Leggy Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and let me tell you, the 16-day crystal ball for Leggy Point is a real mixed bag. We’ve got some solid potential, but you're gonna have to pick your moments and be patient.

For the first week, it’s mostly on the small side with a whole lotta cross-shore chop making things look messy. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a thicker spring suit than usual.

The first standout kicks off on Thursday, August 13th, in the morning. We get a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a sweet SW offshore wind blowing. It’s a gentle breeze, but that offshore flow will have the faces looking tidy at Leggy Point. The combined energy is moderate at (275), and with a period of 7 seconds it'll be a bit on the weaker side, but the wind’ll make it fun.

Friday the 14th is promising too. The morning session is your best bet with 4ft S swell and glassy conditions – that’s 0 mph wind, total perfection for a small day. The combined energy is (273). The afternoon gets a cross breeze which will mess it up a bit, so get out early.

Saturday the 15th morning has some rain showers, but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the south, keeping it clean with 4ft from the SSE. The energy is (251). That afternoon, the wind picks up to a moderate breeze and the swell bumps to 5ft while the energy jumps to (407), but it’s still clean. That bigger size is getting into the intermediate zone, but it’s not too crazy.

Now, for a taste of something a bit more serious, look ahead to Monday, August 24th. That’s over a week away, so we can't lock it in, but the charts are showing something interesting. The morning has 5ft swell from the S with a SW offshore wind at 16 mph. The afternoon picks up to 6ft from the S with a south cross-offshore wind. The real story is the period – it jumps to 11 seconds on the afternoon, making this a proper groundswell. The combined energy is huge at (776). This one’s for the experts or at least confident intermediates; it's not a day for beginners.

The next morning, Tuesday, August 25th, cleans up nicely. The morning session has 4ft S swell with a gentle SW offshore breeze. The energy is (297). The period is still a long 11 seconds, so it will have some grunt, but the wind will make it a fantastic window.

As for the rest of the month, there are stretches where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wind stays wrong or the swell is too weak.

So, my final call for the best on offer: Friday, August 14th morning for the glassy, clean small waves. That’s a pure, unmissable session. And for a bigger, more powerful option, keep an eye on Monday, August 24th afternoon – if the forecast holds, that’ll be the one that gets the blood pumping.

Stay stoked, be patient, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
