Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next stretch at Easky Right.

We've got a bit of a story unfolding here. The start of the period is a bit of a write-off, but don't lose hope. There's a solid window of clean, smaller waves mid-week, and then a big pulse of swell at the very end that's worth keeping an eye on, even if it's a bit raw.

Right now, the first few days are a mess. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have some serious size, around 10ft from the WNW, but the wind is all over it – cross and cross-on. The water is a bit warmer than usual at 62°, which is a nice touch, but the combined energy is massive (1765), and it's just not clean. You'd be battling a fresh cross-chop. Not worth the paddle out.

The real sweet spot kicks off on Monday the 27th. The swell drops to a much friendlier 6ft to 7ft from the WNW, and the wind swings around to a clean cross-off. The combined energy is down to a moderate 915, and it's glassy. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are the absolute standouts here. The swell settles further to 4ft to 4ft, and you get clean, gentle offshore winds from the S and SW. The energy is low (219 to 314), but for a beginner-friendly reef break like Easky Right, this is perfect. The waves will be clean, lined up, and a joy to ride. Crowds are often here, so expect company, but the conditions will be worth it.

We get a bit of a handful on Thursday the 30th with a cross-shore bumping things up to 7ft, but then it cleans up again on Friday the 31st. Another good day with a 5ft to 6ft WNW swell, clean offshore winds, and moderate energy (324 to 445). That's a solid session.

After that, we hit a dry spell. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Thursday the 7th, the surf is tiny, the winds are messy, or the breaks aren't forming. The energy drops to under 300 most days, with a few days barely registering 100. It's a long gap of poor conditions.

The forecast throws a bit of a curveball for the second week. There's a big spike on Saturday the 9th of August, with a 10ft WNW swell and a combined energy of 2009. That's a hell of a lot of water moving. But the problem is the wind – it's a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The period is 10 seconds, which is decent, but that raw energy with onshore wind makes it a setup more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This is a big, powerful, messy swell for experts only, and even then, it's a gamble. The swell direction is a good match for the optimum NW, but the wind is the spoiler.

So, to sum it up: your best bet is Monday the 27th through to Friday the 31st. The pick of the bunch is Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th for the cleanest, glassiest conditions on a manageable swell. The big stuff at the end of the run is a long-range promise that might not deliver clean waves. Keep your eyes on the sky.

Rusty.
