Thirroul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off just yet. The early part of the week is pretty ordinary, with only small, weak swells and cross-off winds keeping things clean but not exactly firing. The real action starts to build from Thursday, the 6th of August. That’s when we see a solid south swell pushing in, with moderate energy (234) and clean conditions in the morning under a light west breeze. It’s not massive, but it’s a genuine window of fun, groomed surf.

The standout, without a doubt, is Friday morning, the 7th of August at Thirroul. We’re looking at a clean 4ft south swell, with a period around 9 seconds and a glassy, dead-calm morning. The energy is still moderate (205), but with zero wind, the waves will be silky smooth. This is the pick of the period—get out there early before the cross-onshore breeze spoils it by the afternoon.

Things go quiet again over the weekend and into the start of the next week, with only small, weak waves on offer. Honestly, there’s a dry spell from Saturday afternoon right through to the middle of the following week. Then, on Monday the 17th of August, we get a big spike of energy—a very powerful south swell with strong energy (1070) and a 12-second period. The swell height is pushing 6ft to 7ft. That’s a lot of water moving, and with the wind being light and cross-shore, the waves will have real grunt. However, the report flags it as marginal, so it might be a bit raw and lumpy. This one’s for experienced surfers only—beginners should sit this one out. The energy is strong (1070 to 1099), so there’s plenty of push, but the quality might be a bit rugged.

All up, the clear winner is Friday morning the 7th of August. That’s your chance for some clean, glassy lines. The big swell on the 17th is worth watching, but it’s a long way off and the conditions are uncertain.
