The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got a look at what's on the table for the next stretch. Honest truth? It's gonna be a long wait. There's virtually nothing on offer for the first week and a half at Lennards Island. This classic point break setup is a tricky one – it's an advanced, inconsistent spot that really needs the right NE swell angle, and that's just not showing up. We're looking at a solid 10 to 12 days of flat, poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at 61°F with a 1°F anomaly, so about average for this time of year.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Friday, the 14th of August. On Friday morning, the ocean finally wakes up. We get a 5 ft NE swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 434 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light from the west, a cross-offshore breeze, and the report says "clean." It's the first real standout in the whole window. The break is a point, so it should handle this swell direction okay. If you're an advanced surfer, this is your window. The Friday afternoon backs off a bit to 5 ft from the NE but with a 10-second period and a cross-shore wind, making it marginal.
After that peak, it drops off quickly. The Saturday morning (15th) is glassy but tiny at 2 ft, and the following days are just small, ordinary conditions. The 16th and 17th of August offer glassy mornings but with waves around 2 ft – surfable but nothing to write home about.
So, bottom line: if you're chomping at the bit, the Friday morning of the 14th of August is your one clear shot at something decent. Everything else is a waiting game. The surf tends to be inconsistent here, so a blank run like this isn't totally out of the blue, but it's a tough one.
Rusty.

Information about the Lennards Island Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lennards Island provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lennards Island can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lennards Island 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 (Lennards Island) 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 Lennards Island 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.
