Alright folks, let’s break it down. It’s a rough patch ahead. If you’re looking for a good wave, you’re going to be waiting. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday, July 21st, and even that is a borderline call. That’s a solid two weeks of flat or near-flat conditions from where we are now.
Most of the time, the ocean is just not interested. Tiny, short-period junk and energy readings in the single digits. It’s mostly a lake out there. You’re better off finding something else to do.
For the one hope we’ve got, it’s over at Lillatro, a reef that’s pretty consistent. On the morning of July 21st, we finally get a pulse. The swell is from the west at 3ft, with a 7-second period. That combined energy hits 94 (moderate), so the ocean is actually moving. The wind is flat calm, glassy. That’s perfect. When the wind is off the ENE like a light whisper, the surface will be like glass. The water is right where it should be for the season – nothing weird going on with the temperature.
Is it going to be a day you remember forever? No. It’s small, it’s weak, and the period is short. But if you’ve been staring at a flat horizon for two weeks, it’s a chance to get out. The wave isn’t powerful enough to be dangerous for beginners – it’ll be a slow, gentle paddle. For experts, it’s barely a paddle out. Just keep your expectations in check. That’s all she wrote for this stretch.

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.
