Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, the beginning of the period is a write-off. Sunday the 6th is flat and sloppy with a weak 1ft south swell and onshore wind – not worth paddling for. We’re looking at a couple of days before anything starts to shape up.

The real action kicks off early Monday the 7th morning at Leggy Point. We’ve got a clean 5ft south swell running with glassy conditions – no wind at all. The wave energy is moderate at 274, but that clean surface makes it super inviting. It’s a beach and reef setup, inconsistent though, so don’t expect constant waves, but when they come they’ll be smooth. The water temp is about 66°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on.

Monday afternoon gets a bit choppy with an east cross-on breeze, so the window is really that morning session.

Now, Tuesday the 8th morning is the standout of the whole outlook. Leggy Point sees a solid 10ft south-southeast swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is huge at 1408 – that’s strong, powerful surf. Wind is cross-off and clean. This is big, expert-only territory. If you’re not solid, stay on the beach. It’s also inconsistent, so the sets will have gaps, but when one lines up, it’s going to be thumping. Afternoon eases to 8ft, still good but less intense.

Wednesday the 9th morning stays clean with a 5ft south-southeast swell and light offshore wind. Nice, manageable size for intermediates. The afternoon gets hammered by 25 mph south winds so that’s a no-go.

Thursday the 10th has size again: 8ft south swell both morning and afternoon with a 10-second period and clean conditions. Combined energy is over 1400 again, so there’s a lot of power. But the forecast flags questionable tide conditions, so you’ll need to pick your moment. This is still solid for strong surfers.

Friday the 11th morning looks excellent: 6ft south-southeast swell, 11-second period, and super light WNW wind. That’s groundswell energy, long and clean. The 855 energy reading confirms it’s got push. This long-period swell will wrap nicely into the point at Leggy Point. Afternoon goes cross-shore and messy.

Saturday the 12th morning is another good one: 7ft south swell, 10-second period, light south breeze, clean. Combined energy 896 – strong and lined up. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy.

From Sunday the 13th onward, the quality drops. The swell stays around 3ft to 5ft but winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and periods go long (11-12 seconds) which at a beach-and-reef break can be a bit straight. There are a couple of marginal windows, like Tuesday the 15th afternoon with 7ft south-southeast swell but cross-shore wind, and Friday the 18th morning has a tiny 3ft glassy south swell but it’s weak – surfable but nothing to get excited about.

The last week sees mostly small, weak swell and poor wind. Nothing worth planning a trip around.

Best on offer: Tuesday morning the 8th for the big, powerful stuff (experts only) and Friday morning the 11th for the clean, long-period groundswell at a more manageable size.
