Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for the Leggy Point area. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way, so let's get into it.

First up, the water temp is sitting at about 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The week starts off a bit slow. We've got some small, weak swell around on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, but the wind is messy or just too light to get anything decent going. Honestly, it's not worth paddling out for; the energy is weak (105) and the waves are just too small and choppy.

Monday the 7th morning is where things start to look a bit more promising. We’ve got a clean 1.7m swell from the SW with a light offshore wind. It’s not huge, but the conditions will be clean and the energy is starting to build (465). That's a good sign. But the afternoon gets ruined by a cross-onshore breeze, so get your session in early.

Tuesday the 8th brings a bigger bump. We’re looking at a 2.5m swell from the SSE in the morning, but that’s getting into the "too big for beginners" territory. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the energy is getting strong (1103). This is one for the experienced crew only.

Now, the real standout. Thursday the 10th is cookin’. We’ve got a solid 3.0m swell from the south with a consistent 10-second period. The wind is cross-off and clean, and the energy is very strong (2987). This is a big, powerful swell, and with those conditions, it’s going to be pumping. But fair warning, this size is for experts only. If you're not comfortable in big, powerful surf, give this one a miss. This is the prime window for the whole forecast.

After that, Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th settle down a bit with 1.5m to 1.9m swell and clean, light offshore winds. The energy is still good (849 and 609), and it’ll be perfect for intermediate surfers looking for a cleaner, more manageable wave.

Then we hit a lull. From Sunday the 13th through to Tuesday the 15th, the swell drops right off, and the wind turns ugly. The energy drops to near nothing (85), so don’t bother. It's a dead period.

We get a pulse back around Wednesday the 16th September, with a 2.5m to 3.0m swell from the south. The energy is back up (1962), but the wind is messy in the morning. The afternoon looks cleaner, but it’s another one for the experts. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th see the swell holding big (3.5m) with a very long period (13-14 seconds). The energy is massive (4577). This kind of long-period groundswell will be breaking a bit straight at a beach setup like this, but the conditions are clean with offshore winds. Again, for experts only.

The very end of the forecast, Sunday the 20th September, shows a 2.5m swell from the SSE with light winds and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Best bet: If you’re an experienced surfer, Thursday the 10th is your day. It’s the best combo of size, power, and clean conditions in the whole outlook. For everyone else, aim for Monday morning the 7th or Friday the 11th for some clean, manageable waves.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
