Wollongong North Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a slow start for Wollongong North Beach, but things are gonna kick into gear soon enough. Monday the 6th of July is a write-off—barely a bump and a stiff southerly breeze, so leave the board in the car. It’s a quiet couple of days to begin with, but hang tight.

Tuesday the 7th of July is where it all wakes up. The morning sees a clean 3ft swell from the ESE, with a lovely offshore wind out of the SSW. The energy’s moderate (373), and while it’s not huge, the conditions are clean and inviting. Bit of a gem for a Tuesday morning session. The afternoon jumps up to a solid 10ft from the SE, but the wind goes cross-off and the energy rockets to strong (2164). That’s proper sized—beginner territory’s out, this is advanced stuff only.

Wednesday the 8th of July morning is the standout. You’ve got 8ft of SE swell, period around 10 seconds, and that SSW offshore wind keeping things glassy. The energy’s strong (1468), and the report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the week—solid, clean, and powerful. The afternoon drops back to 4ft with a cross-off, and it’s a bit more tricky with the tide.

Thursday the 9th of July is a solid day too. Morning sees 6ft from the SE, cross-off wind, and moderate energy (764). The afternoon stays around 6ft, but the wind drops to a light breeze and the energy (597) is promising. It’s clean and should offer good waves.

Friday the 10th of July has a steady 5ft SE swell all day. Morning wind is light, afternoon goes glassy with a southerly breeze dropping to just 3 mph. That’s dreamy conditions—clean, smooth, and mellow energy (428). Perfect for a long session.

Saturday the 11th of July starts clean with 4ft from the SE, but the afternoon turns onshore and messy. Not worth chasing later.

From Sunday the 12th of July through to the 16th of July, it goes flat to tiny. A long stretch of poor surf—don’t bother. The wind is strong and the swell disappears completely.

Friday the 17th of July sees a flicker of life—3ft from the SE with a long 14-second period and a gentle offshore. Energy is low (277), but with that period and clean wind, it could offer a tidy wave if you’re desperate.

Then things get interesting again for Saturday the 18th of July. The morning brings 6ft from the SE, 11-second period, and moderate energy (874). The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but there’s size and power. The afternoon is similar with 6ft, but onshore wind spoils it.

The last few days—Sunday the 19th of July onward—drop off quickly. Tiny swell, poor energy, and strong winds. It’s a tail-off into nothing.

So, for the real highlight: Wednesday the 8th of July morning. Wollongong North Beach with 8ft of SE swell, offshore wind, clean, and powerful. That’s the one to circle. The Tuesday afternoon session with 10ft is also worth a mention if you’re an experienced charger, but the Wednesday morning is cleaner and more manageable. Crowds are possible here, but with conditions that good, you’ll have to share.

Rusty.
