Alright surfers. This one's a mix of heavy water and waiting for wind to play nice. Rusty here.
Week one kicks off with some proper size. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th are showing waves around 6ft to 7ft from the SE, packing some serious energy (646 to 1245). The bad news is the wind is messy cross and cross-onshore, turning it into lumpy chop. That’s expert territory at that size, and it's not pretty. The long period groundswell on Wednesday (12 seconds) is just wasted with that wind.
Thursday the 9th stays big with a 8ft south-east swell early, but it's still cross-shore and not clean.
Then we hit a flat spell. From Friday the 10th through Saturday the 12th, it's tiny and poor. A few days of nothing.
Find your window on Sunday the 12th of July. The swell is small at 3ft from the ESE, and energy is weak (204), but the wind is perfect. We've got a clean 5 mph offshore from the WSW in the morning. Glassy. That 11-second period will help those little lines hold shape. It’s the only clean option on the board, great for the longboard.
After that, from Monday the 13th on, it’s back to tiny, average stuff under 2ft with messy winds. A small 4ft pulse on Sunday the 19th is short period and weak.
Best Bet: Sunday the 12th of July morning. That offshore wind will make it pure glass.
Stay wet.

Information about the Wurtulla Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wurtulla provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wurtulla can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wurtulla 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 (Wurtulla) 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 Wurtulla 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.
