Thirroul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks down at Thirroul. It’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but there’s a couple of moments that’ll get the heart pumping if you’re patient.

The water temp’s sittin’ at about 64°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Right now, it’s pretty quiet. The first solid chance we’ve got to wet a line isn’t until Wednesday the 16th, but don't get too excited. That day brings a big jump in size – 10ft to 12ft of south swell – but the wind’s gonna be a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, and the combined energy is a massive 1400-2134 (moderate to strong). That’s a lot of power, but with that chop, it’s gonna be a messy, lumpy mess. Only for the real die-hards who don’t mind a wrestling match.

Thursday the 17th keeps the size up at 10ft from the south with a moderate cross-shore, but the energy jumps to a whopping 3208 (strong). Still a bit rough around the edges, though. Not the cleanest, but there’s grunt there.

The real standout window, the one you wanna circle on the calendar, is Friday morning the 18th. We’ve got a drop in size to a much friendlier 4ft from the south, but the kicker is the wind – it goes glassy, dead calm. Combined energy is a healthy 314 (moderate). That’s the kind of morning where the waves have some shape, it’s clean as a whistle, and you might just have the place to yourself if the crowds aren’t on it. That’s your best bet of the whole outlook, hands down.

After that, it drops away again. We see some small clean-ish surf on Saturday the 19th (2ft, light offshore) but it’s tiny, and then a big lull with almost nothing until Monday the 21st when a 8ft SSE swell rolls in with a cross-onshore breeze. Not ideal. The next real glimmer is Saturday the 26th – another glassy morning, this time with a 5ft swell from the ENE and moderate energy (398). That’s a promising second option, a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s a long way off.

Monday the 28th wraps things up with a 7ft S swell and light cross-onshore wind. Big energy (1158), but the onshore element will make it a bit lumpy.

So to sum it up: get out for that Friday the 18th morning glass-off if you can. The rest of the window is either too small, too messy, or just plain blown out. Hang in there.

Rusty.
