Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

We’re starting off with a bit of a slow burn, but the wait is gonna be worth it. The first few days are a write-off for any decent waves, with small, weak swell and average winds. From Monday the 31st of August right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September, it’s mostly small, junky, and cross-off. Nothing to get excited about. The water is sitting at 62°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The real story starts to build on Thursday the 3rd of September. The swell picks up to 5ft to 6ft from the west, period around 9-10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (474 to 739), but the wind is strong and cross-off, so it’s not clean enough to call it a standout. Still, it’s a sign of things to come.

Then we get the big one. Friday the 4th of September – this is the standout of the whole run. Easky Right is looking at a serious 18ft groundswell from the WNW with a 13-second period. The combined energy is massive at 10,438. This is powerful, heavy swell. The morning is clean with a strong offshore wind, but it’s big – over 8ft – so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The afternoon goes cross-shore and messy, so the morning window is the one. This is a big, deep-water reef setup, so it’ll handle the long period well. Expect a proper, raw session.

After that, Saturday the 5th of September drops down to 10ft in the morning with a cross-onshore, but the afternoon is the sneaky gem. The wind goes glassy, with a 8ft WNW swell at 10 seconds – super clean conditions. The combined energy is 961, still solid. This is a great session for the confident intermediate who wants smooth, lined-up waves without the crowd pressure. But watch out – Easky Right is often crowded, so get out there early.

The following week is a mixed bag. Sunday the 6th of September has a fresh offshore wind, but the swell is only 5ft, and it’s inconsistent. The 7th and 8th see some clean, offshore mornings with 5ft to 6ft swell, but the energy is moderate and the period is short (8-9 seconds), so it’s fun but not epic.

The next true standout comes on Monday the 14th of September. The swell jumps back up to 10ft from the west, with a very long period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is 3,845 to 3,240 – strong. Monday afternoon is the pick: light offshore wind, clean, and the swell is powerful. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but keep in mind, a long-period groundswell like this will be a bit straight at a beach break, but Easky Right is a reef, so it’ll handle it beautifully. The Tuesday following is still big (13ft) but the wind turns cross-shore and lumpy, so it’s less clean.

The best on offer: Friday morning the 4th of September for the big, heavy groundswell for experts, and Saturday afternoon the 5th of September for the glassy, clean conditions on a solid 8ft swell. The Monday the 14th afternoon is also a serious contender for a powerful, clean session.

Rusty out.
