Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Leggy Point has in store for us.

We’re kicking off on Friday, July 31st, and it’s not quite the fireworks show we’d hope for, but there are some solid windows. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

The main event looks set for Friday morning, July 31st. We’ve got a 7ft S swell rolling in with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is SSW at 12 mph, blowing offshore, so the lineup is going to be clean. The wave energy is pumping hard at 1423, so this is serious stuff – experienced surfers only. This is a real standout session for the hard chargers. The swell direction from the south is a good match for what this place likes. It is a beach and reef setup, so with this much juice, it’s got power. Keep in mind though, the break is inconsistent, so you might wait a bit between sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Also, crowds can be a problem here sometimes, so get there early.

Friday afternoon drops off slightly to a 7ft S swell with 10-second period, still a strong 1256 energy, but the wind goes cross-off. Still rideable, but not as pristine as the morning.

Saturday, August 1st, looks better for the average punter. The morning has a 5ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is a light SW offshore at just 3 mph – glassy conditions expected. The energy is moderate at 405. A good clean option for intermediate surfers.

After Saturday, the surf drops off for most of the following week. Sunday the 2nd has moderate swell (5ft) but with a long 13-second period, which can be a bit tricky at a break like this – tends to close out. Wind is cross-onshore, so not great. The weekdays from Monday 3rd to Tuesday 11th August are a real write-off. Mostly below 3ft, weak energy in the 20-300 range, and poor conditions. There’s a tiny glimmer on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, with a glassy 4ft S swell, but it’s small.

Now, hold onto your board for Tuesday, August 11th. The morning brings back some serious size: 7ft S swell with a 9-second period and a massive energy reading of 1214. Wind is WNW at 19 mph, cross-off, so the face will be clean. This is another big one for the experienced crew. It’s a similar story to the first Friday – big, clean, but inconsistent, and over 8ft it’s only for experts. This one is just under that line, but it’s still heavy.

After that, the final week tails off into smaller, cleaner but weaker surf. Thursday afternoon, August 13th, has a clean 3ft S swell with light winds, and Saturday morning, August 15th, has a clean 3ft SSE swell with offshore SW wind at 16 mph, but it’s all quite small.

If you’re after the real juice, your best bets are Friday morning, July 31st, and Tuesday morning, August 11th. Get on it if you’re an experienced local.

Rusty.
