The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a right-off for surf at Lillatro. There’s a big, fat zero on the scoreboard, and not a single wave worth paddling for. The first chance is Monday morning, August 3rd, but that’s 0.7ft of west-swell junk with a period of just 4 seconds and combined energy of only 2 – basically a lake ripple. It’s pathetic.
The whole first week, from Monday August 3rd through to Sunday August 9th, is a total dud. You’ll see a tiny bump on Saturday morning, August 8th, with 3ft from the west and a period of 7 seconds, combined energy of 58 (still weak), and offshore winds from the NE, so it’d be clean. But 3ft at a reef break like Lillatro with that short period? It’s barely a knee-high dribble. Not worth the wetsuit.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Monday August 10th all the way through to Tuesday August 18th, it’s even worse. There’s a few mornings with offshore winds and glassy conditions, but the swell is gone – 0.3ft, 0.7ft, sometimes flat. The afternoon winds shift onshore or cross-onshore, adding chop to nothing. The only notable thing is the water temp: 82° on that first Monday, which is a whopping 5° warmer than normal – that’s unusual, like a warm bath, but there’s nothing to surf in it.
Frankly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, you’d be better off with a kite on those windy afternoons, because the surf is dead. It’s one of those blank runs where the area just doesn’t have any juice. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
