Right. Mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Leggy Point for the next couple of weeks.
The good news is we’ve got some solid swell arriving right out of the gate, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag after that. The first few days are the real deal, then it all goes quiet for a long stretch before a possible return towards the end.
Wednesday 8th July kicks things off with a chunky 8 ft swell running out of the SE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell with some serious energy (1786). It’s a bit on the big side for anyone but competent surfers, but the wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, so the lineup should be clean. Expect some solid, powerful lines. The water feels about average for the time of year.
Thursday 9th July still has plenty of size, dropping to 6 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon. Still from the SE, with periods around 10 seconds. The wind is lighter, a cross-off at 6–9 mph, so the surf will be really clean. The energy is still strong (775 and 620). This is a top pick for the window.
Friday 10th July is the standout. The swell eases slightly to 5 ft to 5 ft, but the wind swings to a light offshore from the SW at 9 mph in the morning. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The swell direction is right on the money from the SE, which is the optimum for Leggy Point. The energy is moderate (481 and 458). This is the best session on offer – get out there.
Now, from Saturday 11th July onwards, it all drops right off. The swell collapses to under 3 ft, and the wind turns messy or cross-shore. There’s a long, dry spell here. You’re looking at a solid gap of almost a week of flat to tiny, poor surf with no real recommendations.
Thursday 16th July sees a pulse of 6 ft to 7 ft swell from the S, but the wind is howling from the SE at 22–25 mph. That’s lumpy, choppy, and not worth your time. Friday 17th July is similar, with 6 ft but strong cross-off wind and a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (917) but the quality is poor. After that, it’s back to tiny, wind-affected waves right through to the end of the period.
So, in short: get it while you can on Thursday and Friday this week. That’s it.
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.
