Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Blokken. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim run. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of windows, but for the most part, the ocean isn't playing ball. There’s no proper stand-out day that gets my heart pumping, but there’s one little window that might just be worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle.

First off, we’ve got a long stretch of flat to tiny, rubbish surf. From now through to mid-August, the swell is small and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. On Thursday the 6th of August, we’ve got a weak 4ft swell from the WNW with a short, weak period of 5 seconds and weak energy. The wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, so it’ll be lumpy and poor.

Friday the 7th of August morning offers a tiny glimmer. The swell drops to 3ft from the NNW, period picks up to 8 seconds, and we get a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, making it clean. The energy is still very weak, and the conditions are described as "surfable but very ordinary." If you’re a beginner, this is tiny and clean, but there’s hardly any push.

From Saturday the 8th onward, it’s back to tiny waves – mostly under 2ft – with onshore or cross winds. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 8th, but the swell is just 1ft with very weak energy. Not worth suiting up for.

The only slight highlight pops up on the 19th of August, which is well over a week away. Wednesday morning the 19th kicks up to a 6ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy picks up to moderate. That’s the biggest wave energy we see in the whole run. The problem? The wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore from the W, which is going to make it lumpy and messy. At 6ft, it’s getting a bit big for a learner but not huge for an experienced surfer. The direction (NNW) is close to the optimum (NNW), so there’s potential shape if the wind drops. But with that cross-onshore breeze, it’s likely going to be a choppy, blown-out mess.

Given the persistent cross-onshore winds and the beach setup here, a lot of these days with that moderate energy and strong wind are going to look more appealing for kite surfing than paddling.

There’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendation right from the start. Honestly, if you’re a surfer, keep an eye on the 19th as a long-range possibility, but don’t hold your breath. For now, it’s a quiet period.

Rusty.
