The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown for Iluka-North Wall in feet.
So, the pattern is we get some decent swell rolling in, but the wind is going to mess things up for most of the forecast. The good sessions are few and far between, so pay attention.
The absolute best call is Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’ve got a clean 5ft SSE groundswell, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. At Iluka-North Wall, that’s as good as it gets for a beginner-friendly wave. The combined wave energy sits at a moderate 350, so there’s enough push to be fun without being scary.
After that, things turn ugly. Thursday the 10th we see a big jump to 12ft SSE swell and strong energy at 1874, but with a fresh cross-shore wind at 19 mph, it’ll be a lumpy, blown-out mess. That size is strictly for experienced crew only.
Friday the 11th stays around 8ft to 8ft, but the short period and cross-shore winds keep the quality low. We then drop quickly into flat, choppy junk through the weekend and into the middle of the next week.
A tiny glimmer shows up Monday morning the 14th, with a 1ft groundswell and glassy conditions, but it’s barely surfable. Then there’s a long dry spell until Thursday morning the 17th of September. That morning gives us a clean 3ft SSE swell and glassy winds – another solid, beginner-friendly window with moderate energy at 242.
Looking further ahead, Saturday morning the 19th of September has a small 2ft SSE groundswell with a very long 18-second period, and glassy winds. It’s tiny, and that long period might make the breakwater a bit straight, but for a quiet, clean longboard session, it could be a treat. Energy is moderate at 447.
Water temp is about 69°F, which is normal for this time of year.
For this spot, the clean windows are your only real options. Wednesday morning the 9th and Thursday morning the 17th are the ones to circle. Expect a few locals in the water sometimes, but with glassy conditions and waist-to-chest high swell, it’ll be a fun, mellow session.
Rusty.
