The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s cookin’ for Totoralillo over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a real mixed bag of a forecast coming our way. The action starts this Friday, the 14th, with a small but clean start. The water is sitting at 58°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, but a little extra comfort for the early paddles.
The first real standout is that Saturday morning, August 15th. Get on it. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the west, with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is pumping (706), and it’s glassy. The offshore wind is slight, meaning the lineup at this point break is going to be clean. The swell direction is a nice match for the optimum WSW. This is the pick of the first week without a doubt.
After that, the surf gets a bit messy. Sunday the 16th drops off, and Monday through most of the following week is a write-off thanks to poor conditions and poor winds. There’s a bit of a window on Tuesday morning, August 18th, with a 4ft SW swell and glassy conditions, but it’s not the same quality as that Saturday.
We hit a dry spell for a few days, but then things get interesting again. On Tuesday, August 25th, the afternoon session is a monster for the experienced crew. You’re looking at a 8ft swell from the WNW, with a combined energy of 1061. That’s a serious push. It’s glassy, which is a massive plus, but at that size, it’s strictly for the experts. The short 9-second period means it’ll be a bit lumpy, but for a point break, the power will be there.
The final days of the month show a slow fade, with a few small, clean mornings but nothing to get the heart racing. The 29th of August shows a little pulse of 2ft from the west with clean, cross-off winds, but it’s a small end to the run.
So, to sum it up: Saturday the 15th is the one for the average surfer. Tuesday the 25th afternoon is the big one, but only if you’ve got the skills. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Totoralillo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

If you surf the same spot (Totoralillo) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Totoralillo may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
