Lefts

Lefts is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia, known for its powerful left-hand waves. The spot is situated on the right of the rock formation at Forries Beach, visible from the lookout. The wave at Lefts is thick and more powerful than other waves of the same height, making it a challenging spot for surfers. It is particularly favored by goofy footers due to the left-breaking waves. The surf spot features a coral reef bottom and can be surfed at all tides. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, offering a quality world-class surfing experience. The spot is best suited for intermediate surfers due to its challenging conditions, including rips, undertow, and the presence of rocks. Localism can be an issue, so it’s important to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette, especially in crowded conditions. Sharks have been noted in the area, so surfers should remain vigilant. For those looking to save time, it’s possible to jump off the rocks at Banzai and paddle across the channel instead of paddling out from the beach, though it only saves about five minutes. Nearby surf spots include Rights, Banzai, Suck Up, Winston Street, and Spoon Bay. Surfers should check their skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match their surfing level. Always check the surf forecast, report, map, and webcam before heading out to get the best surfing experience. Respect the locals.
