The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the look at Iluka-North Wall. It’s a breakwater wave, good for beginners, and the water’s about 68°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The first few days are real quiet. Wednesday morning, the 5th, you’ve got a 3ft swell from the east, 10-second period, with a light offshore breeze. It’s clean, but the energy is weak at 127. It’s surfable, but barely.
Thursday and Friday are even smaller, with waves around 1ft to 2ft. There’s a clean window Friday morning with a 2ft south-southeast swell, but it’s still weak.
Saturday the 8th morning shows a slight bump to 2ft from the east-northeast, clean, but again, not much power.
Sunday the 9th morning is the first real standout. 4ft of east swell, 9-second period, light north wind just off the shore. The energy is 216 now, moderate. Clean conditions and the right direction. This is a go.
Monday the 10th morning is also good. Offshore wind from the west at 9 mph, clean, 3ft of east-northeast swell. The energy is 247, solid.
The middle of the week stays small, with 3ft waves and clean conditions.
Then Thursday the 13th morning, the ocean goes off. 8ft of south-southeast swell, 10-second period, energy is a massive 1325. This is strong. The wind is cross-off, but at 8ft, this is for experts only. Big, powerful, and raw.
Friday the 14th stays big, 7ft, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the wind is side-shore. Energy is 565, but the quality suffers.
The rest of the second week is messy. Saturday the 15th has rain and 7ft swell, but side-shore wind. Sunday the 16th has 5ft from the east-southeast with an 11-second period, but the wind is side-shore, energy 794.
The best bet in the second week is Tuesday the 18th. 6ft from the south-southeast, 10-second period, light cross-off wind. The energy is 717, and it’s clean. That’s a very good session.
So, for the best clean waves, hit Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th. For the big, powerful stuff, Thursday the 13th is the one for the experienced crew.
Rusty out.
