Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get stuck into it. The opening stretch is pretty grim. Easky Right’s got some swell showing up from the 11th, but the wind is just ruining it. Friday arvo has 6ft of WNW swell, moderate wave energy (683), but that 9 mph cross-off from the SSW isn't doing it any favours and it's been flagged as marginal. The water is 60°, just a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's not freezing, but it's not exactly tropical.

It’s not until Sunday morning the 13th that things start to shape up. The wind goes glassy offshore from the south at just 3 mph, and we get a clean 5ft NW swell with a period of 11 seconds, wave energy sitting at 686. That’s a proper groundswell setup, and with that offshore breeze, Easky Right will be looking clean. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and with that longer-period swell, it should shape up nicely for a beginner-friendly wave. The crowds can be a factor here – they often are – so get in early.

Sunday afternoon holds okay, still offshore at 13 mph from the south, dropping a touch to 5ft NW swell (10 seconds, 438 energy). It'll be cleaner than the morning but a bit smaller.

Monday the 14th is a write-off in the morning with only 2ft waves. The afternoon pushes back up to 4ft, but that 19 mph cross-off from the SSW is strong and the quality's poor.

Things get messy through Tuesday and Wednesday, with lumpy cross-shore winds and rain. Not worth paddling out.

Now, we’ve got a real gap here – a few days of average to poor conditions. But hold tight, because Thursday the 24th of September is the absolute standout. This is one of those days you dream about. Easky Right sees a massive 18ft WNW swell with a period of 15 seconds, and the wave energy is off the charts at 13250. That is serious groundswell. The wind is a light 9 mph cross-off from the southeast, keeping things clean. This is an exceptional setup, but make no mistake – with waves over 8ft, this is strictly for expert surfers only. It’s also a long-period groundswell, and on a reef break like this, it’ll offer proper, powerful lines. You can expect very, very good surf here, but it’s not a beginner's playground. Crowds are often a thing here, and on a day like this, it’ll be busy with the chargers.

Thursday afternoon keeps the quality up – 16ft WNW swell (14 seconds, 10601 energy) with a 16 mph offshore from the south. Still for experts only.

After that, Friday the 25th drops to 8ft, but the wind gets strong, and by the arvo it’s near gale force. Saturday the 26th morning brings back some quality with 7ft WNW groundswell (14 seconds, 2823 energy) and light cross-off winds – another good session for experienced surfers.

So, best on offer: Thursday 24th September is the big one. Immense swell, clean wind, expert-level waves. Sunday 13th and Saturday 26th are solid second options for intermediate crew. Don’t bother with the first week apart from that Sunday.

Rusty.
