The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for Lillatro. We’re looking at a 16-day window where the surf is just not happening. There are no real standout swells, and most days are flat or offer only tiny, weak ripples that aren’t worth paddling for. It’s one of those long periods where you might as well tune the boards and wait.
Starting now, we’ve got a long gap with absolutely nothing rideable. From Monday the 10th through to early Wednesday the 12th, it’s flat – glassy mornings, but no swell energy to speak of. On Wednesday morning the 12th, we finally see a tiny 0.7 ft west swell creep in, but with a period of just 4 seconds, it has zero push (combined energy of 1). That’s not a wave, that’s a ripple. The offshore wind keeps it clean, but it’s barely surfable. Wednesday afternoon gets chopped up by a 12 mph cross-onshore wind anyway.
The rest of the first week stays flat. Thursday the 13th through Sunday the 16th all show zeros for swell. Some glassy mornings would be beautiful if there was anything to ride, but there just isn’t. The second week doesn’t offer much more hope. We get a couple of tiny pulses – Tuesday the 18th afternoon has a 1.0 ft west swell at 5 seconds (combined energy of 8), and Wednesday the 19th morning gives 1 ft from the WSW at 4 seconds (combined energy of 7). The wind is light offshore on Wednesday morning, so it’s clean, but those are ankle-biters at best.
From there it’s back to flat again until around Saturday the 22nd, where we see a 1 ft south swell with a short 3-second period, giving a combined energy of 6. It’s glassy that morning so it’ll look like glass, but there’s just no power. After that, the last few days are essentially flat or have minimal 0.7 ft slop.
Look, the only break in the picture is Lillatro, a reef setup. It’s fairly consistent here normally but this 16-day run is a total doldrums. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s over 5 degrees above average, very unusual stuff. But warm water doesn’t make waves.
There’s nothing for beginners here because there’s nothing at all, and experts won’t have any reason to get wet. This stretch is more suited for a swim or a snorkel than a surf. I wouldn’t hold my breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long blank run.

Information about the Lillatro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lillatro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lillatro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lillatro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lillatro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Lillatro 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.
