G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Iluka-North Wall (Iluka-North Wall) is serving up over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it’s pretty quiet. The waves are small and the wind is all over the shop, so don’t stress if you’re staying off the board Sunday and Monday. The water temp is 70°, right on the money for this time of year – nothin’ wild.
The first real chance comes on Tuesday, July 7th morning. You’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off. The combined energy is cranking at 1914 (moderate). That’s a big one though – expert-only at that size. For the brave, it’s on.
Through Wednesday and Thursday the swell sits around 8ft to 10ft from the SE, period 10-11 seconds. Energy stays strong (over 1000), but the wind is mostly cross or cross-shore with a lumpy chop. It’s surfable but not glassy. Friday, July 10th morning looks better – 6ft from the SE, 10-second period, clean cross-off wind. That’s a more manageable size with clean conditions.
The standout of the first week is Saturday, July 11th morning. Only 5ft from the SE, 10-second period, but the wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and fun. Combined energy is 426 (moderate). For a break this consistent and exposed, that’s a bloody good session.
After a few days of tiny weak swell (0.7ft to 4ft) with offshore winds but barely any energy, there’s a bit of a lull. Then Wednesday, July 15th morning brings it back – 6ft from the SSE, 8-second period, offshore wind, clean. Energy is 538 (moderate). That’s a fun little window.
Now, Thursday, July 16th morning is the big one. A solid 13ft from the SSE, 10-second period, with a clean cross-off wind from the SSW. The energy is massive at 2712 (strong). This is expert territory – big, powerful, and clean. If you’ve got the nerve, this is it.
Friday and Saturday (July 17th-18th) go absolutely nuts. Swells hit 20ft and 15ft with very long periods up to 14 seconds. Energy readings are insane (17952 and 12778) – that’s extreme. The wind is okay, but the size is way too big for this spot. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
Then it drops back down for the final days. Sunday, July 19th morning is a nice finish – 7ft from the SE, 11-second period, clean cross-off wind. Energy is 965 (moderate). That’s a classic, solid winter day.
Overall, the absolute best on offer is Saturday, July 11th morning for the clean offshore conditions and fun size, and Thursday, July 16th morning for the big, powerful, expert-only stuff.
Rusty.
