Cunns Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about the only game in town for the next couple of weeks – Cunns. It’s a bit of an inconsistent reef break, so when the stars line up, you need to be on it. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so a normal 3/2 will do you.

We’re kicking off Monday, the 14th, with a tiny little pulse. It’s a clean, glassy 3ft from the southwest, with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is weak at 381. It’s small, but it’s a fun little window if you’re on a fish. It gets a bit more size that afternoon, up to 3ft, but the wind turns cross-off, so it’s not as clean.

Tuesday the 15th, the swell fills in properly. We’re looking at a clean 5ft southwest groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy jumps to the moderate range (1028 to 1148). This is a proper groundswell, so it’s going to wrap around and hold shape on the reef perfectly. The morning has a fresh offshore wind, making for some seriously clean, lined-up waves.

Wednesday the 16th is the standout for the first week. The swell holds at 5ft to 6ft from the SW, still with that long 15-second period. The energy is solid (1306), and all day we’ve got offshore winds. It’s going to be firing – steep, fast, and hollow. This is for experienced surfers; it’ll be too much for beginners.

Thursday the 17th eases off a bit, dropping to 4ft to 4ft, but still clean. The morning is the better bet. After that, we hit a rough patch. From Friday the 18th right through to Sunday the 20th, forget it. The wind goes onshore or cross-shore, and it’s just messy chop. The swell is all over the place, but the wind ruins it completely.

Things turn back on Sunday the 20th afternoon. It’s a clean 7ft southwest swell (1536 energy) with a gentle cross-off breeze. Now we’re talking. Monday the 21st is another ripper – 6ft in the morning, building to 7ft in the afternoon, with the energy jumping to 2103. The wind stays cross-off and clean. This is for the experienced crew again.

Tuesday the 22nd morning starts with a clean 5ft (1074 energy) and a light breeze. The afternoon turns to junk with a howling onshore wind, so get your session in early.

The second week has a few glimmers. Friday the 25th afternoon looks promising – a 7ft clean swell from the SW with 2048 energy and a light breeze. That’s a big, powerful wave. Saturday the 26th is back to smaller, clean 3ft conditions, great for a longboard.

Sunday the 27th brings another big pulse, but the wind is cross-shore and messy, ruining what could be a 7ft to 8ft swell with that very long period. It’s a shame.

Finally, on Tuesday the 29th, we end the outlook on a high note. A clean 6ft from the SW, a very long 18-second period, and a moderate offshore wind. The energy is powerful at 1925. If you can wait, that’s the one to aim for in the second week.

Alright, that’s the long look from me. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
