Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Leggy Point over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water is sitting at 66°, which is right about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

So, the good news is there's a pulse of swell on the way, but we've got to be patient. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are flat with poor conditions, so don't even bother waxing up.

Things start to get interesting on Monday the 7th. The morning session is where it's at. We've got a clean 5 ft swell from the south with a period of 8 seconds, and it's glassy. The combined energy is moderate (425), and it's looking like the best bet for a wave. The afternoon though, the wind swings around and messes it up.

Tuesday the 8th is the real standout. The morning sees a solid 8 ft swell from the SSE, but the afternoon is the pick. The wind is light and clean, and the swell holds at 8 ft from the SSE with a nice 11-second period, bringing strong energy (1324). That's excellent surf for experienced surfers, and the best session on offer.

Wednesday the 9th is okay in the morning with a clean 5 ft, but the afternoon gets howling wind. Thursday the 10th is a big one – a 10 ft south-southeast swell in the morning, but that's just too much for this break. It's expert territory only, and even then, it's a bit of a beast.

Friday the 11th offers a more manageable 6 ft south swell in the morning with light winds and clean conditions. Saturday the 12th has a glassy 4 ft south swell in the morning, which is a nice little session. Sunday the 13th is similar with a glassy 2 ft in the morning, but it's small.

After that, we have a few days of flatness and poor conditions until Tuesday the 16th. That morning brings another huge 10 ft south swell, but again, it's too big for Leggy Point. The energy is very strong (3052), so only the most experienced should even look at it.

The final week is a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday the 17th has some clean 6 ft SSE swell, but it's not the best quality. The last real highlight is Sunday the 20th. The morning session is glassy with a 3 ft south swell, providing a clean, fun little wave to end the forecast period.

So, if you're picking one session, make it Tuesday the 8th afternoon. The consistency is a bit hit-and-miss, but when it's on, it's on. The crowds at Leggy Point can be a problem sometimes, but for that standout session, it's worth the paddle.

Rusty.
