E-Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me break this down for you. E-Bay is looking like a slow starter, but there’s a couple of real gems if you’re patient.

From Sunday the 12th through Saturday the 18th, it’s pretty grim. Onshore wind, small sloppy surf. The swell energy is weak, mostly in the 200 to 400 range, with periods that aren’t doing anything special. Not worth getting wet.

Then Sunday the 19th morning brings a change. Glassy conditions, 2ft of S swell with a 21-second period – that’s long-period groundswell. The combined energy is 504, so there’s some real punch. The glassy surface will make it look like a treat. This long-period energy will work well on this reef, giving you clean lines, though expect longer waits between sets. Afternoon holds 3ft, still glassy, with energy hitting 940. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

That window shuts fast. Monday the 20th sees 6ft of S swell, but onshore wind and a period dropping to 17 seconds makes it messy. Energy spikes to 1738, but with the wind on it, this reef break will be a mess. Skip it.

Then another quiet spell until the standout. Saturday the 25th morning: 4ft of S swell, 16-second period, combined energy at a massive 2080. The wind is glassy. This is expert territory – the reef will handle that long-period energy and give you powerful, lined-up waves. Crowds are possible, so get in early. Afternoon stays glassy, same size, energy drops to 888, but still solid.

Sunday the 26th is tiny and messy. Monday the 27th morning offers a small, glassy 3ft S swell with a 14-second period and 345 energy – clean but small.

The clear winner is Saturday the 25th morning. Glassy, powerful S swell, perfect for the reef. That’s your session.
