The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it for the next couple of weeks at Iluka North Wall.
It starts off pretty slow. Don't bother suiting up on Tuesday the 25th of August. The wind is junk and there’s a weak 3ft easterly swell getting chopped up. Wednesday the 26th has a cleaner morning with a 4ft wave, but it’s still ordinary. Thursday the 27th is poor again.
The first real highlight is Friday the 28th of August. Get up early. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and there’s a clean 3ft SSE swell with 9-second periods. Combined wave energy is moderate (260). The break can get crowded sometimes, so an early paddle pays off for a clean session. The water is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, so don't forget a jacket.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th look rough, with the swell bumpy and messy. Saturday afternoon gets a choppy 6ft from the SSE that won't be fun.
Monday the 31st is marginal, but Tuesday the 1st of September is another standout morning. A light offshore breeze from the NNW will groom a clean 2ft SSE groundswell with a long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell with good energy (367). It’s small but clean, and that long period will give some shape, though it might run a bit straight on the beach. Still fun on the longboard.
The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly average. There are a few clean mornings with small swell, like Saturday the 5th of September with a glassy 3ft wave, but nothing special. From the 6th to the 9th, it’s all small, weak swells and onshore winds.
The pick of the weeks are the mornings of Friday the 28th of August and Tuesday the 1st of September. Show up early for the clean ones.
Rusty.
