The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Totoralillo is dishing up for the next couple of weeks.
The big picture is we’ve got a decent swell showing up, but the wind is going to be a pain for quite a stretch. Water temp is about 59°, which is a touch warmer than usual for now.
The first few days are nasty. Saturday afternoon is a total washout. Sunday the 2nd sees some size show up in the afternoon – a 2.0m swell from the WSW with a 12-second period – but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. The energy is solid (1127).
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are more of the same: 1.9m to 2.2m from the WSW and SW, with moderate to strong energy (up to 1381), but it’s all choppy and cross-onshore.
Here’s the gem. Wednesday the 5th is the day to circle. The swell hangs at 1.2m from the WSW, still with that 12-second period, but the wind goes glassy. Glassy! The energy is moderate (768), but for Totoralillo, clean, wind-free faces are gold. Expect very good surf conditions – this is the pick of the whole period.
Thursday the 6th offers a decent window too, with a 1.4m swell from the SW and a 14-second period, plus light offshore wind in the morning. It’s a good call, but maybe not as perfect as Wednesday.
Friday the 7th is a write-off in the morning with strong winds, but the afternoon builds back to 2.0m from the SW. Still cross-onshore though.
The second week is all about size and power, but the conditions stay iffy. Saturday the 8th has 2.3m to 2.5m from the SW with a short 9-second period, and the wind gets strong in the afternoon – that’s big, choppy, expert-only territory. The energy is strong (1432). Sunday the 9th is similar with 2.4m to 3.0m from the SW, but still windy.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have 11-second period with 2.5m swell, and the energy remains strong (up to 1514). The light offshore on Tuesday morning might give a brief clean window, but it’s still a big, powerful wave.
After that, it fades. Wednesday the 12th is down to 1.5m from the SW, and by Friday the 14th we’re looking at 0.6m. The very end of the run, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, has tiny waves (0.4m to 1.0m) but glassy or light cross-off winds. If you’re just itching for a paddle, the conditions will be clean, but there’s no real push.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 5th is the standout. Get on it while the glass is on.

Information about the Totoralillo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Totoralillo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Totoralillo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Totoralillo surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. 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.
