The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down in feet and degrees.
The first week or so is pretty lackluster. Conditions are a mess, and the swell is small. You’ll be waiting until Saturday the 29th for the first real chance.
The best day of the whole forecast is Sunday the 6th of September. We’ve got a 3ft swell coming from the SSE, with a 13-second period – that’s real groundswell, with moderate to strong energy (406). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the WNW at 5 km/h. That means clean, glassy lines at Iluka-North Wall. The swell direction is a good match for this spot’s preference. Crowds are a possibility, but with these conditions, it’s worth sharing the lineup. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Another good shout is Saturday the 29th of August. The morning will be clean, with a 3ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and glassy conditions. Combined energy is 242 (moderate). It’s a solid morning session, but the afternoon turns messy with an onshore breeze.
The rest of the period is a mix of small, short-period swell and poor wind. A few mornings look lighter, like Wednesday the 26th and Tuesday the 1st of September, but the waves are only ordinary. There are big gaps of 3-4 days with nothing worth mentioning. When it’s glassy, it’s a gem.
Rusty.
