The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table.
Right now, the surf is a bit slow to get going. The first proper call isn’t until Wednesday morning, August 12 at Iluka-North Wall. Before that, it’s a mix of small, messy wind and rain, nothing worth paddling out for. We’ve got a gap of a couple of days before things start looking up.
Wednesday morning is where it gets interesting. Clean 3ft swell from the SSE with a nice 11-second period, light offshore WSW wind at 6 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the breakwater should hold that nicely. Combined swell energy is moderate (251), and the water’s sitting at 68°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. Good conditions for a paddle.
Thursday morning is small and ordinary, not worth getting excited about.
Now, the real standout is Friday morning, August 14. We’re looking at a clean 6ft swell from the S, 9-second period, light SSW cross-offshore at 9 mph. The combined swell energy jumps right up to 908, which is strong stuff. That’s proper waves for Iluka-North Wall, and it’s set to be clean. This is your best bet in the first week.
Saturday morning has some size at 5ft but with more wind and shorter period, so it’s not as crisp.
Moving into the second week, Friday morning, August 21 stands out as the big one. Swell hits 8ft from the E with a 9-second period, light SSW cross-offshore wind at 6 mph, and the combined energy is a hefty 1002 – that’s strong wave energy. The offshore wind should keep things clean. That said, at 8ft it’s getting solid, so this is one for experienced surfers only. Looks like a ripper, but it’s a way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
Also worth a look is Sunday morning, August 23: a much more manageable 4ft from the E, 10-second period, 3 mph W offshore wind – that’s near glassy. Clean conditions with moderate energy (512). A good day for a cruisy session.
There’s some onshore junk and stormy bits in between, especially around the 18th and 19th with rain and cross-onshore winds. That’s more kite-surfing weather than a clean paddle.
So, bottom line: Friday August 14 morning is your first standout, and Friday August 21 morning is the big, powerful one for the experienced crew. Otherwise, pick the clean windows mid-week and early the following Sunday.
Keep an eye on the long-range stuff – it’s promising but not locked in yet.
Stay wet,
Rusty
