Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Leggy Point.

The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag. We've got some proper swells on the way, but the timing isn't always perfect with the wind, and this spot can be *inconsistent*, so you gotta pick your windows. Things start off alright, then get a bit messy in the middle, but there are a couple of sessions that should be absolute crackers if you time it right.

We've got a decent pulse arriving on Friday the 11th. Friday morning is looking like a good shout. The swell is a clean 6ft from the SSE with clean lines from a SSW offshore breeze – a gentle 9 mph. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. The swell energy is moderate (576), so there's plenty of push. Friday afternoon stays clean as well, with the swell dialing back just a touch to 5ft and the wind clocking around to a cross-off from the SSE. This is a solid start.

Saturday the 12th is a two-faced day. The morning kicks off with clean conditions, a cross-off breeze, and a small 2ft swell from the SSE. That small swell is riding on a very long-period groundswell (19 seconds), which means it’ll have surprising power and shape for a point setup like this. It won’t be big, but it’ll be fun and clean. Saturday afternoon is a write-off though – a fresh onshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph will chop things up fast. After that, we hit a real flat, poor spell. From Sunday the 13th right through to Tuesday the 15th, conditions are poor, with tiny, junky waves. There's not much to get excited about there – a few days to rest up.

Now, mark your calendars for Wednesday the 16th. This is the standout of the whole outlook, but it’s not for everyone. A big S swell is due to roll in, hitting a solid 12ft on Wednesday morning and pumping up to 13ft by the afternoon. The energy is very strong (1830 and 2806). The wind is a strong offshore from the SSW at 28 mph, so the faces will be clean, but paddling out will be a battle. This is big, powerful surf – over 8ft, so really for experts only. It might even be too big for this break, so only the most experienced chargers should be looking at it. Thursday the 17th still has a big, solid 8ft swell from the SSE with a fresh offshore, so the quality will be there, but it remains a challenging, expert-only affair.

After that big swell drops, we get another glassy moment on Friday the 18th. Friday morning is magic – glassy conditions, zero wind, and a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE. That tiny swell is again on that very long 19-second period, which is a treat for a point break. It’ll be clean and peel, but small. From there, the second week is pretty quiet. We see a pulse of energy trying to build again around Wednesday the 23rd, with a 10ft S swell forecast for the morning. The wind looks light and onshore, which isn't ideal, and the size again pushes it into that too-big-for-comfort category for many. By Thursday the 24th, it settles down to a clean, surfable 6ft from the SSE, which is a nice way to end the outlook.

So the best of it? Friday the 11th morning for clean, solid waves for intermediates. And for the big dogs, Wednesday the 16th is the date – epic, giant, clean waves, but for experts only.

Rusty.
