Thirroul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s happening at Thirroul over this sixteen-day stretch. It starts slow, but there are a couple of gems later on that are worth waiting for.

Right now, Thursday the 13th is a bit of a dud – a weak 4ft south swell with moderate wave energy (303) and onshore wind. Not much to get excited about. Water temp is 64°, right around average for this time of year.

Friday morning the 14th gives us a brief chance: 4ft south swell, 8-second period, glassy conditions, but weak energy (192). It’s surfable but ordinary. After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Friday afternoon right through to the 21st, it’s mostly poor conditions – small waves from 2ft to 4ft, messy winds, and weak energy. A few glassy mornings like the 19th pop up, but the waves are just too ordinary to bother.

The first real standout is Saturday the 22nd afternoon. We’ve got a 4ft north-east swell with an 8-second period, clean offshore wind, and moderate energy (301). That NE swell matches up nicely with the spot’s optimal SE direction, and the offshore breeze will put a nice face on the waves. Crowds are possible here, so expect a few others out.

Sunday the 23rd is poor again – small, cross-off winds, not worth it.

Then Monday the 24th morning is the big one. A 5ft south swell with a 10-second period – that’s groundswell – clean conditions, and energy at 532 (moderate to strong). This is a proper wave with good shape. It’s a bit much for beginners over 5ft, but intermediates will be in heaven.

Tuesday the 25th morning still offers a solid 4ft SSW swell with moderate offshore wind and clean conditions.

After that, we hit small days again through the 26th.

But brace yourself. Thursday the 27th morning brings a 7ft south swell – that’s expert territory – with strong energy (1081) and clean wind. Friday the 28th morning tops out at 8ft, energy at 1472, still clean. The absolute stand-out is Friday the 28th afternoon: 7ft south swell, 10-second period, glassy conditions, and massive energy at 1549. If you’re experienced, that’s the session of the run – powerful, clean, and lined up.

To sum it up: the first week is mostly flat and messy. The best bets are Saturday the 22nd afternoon for a clean fun session, and the standout stretch from Monday the 24th morning through Friday the 28th afternoon – especially the 24th morning and that 28th afternoon. The late-week call is a bit far out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a beauty.

Rusty.
