Point Leo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next stretch of surf for Point Leo. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, but this outlook’s a bit of a mixed bag—there’s some proper size coming, but the wind’s going to mess with a few of those days. The water’s sitting at 57° right now, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

The first real window opens up on Saturday the 12th. Friday afternoon’s looking marginal, but the weekend starts clean. Saturday morning you’ve got a 7ft SW swell ticking in at 16 seconds, cross-off light breeze, proper clean lines. The afternoon goes even better—glass, dead calm, 7ft SW at 15 seconds, and the energy’s still solid. That’s your first standout, no doubt. Sunday drops a bit in size but still fun, until the wind kicks up and makes it messy by the afternoon.

Monday the 14th is small, around 3ft, and mostly clean early but the wind swings cross-shore and kills it by the arvo. Then Tuesday the 15th is the one where it gets serious—Tuesday morning the swell jumps to 8ft, but the wind is 22 mph cross-off, and then the afternoon brings rain and 25 mph cross-shore with 12ft of swell. That’s not surfable, that’s just chaos. Wednesday the 16th is all cross-onshore and choppy with 10ft—unless you’re into paddle battles, give it a miss.

Thursday the 17th could be a sneaky one. The morning’s 7ft with a clean cross-off, but the afternoon looks better—6ft, light cross-off, and the call is for very good surf. That’s a solid pick. Friday the 18th brings fresh offshore winds, 7ft SW at 16 seconds, plenty of push but the winds are a bit strong. It’s still clean, but not glassy.

The following week is where it gets interesting. Sunday the 21st has a juicy 8ft SW at 16 seconds in the afternoon, with a light cross-off wind—that’s excellent for experienced surfers, another standout for sure. Then Monday the 22nd goes big again, 12ft, but the wind is fresh cross-off in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon. That’s expert-only territory. Wednesday the 23rd is blown out, and Thursday the 24th is a smaller, cleaner day around 5ft with offshore winds.

The end of the run settles into a more relaxed rhythm. Saturday the 26th has 5ft SW at 15 seconds, light offshore in the morning—clean and fun, a good way to close it out if you missed the bigger stuff.

So, the pick of the lot is Saturday the 12th for the glassy afternoon session, and Sunday the 21st for the bigger, cleaner swell. Everything else, you’re working around the wind. Point Leo’s a reef, so those longer period swells should shape up nicely—just be mindful of the bigger days, they’re not for the faint-hearted.

Stay salty,

Rusty
