Wurtulla Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a real flat spell with heaps of wind and chop. For the first eight days, from Saturday the 4th right through to Saturday the 11th, it’s honestly pretty grim. No decent surf to speak of – it’s all poor conditions with moderate to fresh cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, and the swell is either small or too messy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Sunday the 12th. Wurtulla picks up a tiny 2ft ESE groundswell with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is light glassy from the NW, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, the combined energy is pretty weak (195) and the swell is tiny. It’s surfable for a beginner on a longboard, but you won’t be getting your heart pumping.

Monday the 13th morning is similar – glassy conditions again with a 2ft ESE swell (period 10 seconds) and light NW wind. The energy is even lower (90). It’s clean but very small. After that, we drop right back into a poor run through to the end of the window. The swell bumps up a bit towards the weekend of the 18th, with Saturday the 18th seeing 6ft to 7ft from the ESE, but the wind is still cross-shore or cross-onshore and the energy readings are moderate (363-432). It’s a messy, lumpy look and nothing I’d get excited about. For the expert surfers, the bigger days around 7ft to 8ft on the 8th and 9th of July are technically out there, but the wind and cross-chop ruin it.

The only standout, and I mean *only*, is the glassy mornings on Sunday 12th and Monday 13th. That’s your best bet for a clean, small wave session. Everything else in this 16-day run is a write-off. I’d be checking back closer to the time – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long, frustrating wait.

Rusty.
