Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lori Wilson Park over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking like a flat spell. There's simply nothing to get excited about. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions all the way through.
The only break on the radar is Lori Wilson Park. It's a very consistent, beginner-friendly spot, but the swell is just not showing up. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely cracking 17 (weak energy), and almost all the morning sessions are clean but with waves barely 1ft on an 8-second ESE wind swell. That's barely a ripple. The afternoons are even worse, with a lot of cross-onshore wind making it choppy and messy.
For the first four days, from Monday the 13th to Thursday the 16th, you're looking at flat, clean mornings but with nothing to ride. The afternoons are a write-off. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so at least the water will feel normal.
The situation doesn't improve. Gaps of several days with no real surf at all stretch through the entire forecast. The weekend of the 18th-19th has a tiny bump of 2ft on Saturday afternoon, but it's a 3-second wind swell with a moderate cross-onshore. That's a kite surfer's dream, not a paddle surfer's.
Even into the third week, from the 23rd to the 28th, the pattern holds. It's the same story: tiny 1ft ESE swell, short period, and often choppy in the afternoons. The 24th has a risk of thunderstorms and moderate rain, so at least you'll get a wash on the beach.
The honest truth is there are no standouts. Not one. The forecast is a total blank for anyone looking to get a real wave. This area is known for these runs, so it's not a surprise, but it's still a bummer. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I'd save the wax.

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.
