The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve run the numbers, and it’s a bummer. Over the next 16 days for Lillatro, there’s nothing worth getting wet for. From Monday September 14 all the way through Tuesday September 29, it’s flat as a pancake.
The only hint of something happens on Friday September 18, when a 1.5m west swell shows up with moderate energy (251). But the wind is cross-shore, the period is 7 seconds – that’s weak windswell, not proper groundswell. The report says “poor surf conditions.” For a reef like Lillatro, you need clean wind and decent direction, and this is neither.
That Friday morning is the biggest swell of the whole run, and it’s still a dud. Every other day is 0.1m to 0.2m of swell, energy in the single digits. You’d be better off floating on a pool toy.
Water temp is way above normal at 27°C (about 4° warmer than average for this time of year). That’s weird and notable, but no help when there’s no waves.
So, no good options in this 16-day window. For this spot, a long flat stretch like that is pretty normal. Forecasts can always turn around, but right now, hang up the wetsuit and enjoy the warm water.

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.
