Table - best surf conditions forecast for Iluka-North Wall over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the cards for Iluka-North Wall over the next 16 days.
Right now, the surf is pretty much flat until Wednesday the 15th. There’s a tiny bump on Sunday morning the 12th – about 4ft from the SE – but it’s not really worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything decent comes on the morning of Tuesday the 21st. That’s a full week away. We’ve got a clean 7ft swell rolling in from the ESE, period of 11 seconds, and light offshore wind from the W. The wave energy is moderate (1010), and it’s gonna be glassy. This one’s the standout of the whole outlook – clean, solid, and for experienced surfers only. The cross-offshore wind on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd keeps things tidy, with 5ft from the E at 12 seconds, but the swell energy is a bit lower (1361). Still, that’s a good morning session.
Heading into the weekend of the 25th and 26th, we’ve got more clean conditions. Saturday morning the 25th has 5ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and energy up around 999. Sunday morning the 26th is also clean with offshore breeze, 5ft from the SE, 11-second period, and energy at 557. Both are solid, but the Tuesday is the pick.
After that, it fades. Monday the 27th morning has a tiny 3ft from the ESE, clean but weak, and then it’s pretty much done.
The big news is the mid-week storm swell from the 16th to the 20th – massive 12ft to 15ft, but with cross-shore winds over 18 mph and lumpy, chopped-up conditions. That’s not for paddle surfing, honestly. If you’ve got a kite, that Wednesday afternoon the 15th with 7ft and fresh cross-shore wind might be worth a look, but for a board, it’s a write-off.
One thing to note: the swell on the 21st and 22nd is coming from the E and ESE, which matches the optimum direction for this spot. The break is a breakwater setup, so it handles that east groundswell well. It’s very consistent here, which is a bonus, but expect crowds sometimes – it’s a known spot.
So, short story: the real standout is Tuesday morning the 21st – clean, 7ft, offshore, and glassy. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th mornings are also good. The rest is either flat, messy, or too big and blown out.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
