Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local skinny for this stretch. Let's talk about Leggy Point (beach and reef). We've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, so we'll pick the eyes out of it.

The water's sitting at about 64°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothin' weird going on there.

The first real sniff of action comes on Sunday morning, July 26th. We'll see a 6 ft south groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds tickin' over. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the west, which should keep things pretty clean. The combined energy is sittin' at 710 (moderate). It's the best call for the early part of the run.

Then we hit a real long flat spell. After Monday, July 27th, the waves just taper off to nuthin'. From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to the morning of Monday, August 3rd, there's barely a ripple to speak of – just tiny, weak junk in the ankle-snapper range.

That brings us to the stand-out of the whole forecast. Monday morning, August 3rd, the swell jumps back to life with a 7 ft south-southeast windswell (7 second period), and the wind is a light cross-off from the west-northwest. The combined energy reads a solid 632 (moderate). It's a bit of a long wait, so keep that in mind. 7 ft is getting up there for the learners, so it might be a bit of a handful for the beginners.

The rest of the first week of August rolls through with some ok options. Tuesday morning, August 4th, has a clean 6 ft east-southeast swell and Wednesday morning, August 5th, has a real tidy 6 ft southeast swell with glassy offshores. Both of those mornings look like they'd be worth a paddle.

One last thing to keep an eye on: the morning of Saturday, August 8th, looks like it might come good. The swell will be tiny at 3 ft, but it's from the east-southeast with a long 11-second period, and the wind is completely glassy. That'd be a longboard special if the timing lines up, but it's a way off, so don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
