Totoralillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards for Totoralillo, a classic point break that’s very consistent and exposed to the southwest. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.

The first real action kicks off Monday morning, the 7th of September. It’s glassy, with a light 3 mph wind and a clean 4ft SW groundswell rolling in at a long 14 seconds. The energy is moderate (573), and the conditions are set up for some really good waves. This is a standout session for the early part of the forecast.

Tuesday the 8th is another early morning call. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, with a clean 3ft SW swell at 13 seconds. The energy is still moderate (370). It’s a touch smaller, but it’ll be beautiful and clean.

Wednesday the 9th morning is much the same story – glassy, a light 3 mph wind, and 3ft of SW groundswell at 12 seconds (322 energy). Good, clean point-surf. The afternoons through the week are a write-off with onshore winds, so stick to the early sessions.

There’s a bit of a swell bump on Saturday the 12th, but it’s a messy one. The morning has 5ft of short-period (7 seconds) SW windswell, and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s not great for a paddle board. The afternoon kicks up to 6ft with a 16 mph onshore wind – that’s more of a kite day than a surf day.

Sunday the 13th morning is a total surprise. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and the swell is a tiny 2ft, but with a very long period of 19 seconds. The energy is moderate (383). For a point break, that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, offering some stunning, lined-up waves even if they’re small. A real treat.

Monday the 14th is the absolute standout of the entire run. The morning is glassy, calm, with a 3ft SW groundswell at a very long 16 seconds. The energy is strong (593). This is a classic Totoralillo day – clean, long-period, and the point will be reeling. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

The next week drops off a bit in size, but there are still clean windows. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th mornings are glassy again with 3ft to 3ft of SW swell. Then, on Monday the 21st of September, we get another big pulse. The morning is glassy with a 5ft SW groundswell at 13 seconds and a massive 771 energy reading. That’s a serious amount of moderate-to-strong energy. It’s going to be a powerful, clean session.

The final standout is Tuesday the 22nd of September morning. Glassy, 4ft of SW swell, but with a very long 16-second period and a huge 805 energy reading. It’s a promising long-range call, but it’s far out so keep an eye on it.

Overall, there’s a bit of a gap in the middle of the second week, but the early mornings are the real deal here. The best on offer is the Monday the 14th and Monday the 21st mornings. Don’t miss them.

Rusty.
