The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lillatro over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the outlook is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of nothingness ahead. The first bit of swell that’s worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 2nd of August – that’s a solid week and a half of flat or near-flat conditions. From now until then, the combined energy is basically a whisper (single digits), with tiny waves and the odd clean morning, but not enough to get wet for. It’s a real dry spell, so if you’re itching for a wave, you’ll have to be patient.
The only real standout in this whole window is the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August. We get a little pulse of W swell pushin’ through at 4 ft, which is a nice, manageable size for most. The wind is light offshore from the ENE, which will make the faces at Lillatro (reef) clean—smooth takeoffs, no chop. The combined energy climbs to 131 (moderate), which gives the waves a bit of push. The period is 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period swell, but it’ll wall up nice on the reef. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shock to the system.
For the rest of the period, the afternoon on the 2nd and all of Monday the 3rd get messy with cross-onshore winds, and the swell drops off quick. The morning of Tuesday the 4th has glassy conditions but only 0.7 ft of swell, so it’s a flat, clean paddle at best.
So, if you’re keen, your only real shot is the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the only clean, surfable wave in the whole run. The rest of the time, the board stays in the bag.
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.
