Tuesday, September 1st through Monday, September 8th, the swell is tiny, mostly waist-high or less, with wave energy dropping to the weak zone. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or messy. It’s a dry spell.

There’s a flicker of hope right at the end. Wednesday morning, September 9th, sees a clean 2ft S swell with light, glassy conditions. It’s small, but it’s rideable. Then, Wednesday afternoon gives you a bigger, cleaner 4-5ft south swell propelled by a moderate offshore wind. That could be a fun little encore session, but it’s far out, so don’t bank on it yet.

For the one to circle on the calendar, it’s Friday the 28th of August morning. Clean, strong, and consistent. That’s the one.

Rusty.
