The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at the charts and it’s a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead. The first few days are a write-off, with hardly any energy and messy wind. There is a brief flicker of something cleaner towards the middle of the month, but it’s small. The best bet in the whole 16-day window is a couple of mornings where the wind drops right out, making it glassy, even if the waves are tiny.
The one spot that pops up is Lori Wilson Park. It’s a very consistent, beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly exposed to the east. The water temperature is sitting at 85° right now, which is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
The first real chance to get wet will be on Thursday, September 10th. The morning is looking like the pick of the whole period. We’ll have a tiny 1 ft swell coming from the NE, with a period of 9 seconds. The real kicker is the wind – it’s forecast to be glassy. That means the surface will be like a mirror, making even the smallest waves look tempting. Combined wave energy is low at 35, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. It’s a great morning for a longboard or a foamie.
Then there’s a gap of a few days with nothing much. The next little window shows up on Sunday, September 13th, with another glassy morning. The swell is still a tiny 1 ft from the ESE with a 9-second period, and the energy is still weak at 29. It’s another clean, small morning.
The next good one is on Monday, September 14th. The morning shows glassy conditions again, with a 2 ft swell from the east at 9 seconds. The energy is moving up a touch to 43, but it’s still weak. Same story for Tuesday, September 15th morning – glassy, with a 1 ft swell from the ESE.
So, to be straight with you, there’s no standout big swell in this forecast. The only standout is the quality of the conditions on those few mornings. If you’re desperate for a paddle and a few little waves, that Thursday the 10th morning is your best bet. Just keep your expectations in check for the size.
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.
