The Lowdown

Alright, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it for ya. This stretch from now through the 20th of September is a tough one for Tandjung-Lefts. We got three-to-six-foot of south-southwest groundswell on the cards for most of the period, and that’s a consistent signal for a reef that knows how to handle it. But the rub is, the wind just won’t play ball for clean surfing.

We start from the 5th and 6th with clear skies but a cross-on breeze around 9 to 12 mph, gusting up. The swell is sitting around 6 ft to 7 ft out of the SSW with a thumping 16-second period, and you can feel the energy – combined swell energy is reading 1687 on the Saturday morning, which is strong. But the cross-onshore wind just has that surface ragged. It’s not junk, but it ain’t glass. The water temp is a balmy 80°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – no anomaly worth mentioning.

Things get a bit better around the 8th and 9th. The wind swings more cross than cross-on, still 9 mph but now with only a slight cross-chop. Swell holds strong: Tuesday morning the 8th has 5 ft SSW swell but with a very long 19-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a meaty 2566. That’s a serious groundswell pulse. This reef will love that long-period energy – waves will have real shape and power, but the longer gap between sets will mean a bit of a paddle. With the wind lighter and more side-on, the morning of the 8th is the standout of the whole outlook.

Wednesday the 9th morning has a solid 8 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period – that’s starting to push into expert-only territory. Combined energy hits 2903. It’s big and powerful, but again the wind is cross, not offshore. If you’ve got the skills, there’ll be some deep ones.

From the 10th onward it’s more of the same – plenty of swell but the wind stays cross-on or just cross, with the lightest days still showing some surface texture. There’s a big drop in quality around the 14th and 15th, where the forecast flags poor conditions – that’s three days where it’s probably not worth paddling out. The swell is still there but the wind is up to 16 mph and choppy.

The 16th afternoon looks okay with 7 ft SSW at 17 seconds and gentle cross-on breeze, but it’s a tease. The last few days from the 19th into the 20th show a slight easing and the wind remains stubbornly cross-on. The 20th morning has an onshore wind but still a 5 ft SSW swell.

Overall, if you’re chasing a window, Tuesday the 8th morning is your best bet. That cross-shore wind and very long period groundswell will make for some proper, powerful lefts. The other days are rideable but not special.

Stay keen, but don’t expect perfection.

A general guide to surfing at Tandjung-Lefts can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tandjung-Lefts 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.

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 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. 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.
