The Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what The Left has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a real mixed bag.

We're starting off with some potential, but there are plenty of flat spells to work around. The water temp is sitting right on the seasonal average at 54°F, so nothing weird going on there.

The first real fun looking window kicks off on Tuesday, July 7th. The Left is seeing some waist to chest high swell, around 3ft, filtering in from the West with a solid 9-second period. The big story here is the wind: Tuesday morning it's dead calm, glassy as a mirror. Tuesday afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is the kind of clean, peeling point break action you wish for. The combined energy is moderate (232 to 213), but with those conditions, it’s going to feel better than the numbers say. There will be waves, and they will be clean.

Wednesday the 8th gets a little more size, pushing 4ft, but the wind swings onshore and it gets messy. We'll call that a write-off.

Thursday the 9th is another solid shout. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the West, and Thursday afternoon we get glassy conditions again. The energy jumps to a solid 353, meaning there's some push behind those waves. That'll be a fun, punchy session if you can get out there.

After that, it gets pretty slim. Friday the 10th morning drops right off to 2ft, though it's glassy again – a morning cruise on the log if you're desperate. But for a proper surf, we're looking at a big gap. Saturday the 11th through Monday the 13th is pretty much flat or junky.

The next glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, July 14th. We get a morning glass-off again, with a 4ft West swell and a 10-second period. The energy is back up to a moderate 242. That Tuesday morning session is your next best bet after this first week, but it’s a long way off and that far out, you just gotta keep your fingers crossed.

The rest of the second week drops off into tiny, weak surf. Not much to get excited about. The Left is a point break that needs a solid West swell to really work, and after the 14th, it just doesn't have the juice. There are some mornings with clean conditions on tiny 1ft to 2ft waves, but that's a flat day paddle at best.

Overall, you've got two clear standout windows: the morning sessions on Tuesday the 7th and Thursday the 9th of July, with the Tuesday afternoon also looking prime. After that, keep an eye on the forecast for Tuesday the 14th, but be ready for a lot of flat days in between.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
