The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening for this stretch.
Frankly, the first week is a total bust for Norman Bay (Wilsons Promontory). From Saturday the 5th through to around Monday the 14th, it's a dismal run of poor conditions. The wind is howling out of the NNW, WNW, and SW at 20 to 40 km/h, just ruining the surface. The swell is there, but it's lumpy, choppy, and onshore. Even when the swell hits 8ft on Wednesday the 9th, the wind is still wrecking it. The combined energy that day is strong at 3077, but it's a kite-fest—definitely not a paddle session for a beach break.
After that long, windy drought, we get a break. Sunday the 13th is the first real sign of life. The wind swings around to a light NE cross-off (6 mph), cleaning things right up. The swell is a small 4ft from the SW with a very long 15-second period—proper groundswell. Energy is moderate at 653. For a beginner-friendly spot, that's a welcome change. The water temp is around 56°, which is normal for the season.
Monday the 14th is another clean, tiny day. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon (WNW, 3 mph), with a 3ft SW groundswell. It's surfable, but very small.
The real standout is Friday the 18th. This is the day to aim for. Forecast shows clean, cross-off winds from the NE and ENE (6 mph) with excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Swell is a strong 7ft to 7ft from the WSW, with a long 15 to 16-second period. That's powerful groundswell energy (2734). This will be a proper, hefty wave—too big for beginners, but for anyone who knows what they're doing, this is the best of the whole outlook. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so you might have some company, but for a wave that good, it's worth it. Expect big, clean lines, though a long-period swell like this might close out on a beach break—look for the best peak.
It drops off again after that, so make sure you're on it that Friday.
Rusty.
