The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's break down the Iluka-North Wall (breakwater) forecast. Right now, Tuesday morning has small clean waves with a light offshore, and the water is 68°, right on average for this time.
The first real highlight is Wednesday the 12th. Early morning you'll find glassy conditions with a light WNW offshore (3 mph) and a clean 3ft swell from the SSE, period 10 seconds, with moderate wave energy (259). That offshore breeze will keep it tidy. This is the standout of the first week.
Surf stays small through Thursday and Friday, getting choppy in the afternoons. By Friday the 14th morning we see 5ft SSE swell (417 energy) with a cross-off breeze. Surfable but nothing special.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are a mess – strong S to SSE winds blowing 16-19 mph, lumpy cross-shore chop, and swell around 6-8ft with short 6-7 second periods. Leave the board at home. Conditions stay rough through Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th as a solid ESE swell builds to 8ft with strong cross-onshore winds. That's big, bumpy, and miserable – better suited for kiting.
Friday the 21st morning offers a chance: 5ft E swell (446 energy) with a clean cross-off breeze. Then the best call of the whole outlook shapes up for Saturday the 22nd morning. Light offshore wind from the W (6 mph), 5ft E swell with a 10-second period (449 energy), and clean conditions. That's the true standout for the second week, but it's a ways off so stay tuned.
Sunday the 23rd morning also has clean 5ft E swell (422) with a light cross-off breeze. After that, the swell fades through to Wednesday the 26th, dropping below 3ft and mostly messy or small for the rest of it.
Rusty.
