The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming for Iluka-North Wall over the next couple of weeks.
Don’t get too keen until the morning of Wednesday 22 July – nothing’s worth it before that. The real standout, the one to wake up for, is the morning of Saturday 25 July. We’ve got a 4ft SSE groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the WNW. That’s clean, lined-up waves with a combined energy of 1018 (moderate wave energy). This is excellent for experienced surfers; the long period will give proper shape and power. It’s a breakwater/reef, so it’ll handle that long period well. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect it empty.
Before that, Wednesday 22 July morning has clean 4.6ft E swell with 9-second period and light offshore wind, but it’s small and average (combined energy 367). Thursday 23 July morning is even smaller at 3.6ft, clean but weak. After Saturday, Sunday 26 July morning offers clean 3ft SSE swell with a 14-second period and light offshore, combined energy 340 – small but clean. The morning of Thursday 30 July bumps up to 4.3ft SSE swell with 9-second period and clean offshore, combined energy 384, but still nothing to rave about.
Looking out to the morning of Sunday 2 August, there’s a 3ft SSE swell with a very long 16-second period and light offshore, combined energy 530 – that’s got real promise, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep it on the radar. Water temp is 68°F, about average for the time of year, just a touch cooler than normal.
The long dry spell from now until Wednesday 22 July is a bit of a drag, but forecasts can turn. After that, mornings are your friend – afternoons get onshore. The big 10ft swell on 4 August is too big for most and will be choppy, so that’s for experts only.
Best bet: Saturday 25 July morning. Clean, offshore, proper groundswell with good energy. Get in the water.
