The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same forecast, but in feet and miles per hour.

We're only looking at Bunkers, and the first week is a real grind. Don't get your hopes up for the early days.

The one day that shines is the morning of Friday, September 11th. We're looking at a clean 3ft swell from the SW, with a dreamy 16-second period. That's proper groundswell with some serious push. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit textured, but this is the best we're going to see. The rest of that first week is just small and choppy.

Now, hold onto your hat, because Thursday, September 17th, things get *heavy*. The swell jumps to nearly 10ft from the WNW, but it's a short-period 12 seconds, and the wind is howling cross-onshore. The energy is enormous, but the conditions are poor. This is expert-only territory. That 10ft wave is way too big for beginners, and the wind will chop it up into a bumpy mess. The following days stay in the 6ft to 10ft range, but the wind never lets up. It's a lot of water moving, but it's not going to be fun for the average surfer.

The bottom line: the best session is that Friday morning, the 11th. Small, but clean and with real power. The big stuff later on is a brute that only the die-hards should even think about.

Rusty.

Information about the Bunkers Surf forecast

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