Thirroul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the desk, lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag for our stretch of coast, but there's a couple of sessions that have got me stoked, so let's get into it.

Right off the bat, we've got a few days of small stuff. Monday the 27th of July has some 3ft south swell rollin' in, but it's short period and the energy is weak (172). The morning is glassy though, which is a treat, but the waves are just too ordinary to get excited about. Tuesday and Wednesday are even smaller, with hardly any energy. It's gonna be a flat spell, so save your wax.

Now, Thursday the 30th of July is where it starts to get interesting. We're lookin' at a solid 7ft southerly swell swingin' in, with a massive jump in energy to 1097. That's a lot of power. The wind is offshore and light, so *Thirroul* is gonna be clean. This is proper size, over 8ft territory, so this is for the experienced crew only. Beginners, stay on the sand for this one. The morning is the call, as the afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind.

Friday the 31st of July is still a good one. The swell drops to 5ft from the south, but it's still got plenty of power (502) and we're lookin' at glassy conditions again in the morning. That's a beautiful window for intermediate surfers to get a piece of it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.

The first weekend of August is a bit of a letdown. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd see the swell drop back and the wind gets messy. It's surfable, but it's not a standout.

Lookin' further ahead, Tuesday the 4th of August has another pulse. We're talkin' a 7ft south swell with powerful energy (1295) and clean conditions from a cross-offshore wind. The morning is bigger and might be a bit tricky, but the afternoon drops to a still-strong 5ft and is clean. This is another one for the experienced surfers who can handle the grunt.

Then, the real highlight of the whole outlook is Saturday the 8th of August. Get this in your diary. We've got a solid 7ft swell from the SSE, but with a period of 12 seconds, that's a proper groundswell. The energy is through the roof at 1355, and the wind is glassy in the morning. This is a dream scenario for *Thirroul*. The swell direction from the SSE is a good match for the break, and with conditions like that, it's the best on offer. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-onshore, so the early session is the winner.

Sunday the 9th and beyond, the swell fades again and the energy drops off. There's nothing else that really jumps out, so make the most of that Saturday morning.

Alright, that's the long and short of it. The big call is definitely Saturday the 8th of August for a bomber session, and Thursday the 30th of July as a close second. The rest is a bit of a wait-and-see.

Rusty.
