Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this sorted. The forecast period opens with a bit of a wait—nothing worth paddling out for until Sunday morning, July 26th. After that, there’s a long stretch of small, weak, or messy conditions, so we’ll be looking at a few clean windows that stand out.

Leggy Point (beach and reef) is the only spot on the cards. It’s an inconsistent setup, so when it does fire, you’ve got to be on it. The water’s sitting at 65°F, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing weird there.

Sunday morning, July 26th is the first real call. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell from the south, with a nice 11-second period. The wind is a light 3 mph cross-offshore from the west, so surfaces will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (780). It’s not giant, but it’s a solid, surfable start. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Thursday morning, July 30th is the next standout. Swell jumps to 7 ft from the south, still with a decent 9-second period and light offshore wind from the southwest at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (707), and it’s clean. This is a good one for intermediate surfers. The afternoon builds to 8 ft, but the wind swings south and picks up to 12 mph—still cross-off, but with higher energy (3318) it’s getting powerful. Tides could be a factor.

Friday morning, July 31st is the best of the first week. 8 ft from the south, 10-second period, clean offshore wind from the southwest at 9 mph. The energy is strong (2492). This is excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s pushing into the “experts only” zone on size. The afternoon gets a bit windier, but still clean.

Saturday, August 1st holds solid with 6 ft from the SSE, 10-second period, and gentle offshore winds in the morning. Energy is moderate (817-889). Good all-round conditions.

Thursday, August 6th is a late call. The morning brings a 7 ft swell from the south, but with a short 8-second period, so it’ll be a bit weaker in shape. The wind is cross-off from the west at 6 mph, and the energy is strong (1013). This is another one for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops off in quality.

Monday, August 10th is a big one, but it’s a warning. 12 ft from the southeast, 10-second period, with a light cross-shore wind. The energy is very strong (2940). This is predicted to be too big for Leggy Point—wind and tide might be favorable, but the swell is just too much. This is strictly for experts, and even then, it’s a risk. The afternoon blows up to 13 ft with onshore winds, so that’s a no-go.

Overall, the best windows are Friday morning, July 31st and Thursday morning, August 6th. The first week has the cleaner, more reliable conditions. The second week sees a big spike in size, but with shorter period and more wind, so pick your sessions carefully.
