The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down the outlook for Leggy Point.
We’ve got a slow start, so don’t be in a hurry. The first real window doesn’t open until the morning of the 8th. That’s a few days of nothing worth chasing.
The best bet is clearly the window from Thursday the 10th into Friday the 11th. Thursday afternoon is the crown jewel. You’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the south with a 11-second period, a proper groundswell packing moderate energy (565). A gentle cross-offshore breeze will keep the faces clean. The morning of the 10th is bigger at 7ft from the SSE, but the period is short at 7 seconds, making it messy. Friday morning is still very good, with 4ft from the south, 10 seconds, and light winds.
Before that, Monday the 7th afternoon shows a little life with 4ft from the south (9 seconds) and clean conditions. The 8th has a 6ft push in the morning (SSE, 8 seconds) with a fresh offshore, but the short period takes the shine off. The afternoon of the 8th is cleaner at 5ft.
After the 11th, it fades fast. From the 12th onward, the swell drops and the wind turns ugly. The 17th brings a little 3ft, 10-second south swell, but it’s nothing special.
Watch out, beginners: when it hits over 5ft, like on the morning of the 10th (7ft), it’s for experts only. For the rest of us, the late 10th and the 11th are the sessions to mark on the calendar.
This is Rusty, signing off. Stay stoked.

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.
