The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Iluka North Wall (Iluka) over the next couple of weeks.
The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing wild there.
Alright, truth be told, the first week is pretty ordinary. The standout window is Monday morning, August 3rd. That’s the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell out of the SE with a solid 11-second period, and a light NW cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (616), and the waves should be nice and clean. It’s not huge, but it’s the best you’ll see for a while.
After that, things get average. Tuesday morning August 4th drops to 3ft and there’s not much energy (131). The wind is off but the swell is small. The rest of that week is a mix of small, weak waves and onshore winds, with a few clean mornings but nothing to get excited about. There’s a long gap of pretty poor surf from Tuesday afternoon right through to the end of the first week.
The second week isn’t much better for quality surf. The conditions stay messy with gusty winds and small, choppy waves. There’s a bit of a pulse on the weekend of August 16th and 17th, with the swell size climbing back to 3-5ft and longer periods, but the wind is cross or cross-on and the guidance flags it as marginal. The energy does get strong on the 17th afternoon (1090), but it’s a long-range call and conditions look questionable.
So, if you’re keen, hit Monday morning August 3rd. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
