Point Leo - surf spot statistics

Point Leo in Australia is a consistent surf spot with year-round ground swell dominance, making it a reliable option for surfers. The best conditions typically occur from April to September when ground swell percentages are highest (84-88%) and mean swell size ranges from 1.1-1.3m, providing solid waves. Wind conditions improve slightly during these months, with good offshore winds peaking at around 29% in May, though onshore winds still prevail. The autumn and winter months (May-August) offer the most favorable balance of swell energy and cleaner wind windows, with July and August seeing the largest swells (1.2-1.3m). Summer months (December-February) have smaller swells (1.0m) and poor wind conditions (only 15% favorable), making them less ideal. Spring (October-November) and early autumn (March-April) serve as transitional periods with decent swell but still challenging winds. Overall, surfers will find the most consistent and higher-quality waves from late autumn through winter, with May to August standing out as the prime window for good swell size and slightly better wind chances.

In July, Point Leo offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.2m and a solid period of 13.2s, indicating well-organized, powerful waves. The predominant swell direction is from the southwest, with the highest frequency (29.67%) in the 1-1.5m range and a notable presence of waves up to 2.5m (4.21% SW). This suggests reliable, punchy swells ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Winds are less favorable, with only 27% being ideal for surfing—typically lighter offshore winds from the northeast are scarce, while stronger onshore westerlies (W, WSW, NW) dominate, increasing choppiness. The best sessions will occur when winds shift northeast or ease, allowing clean faces on the southwest swells. Expect smaller, less consistent conditions when swells come from the south or east. Overall, July delivers decent surf but requires patience for optimal wind windows.
