Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Leggy Point. We've got some solid action coming up, but you gotta know where to look.
First up, Monday, July 6th is a dud. You got chest-to-head high swell (8 ft), but the wind's all wrong from the SSE at 15 mph with light rain. The energy is ripping (1427), but the conditions are messy.
Tuesday, July 7th is a case of too much power. The swell builds from the SSE, hitting 10 ft in the morning and going over 11 ft in the afternoon. The energy is absolutely pumping (2179 and 2586). Wind is okay, but this is strictly for the pros who can handle a beating.
Now, Wednesday, July 8th is the one for the experienced crew. The swell drops to a solid 8 ft from the SE, but the wind goes offshore from the SSW at 12 mph in the morning. That will glass it up. Energy is still huge (1782). This is a serious, powerful wave for those who know what they're doing.
Thursday, July 9th is the most user-friendly day of the first week. The swell drops to 5 ft from the ESE, and the morning wind is a light offshore from the SW at only 6 mph. The energy is moderate (899). The afternoon goes glassy with a 6 ft SE swell. That's about as clean as it gets. Water temp is 66°, which is average for the season.
After that, the tap turns off. Friday, July 10th is still clean but the swell fades. From Saturday, July 11th right through the middle of the month, it goes flat. Swell drops to 3 ft or less, and the energy numbers fall into the low hundreds. It's gonna be a long, quiet stretch with no real surf from that Saturday through the next few days.
Thursday, July 16th afternoon shows a bump of 5 ft from the S, but the period is a weak 6 seconds - just wind slop. Friday, July 17th sees a spike of 7 ft from the S, but it's cross-onshore.
The big finish is Tuesday, July 21st. Another massive pulse from the S, with a 11 ft swell in the morning and a combined energy reading of 3706. That's a huge ocean. Afternoon swell is still 10 ft. All expert territory.
So, my advice: if you’ve got the nerve, Wednesday the 8th morning is a standout for power. For the best all-around session, target Thursday the 9th morning for clean, head-high waves. Everything else in between is either too flat, too big, or blown out.
Rusty.

Information about the Leggy Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Leggy Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Leggy Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Leggy Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Leggy Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Leggy Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
