Totoralillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, gang, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Totoralillo over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. Monday the 10th through Tuesday the 11th is basically a no-go. Swell is small, wind is on it, the energy is weak. Don’t bother paddling out.

The first real sign of life comes Wednesday morning the 12th. It’s tiny, only about 4ft, but the wind is glassy, the ocean is flat as a pancake, and the energy is moderate (251). It’s a small window, but it’ll be clean and fun for a mellow session.

Thursday the 13th is a washout with cross-shore breeze, and Friday the 14th morning is glassy but with a tiny 2ft swell. Clean, but barely a ripple. The highlight of the first week is Saturday the 15th morning. That’s a solid 5ft groundswell from the WSW, glassy conditions, and a combined energy of 669 – that’s moderate to strong. The waves will have some push, and the wind will be off the land, making it clean as a whistle. This is the one to hit in the first week.

Sunday the 16th is a solid day too. The morning is glassy on a 3ft SW groundswell, and the afternoon brings offshore wind from the ENE. That’s clean and groomed. Monday the 17th afternoon also looks good with a punchy 5ft SW swell and clean offshore wind – that one will have some power.

Then we hit a rough patch. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th get churned up by cross-onshore winds. The swell is there, but it’s messy. Thursday the 20th sees a big jump in energy – 1766 for the morning, with a 6ft WSW swell – but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and lumpy. A lot of power, but not clean. For experienced surfers only.

The absolute gem of the whole forecast lands on Sunday the 23rd. This is the one to mark. The morning brings a solid 5ft WSW groundswell with a long 14-second period, the wind is glassy, and the combined energy is a very strong 1124. This is the kind of day where Totoralillo’s point will be firing. Long, clean, proper lines. This is a standout.

Monday the 24th is still okay, with a glassy morning and 4ft swell, but after that, it fades fast. The last few days of the month are tiny and weak, with poor conditions and low energy. Not worth the drive.

The standout: Saturday the 15th morning for the clean, fun waves, and the absolute best on offer is Sunday the 23rd morning – that’s a true gem with strong, clean, long-period groundswell. Get on it.

Water temp is about 59°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but a nice little bonus.

Rusty out.
