The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. Let’s look at what’s coming down the line at Point Leo. This reef break is fairly consistent and loves a good SW swell.
We’ve got waves starting this Sunday morning the 30th with a 6ft SW swell and energy already pumping at 1217. Water temp is about 56°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing major, just a nice little bump.
Sunday morning is cloudy with a cross-off breeze—rideable. Sunday afternoon the swell goes to 6ft and the wind goes cross-shore, energy at 1346. It’s okay, but Monday the 31st is the real deal. Monday morning you’ve got 7ft of SW swell with a 14-second period and a light cross-off wind—clean, energy hits 1828. Then Monday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, swell holds at 7ft, and energy peaks at 1982. That’s the standout session for the experienced crew.
Tuesday the 1st of September is blown out with a strong NNW wind. Skip it. Wednesday the 2nd the swell builds to 7ft with offshore NW wind and energy readings of 2099 and 2284—clean and powerful.
Thursday the 3rd gets big and ugly with 10ft to 12ft swell and cross-shore wind, better for kites. Friday the 4th is similar—10ft swell, clean but huge. Saturday the 5th is a loss with gale-force wind.
Sunday the 6th brings a 8ft SW swell with offshore NW wind, clean and glassy, energy at 2138—another good one. The second week has some windows: Thursday the 10th with a 7ft swell and offshore wind, and Saturday the 12th with a 7ft swell and light offshore—but confidence is lower that far out.
Gaps are just the stormy days in between. The biggest standout is Monday the 31st into Tuesday the 1st of September if the wind stays clean. Big, lined-up, and pumping at Point Leo.
Rusty.

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