Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a slow start, no doubt about it. We’re looking at a decent stretch of flat, small, and messy conditions before things finally wake up. But when they do, there’s a proper window of fun on the cards. Patience is the key.

The first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves. From Monday the 3rd through to Tuesday the 11th, it’s mostly small, weak, and all over the place. Sizes are hovering around the 1ft to 3ft mark, with periods that are either too short or just inconsistent. The combined energy is weak too, mostly under 100 (between 26 and 101). We see a tiny bump on the morning of Friday the 7th with a 3ft S swell, but the conditions are hardly inspiring. The glassy morning on Saturday the 8th will be pretty to look at, but there just isn’t any push to it. A couple of mornings around the 12th and 13th have a bit more size, but the wind is up and the quality is poor. Honestly, for the first ten days or so, you’re better off doing something else. There’s a long gap of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for from the 3rd until the 13th.

Then things start to get interesting. The afternoon of Thursday the 13th sees a bump in size to a 5.6ft SSW swell, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 589. It’s still a bit raw and the wind is fresh, but the push is finally there. This is the start of the change.

The standout window kicks off on Friday the 14th. The morning brings a clean 3.3ft S swell at 12 seconds, and the offshore wind is light. It’s building. But the real gem is the Friday afternoon session. We’re looking at a solid 8.2ft S swell, with a period of 11 seconds and a beefy combined energy of 2158. The wind is only light and it’s clean. This is proper surf, but at that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. It’ll be charging at Leggy Point (beach and reef setup), and the S direction is right in its wheelhouse.

Saturday the 15th keeps the energy going. The morning is still very good, with a 5.9ft SSE swell at 11 seconds and light offshore winds, energy at 772. It’s a bit smaller than Friday’s peak but still a great session. By the afternoon it drops off slightly in quality as the wind turns cross-shore.

Sunday the 16th offers one last hurrah with the morning glassy conditions and a clean 4.3ft SSE swell. It’s a good, fun size for most surfers. After that, things ease off again. Monday the 17th has some clean morning waves with a 4.6ft SSE swell, but the energy is dropping. By Tuesday the 18th, we’re back to small and weaker conditions.

So, to sum it up: be patient through the first week and a half. The standout is definitely the Friday afternoon session on the 14th—that’s the one you want to clear your schedule for. The Saturday morning on the 15th is a great backup. Everything else is just filling the gaps. The water temp is sitting at 64.2°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit is still on.

Stay stoked.
