The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a flat spell and it’s gonna hang around for a while. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with nothing but tiny, weak waves. The whole period is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The first real chance of a wave pops up on Wednesday the 22nd, but it’s a sad little 1ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period. The energy is barely a whisper at 27. That’s not a wave, that’s a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
So, the only spot in the game is Lori Wilson Park. It’s a very consistent break, but that consistency doesn’t mean a thing when the swell is this weak. The swell direction is from the ESE, while the break likes E wind, so it’s a mismatch. The best conditions you’ll see are when the wind goes light offshore or glassy, like on the 27th (Monday morning) with a light W breeze, or the 3rd of August (Monday morning) when it’s dead glassy. But even then, you’re still looking at ankle-snappers of 1ft to 1ft. The combined energy never gets above 74, which is pitiful. For a few days there, like the 1st and 2nd of August, we get a risk of t-storms, but the waves are even smaller, dropping to 0.7ft.
Look, if you’re a beginner just wanting to stand up on a foamie in the whitewater, you might get a tiny bit of fun on a glassy morning, but for anyone else, it’s not worth dragging the board out of the car. This is a classic summertime flat spell for the area. It’s a long haul. The setup is a beach, so with no real swell and occasional onshore wind, it’d be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Don’t sweat it too much, though. It tends not to stay this flat for long, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

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.
