Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Leggy Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit patchy to start, but there are some real gems if you’re willing to wait for the right moment.
Monday the 6th of July is a total washout – 8ft SSE swell with a stiff cross-off breeze, and the conditions are just ugly. Tuesday the 7th brings a bigger 12ft SSE swell (combined energy of 4716) but it’s just too much for this break, only for the hardcore experts.
Wednesday the 8th is still marginal with 8ft SE swell and messy cross-off winds. Nothing worth rushing for. But then Thursday morning the 9th of July turns it all around. Glassy conditions with a clean 7ft SE swell and combined energy of 881 – that’s going to be smooth, lined up, and a proper morning session.
Friday the 10th keeps the energy going with a morning offshore breeze and 6ft SE swell (506 combined energy). Clean, workable waves. Afternoon stays clean but smaller. That Thursday morning and Friday morning are your top picks in the first week.
Then the surf dies hard. Saturday the 11th has weak 4ft swell and cross-shore winds, and by Sunday the 12th it’s down to 3ft with chop. From the 13th to the 14th of July there’s a real flat spell – combined energy as low as 10 on Monday. Almost two days of nada.
But hang in there. Wednesday the 15th of July brings a return. Morning delivers a clean 7ft S swell with gentle offshore wind and combined energy of 1016. This one’s for experienced surfers – solid, clean, and powerful. That Wednesday morning is a standout. Thursday the 16th gets bigger with 10ft S swell but that’s too much for most. By Friday the 17th, it settles to 7ft SSE swell with clean offshore winds (874 combined energy) – another fantastic session.
Saturday the 18th morning still offers a fun 6ft SE swell with light winds, but after that, the second weekend fades into small and messy conditions through the 19th, 20th, and into the 21st. That Wednesday the 15th and Friday the 17th are your real standouts in the long-range – promising but keep an eye on it.
Leggy Point is an inconsistent spot, so these windows are precious. When it turns on, it’s worth it.

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.
