Table - best surf conditions forecast for Totoralillo over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down Totoralillo. It’s a point break that’s very consistent, open to the WSW, and needs a good swell from that direction. The water temp is sitting at 59°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year – just a touch of extra warmth in the water.
The first few days are pretty flat and average. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are weak – small, onshore wind, and the wave comment is marginal. You’re looking at a gap there with no real standouts early on. Tuesday the 28th gets a jump in size with 7ft from the WSW, but it’s still onshore and the conditions are marked marginal, so it’s messy.
The first real moment comes Wednesday morning the 29th. The wind drops to glassy – zero wind – and you’ve got a 5ft groundswell from the WSW with a 15-second period, which is very long. The combined swell energy is 635 (moderate), and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the standout. The long period makes it a bit straight for a beach break, but for a point like Totoralillo, it’s perfect. Glassy, solid, clean – this is your best window.
After that, Thursday the 30th is glassy again but smaller, with 3ft waves. Still fun. Friday the 31st picks up to 5ft from the WNW with a cross-off breeze, giving clean waves. Saturday the 1st of August is another glassy morning with 4ft from the WSW and an 11-second period – clean and rideable.
Things get messy from Sunday the 2nd onward. The wind kicks up, turns cross-on and onshore, and the quality drops. A few days of poor surf roll in. There’s a tiny window on Friday the 7th of August with 4ft from the SW and a 13-second period, but it’s cross-on so not perfect.
The second week shows a pulse of size around Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th with 7ft and 6ft from the SW, but the wind is onshore and moderate, making it choppy. That’s for the experienced crowd, and even then it’s not clean. By Monday the 10th, it’s 7ft from the SW again with 16 mph cross-on winds – that’s more for kite surfing than paddling.
So, the standout is Wednesday morning the 29th of July. Glassy, 5ft, long-period groundswell, and a point break that should handle it perfectly. That’s your best bet. The rest of the outlook is a mix of small clean windows and messy, windy days.

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.
