The Lowdown
Gather 'round, tribe. Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – looking at the next couple of weeks at Lori Wilson Park, it's a bleak picture. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there's not a single session I'd paddle out for right now. Every single day, every single tide, gets slapped with "poor surf conditions." That's a long stretch of nothing, so if you're itching for a wave, maybe take up golf for a bit. The setup here is a beach break that's fairly exposed, but the swells we're seeing are just too weak and small to overcome the wind.
Let's start with the water: at Lori Wilson Park, it's 85.8°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a little blanket of bathwater while we wait for nothing.
Alright, diving into the guts of it. The first several days are a total write-off. Tuesday the 8th, we've got a risk of thunderstorms, a tiny 0.3m swell from the ENE with a long 11-second period, but the cross-onshore wind at 5 km/h kills it. The combined energy is a pathetic 39, barely a ripple. The swell bumps up to 1.6 ft by afternoon, but the period drops to a junky 7 seconds. Wednesday the 9th is a little better with a 2.6 ft swell from the ENE and some onshore wind, hitting a combined energy of 112 (moderate energy), but the comment says "poor surf conditions." That's the story all week: tiny swells, cross-onshore winds, and thunderstorms. The early morning of Saturday the 19th shows a brief moment of glassy wind with a 2.0 ft swell from the E, but the period is only 6 seconds and the combined energy is just 38. It's a tease, not a session.
Even when we get a bit of size, like on Wednesday the 23rd, with a 3.9 ft swell from the E (period of 7 seconds) and combined energy of 144, the wind is howling onshore at 35 km/h and it's still "poor surf conditions." That's too messy. For a beginner break like this, anything over 5 ft is pushing it, but that day the wind and chop will make it a washing machine. This whole stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
There are no standout sessions. Nothing to get excited about. When a spot is this quiet for this long, it's just one of those runs. The forecasts can change, but right now? Leave the boards in the car.

Information about the Lori Wilson Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lori Wilson Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lori Wilson Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lori Wilson Park 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 (Lori Wilson Park) 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 Lori Wilson Park 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.
