Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Blokken over the next 16 days. I’ll be straight with you, mate – it’s a pretty lean run. The whole forecast period is mostly filled with poor surf conditions, and the few moments where the ocean tries to give us something are still pretty ordinary. There’s a big gap of nothing really worth paddling out for from the start until the second week.

The first decent sign doesn’t appear until Saturday the 12th of September. Even then, it’s not a classic. The morning shows a bit of tiny swell at 2ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 57, so it’s not packing much punch. The real highlight though is the wind – it’s glassy. That’s rare in this outlook, and it’ll make the surface clean. But with such small waves, it’s only going to be interesting for a longboard or a funboard. The break is inconsistent here, so you’ll be waiting around for the sets. Crowds are possible, but given the size, I wouldn’t stress.

After that, it’s back to poor conditions. The swell stays tiny, often under 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s a bit of a clean-up on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th of September with cross-offshore winds and some small 4ft north-east to north-north-east swell, but the energy is still weak (around 82-83), and the period is short at 6 seconds, so the waves will be crumbly and weak. Not really worth getting excited about.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Overall, Blokken is a bit of a waiting game this forecast. The only standout, if you can call it that, is the glassy morning on Saturday the 12th – but keep expectations low. This area is known for being inconsistent, so a blank run like this isn’t a huge surprise. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Otherwise, I’d keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
