Hey, Rusty again. Let’s switch to feet and miles per hour for the same stretch.
Alright, Iluka–North Wall has a slow start. Tuesday morning (7 July) sees a 10ft SSE swell with a strong cross-off breeze – the energy is huge (2176), but the surf is only marginal because of wind and tide. That afternoon gets worse. Wednesday and Thursday stay messy with 10ft and 7ft swells, mostly cross-shore and lumpy. Friday drops to 6ft but still cross-shore and choppy. Not worth it.
Then Saturday morning (11 July) brings a 5ft SE swell with glassy offshore WNW wind at 6 mph. Energy is moderate (420), conditions clean. Small but surfable. Sunday morning (12 July) also has clean offshore wind (W 6 mph) with a 4ft SE swell, 11-second period, energy 360. Both mornings are okay for beginners.
Monday (13 July) the swell drops to 2ft – barely surfable. The rest of that week stays small and mostly cross-shore, with a few clean mornings but tiny waves.
Now the big one – far out, so keep tabs. Tuesday morning, 21 July, a solid 12ft S swell rolls in with 11-second period and massive energy of 4354. The wind is cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, surf clean. That’s over 8ft, so only for experts. The direction isn’t ideal east, but the breakwater can handle it. The afternoon stays similar but with cross-shore breeze. Next morning, Wednesday 22 July, drops to 8ft SSE, long 12-second period, offshore W wind at 3 mph, energy 1969. Another excellent, clean session for strong paddlers. Crowds can show up sometimes.
If you’re experienced, aim for the 21st and 22nd. The rest of the window is either too small or too choppy. Worth the wait.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Iluka-North Wall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Iluka-North Wall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
