The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles.
We’re looking at a slow start, but the first real chance to paddle out is Sunday morning, July 26. Iluka-North Wall (breakwater) will have a 4ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period, and the light offshore breeze from the WSW will have it looking clean. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (396), so there’s some push but not a huge day. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, very consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes, so keep your eyes open.
After that, it goes flat and ordinary for a few days. Tuesday morning, July 28, offers a tiny 2ft from the SE with glassy conditions, but it’s barely worth a mention. Then Thursday, July 30, sees a 5ft swell from the S, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the wind is messy, so it’s a pass.
The real standout is Friday morning, July 31. That SSE swell is 4ft, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (700). The wind is offshore from the SW, so it’s clean. This is the best quality of the whole 16 days. Not huge, but the shape will be proper.
About a week later, on Monday morning, August 10, there’s a 6ft swell from the S with an 8-second period and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The energy is strong (799), and it’s forecast clean. That one is for the experienced crew—it’s getting into expert territory size-wise, but the wind should hold it together.
The long-range stuff around August 2 and 3 is messy. Sunday morning, August 2, has an 8ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is cross-off and the quality is marginal. The energy is very strong (2119). For the advanced guys, Monday morning, August 3, has a 6ft SE swell with an 11-second period and clean conditions—that’s a solid session.
Bottom line: Friday July 31 morning is the best bet. The rest is a mixed bag with some clean windows but nothing to write home about.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Iluka-North Wall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
