The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm lookin' at the Tandjung-Lefts forecast for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We've got a classic reef break that loves a good south swell, but the wind gods just aren't playing ball.
Starting off from Thursday the 23rd right through to the end of July, it’s pretty much a write-off. We're getting hammered by moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds from the SE and ESE, which is just chopping everything up. Swell's coming through from the SSW, mostly in the 2ft to 5ft range with some solid long-period energy (14 to 17 seconds), but with that wind, it's "poor surf conditions" all the way. The combined energy is building from moderate (543) up to strong (1466) towards the end of the month, but it's all messy.
We do see a bump in size on Sunday the 26th, with a short-period SE swell hitting 7ft to 8ft – that's getting into expert territory and the energy is strong (1094-1168) – but it’s raining and the wind is onshore and howling at 19-22 mph. Not one to paddle out for.
There's a bit of a gap in quality after that. We get a small glimmer on Saturday the 1st of August when the wind backs off to a gentle breeze, dropping to 9 mph from the ESE. Swell picks up to 5ft from the SSW with a fantastic 17-second period – that's proper groundswell energy (1480). The conditions are described as "marginal," and it's still a cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit choppy, but it's the best look we've got in a while. This is your best bet for a session, but keep expectations in check.
The start of the second week keeps that gentle breeze, with swell building nicely. Sunday the 2nd has consistent 6ft SSW swell and energy climbing to 1930. Monday the 3rd sees it peak at 7ft with 16-second periods and very strong energy (2194). The wind stays light and cross-onshore, so it's still not glassy, but the power is there. Tandjung-Lefts is a reef break, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely, and it handles a bit of a chop better than a beachie.
After Tuesday the 4th, it starts to drop off again, with energy fading back to moderate and the wind picking up to moderate breeze, returning to poor conditions.
If you look at the whole picture, the 2nd and 3rd of August are the standout window. You've got a powerful, long-period SSW groundswell, with the lightest winds of the whole forecast. It's still not perfect, but it's the only time when the numbers line up for a chance at some proper reef slabs. The crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so keep that in mind.
Outside of that, it's a long, frustrating run. The lack of consistent, clean offshore wind is the killer.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tandjung-Lefts 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.
