The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a flat spell ahead for Il Sale. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent surf. From right now through to August 7th, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions with waves mostly under 3 feet and tiny combined energy readings – the highest I see is just 65 (moderate) on the afternoon of August 2nd, but even then the swell is only 2 ft from the WSW with a onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for.
The closest to a highlight would be the morning of August 2nd: 3 ft WSW swell at 6 seconds, combined energy of 43 (weak), with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. Clean, but tiny. Still, if you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your best bet. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Fact is, this reef break needs a proper SW groundswell to fire, and it just isn’t showing up. A few mornings have glassy conditions – like July 30th and August 4th, 5th, and 6th – but the swell is practically non-existent. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this kind of blank run is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

Information about the Il Sale Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Il Sale provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Il Sale can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Il Sale 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. If you surf the same spot (Il Sale) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Il Sale 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.
