Totoralillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from Totoralillo, a consistent point break that's exposed to WSW swell. Water temp's sittin' at 59°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year – nothin' crazy, but it's a touch on the mild side for July.

We've got a bit of a slow start to this 16-day run. Thursday's a write-off with small, onshore junk, so don't even bother. Friday the 24th sees a bit more size pushin' in at 6ft from the WSW, but that cross-onshore breeze is gonna mess with the face. It's there, but it's not pretty. Saturday and Sunday morning stay small, but here's the first real glimmer: Sunday the 26th morning goes glassy, with a long-period 14-second groundswell at 3ft. It's small, but that energy is clean and organised (combined energy 402). That's a sneaky, small-wave session for the longboard if you're keen.

The real standout of the first week hits on Monday the 27th morning. Glassy conditions again, with a solid 4ft swell from the WSW at 11 seconds. The water's clean, the energy is building (659), and this point will be linkin' up nicely. That's your best bet early on.

Then the energy really starts to pump. Tuesday the 28th has clean, cross-off winds all day with swell holdin' around 4ft to 5ft. Good, fun surf.

Now, if you're lookin' for the big moment, mark your calendar for Thursday the 31st of July. The afternoon session turns glassy, and we get a 7ft pulse from the WNW. That's got some grunt behind it (combined energy 1149) with a 9-second period. That's excellent, punchy surf for experienced riders. The size is gettin' up there, so this one's for the crew who know what they're doin'.

The first of August keeps that size around 7ft to 7ft, but the wind turns cross-on and onshore, so it won't be as clean as that Thursday glass-off.

There's a bit of a lull into the first week of August, with smaller days and some poor afternoon wind. But then we get another cracker on Tuesday the 4th of August: a glassy morning at 3ft, then the afternoon goes glassy again with a 6ft WSW swell. That's a beautiful, clean session.

The final standout in this outlook is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning is a bit bumpy at 6ft, but the afternoon is where it's at. Glassy conditions, a solid 7ft swell from the WSW, and a long 14-second period. Combined energy is pumpin' at 1562. That's excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only – the sets will be clean, long, and heavy. That's likely the pick of the whole forecast, but we're over a week out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, there's plenty to work with here. The spot is very consistent, and the crowds are only "sometimes" an issue, so you can usually find your own little peak. The north wind events later on really clean things up. Keep that glassy window on the 5th of August in your sights.

Rusty.
