The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you—this forecast for Tandjung-Lefts is a tough one. It’s a solid, consistent reef break that needs an offshore wind from the west to really shine, but we’re stuck with a persistent cross-onshore wind from the southeast for the entire 16-day run. That means the surf is gonna be chopped up and messy pretty much the whole time.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off on Friday the 24th of July with a weak, short-period swell from the SSW at 3 ft, but that 15 mph cross-onshore wind is killing it. The combined energy is weak (701). It’s a no-go.
Saturday the 25th sees a little more size, 4 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period (groundswell) and moderate energy (1013), but the wind is still cross-onshore and it’s raining. Still poor.
Sunday the 26th, the swell jumps to 7 ft from the SE, but the period drops to 9 seconds and the wind is up to 19 mph. That’s all over the place—lumpy and ugly. The energy is moderate (1078), but you wouldn’t want to be out there.
Monday the 27th, we’ve got 7 ft SE swell, but the period is only 8 seconds and the wind is howling at 22 mph. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The energy is moderate (735).
Tuesday the 28th, the swell drops back to 3 ft from the SSW with a decent 16-second period, but again, 19 mph cross-onshore wind ruins it. Energy is moderate (715).
This pattern just keeps repeating. Every day from the 24th of July through to the 8th of August, the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, and the surf is consistently rated as poor or marginal. The biggest swell comes in early August—on Sunday the 2nd of August we see 7 ft from the SSW with a 18-second period and strong energy (2857), and on Tuesday the 4th of August there’s 8 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period and very strong energy (3195). But the wind is still cross-onshore, so the quality is just not there.
The only time the wind shifts slightly is on Wednesday the 5th of August morning, when it goes “on” from the ESE, but it’s still 15 mph—that’s onshore, not offshore. So it’s still poor.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. The persistent cross-onshore wind is the killer. If you’re a kiter, you might have a ball, but for a surfer? I’d leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
