The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks at Easky Right are a mixed bag, and there’s a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. We’ve got some solid swell on the way, but the wind is going to be the main player in how good it actually gets.
Right out of the gate, Wednesday the 5th is a write-off. There’s plenty of size – 10ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon – but that fresh cross-onshore breeze is going to chop it all up. Not worth getting wet for that.
We get a breather on Thursday the 6th with some clean conditions, but the swell drops right out to a dribbly 3ft. It’s frustrating because it’s glassy, but there’s just nothing to push you along. Friday the 7th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell builds a touch through the day, hitting 7ft by the afternoon out of the WNW (moderate wave energy at 990) with a clean cross-off wind from the WSW. That’s a solid combo and the first real chance at something fun.
The weekend takes a slight step back. Saturday the 8th is smaller with a cross-shore wind that’ll put some chop on it. Sunday the 9th looks better, a decent 8ft on the morning surf with clean conditions. The energy is moderate to strong (1226 in the morning) and the WNW swell should hold some push. That’s a standout.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are a tale of two days. Monday’s smaller and choppy, but Tuesday the 11th is a real surprise. The swell is only 3ft, but it’s a clean, light southeast wind with a longer 10-second period. The energy is still weak (349), but the conditions are described as “good.” It’ll be small, but if you’ve got a longboard, that’s a fun, clean option. That’s the call for the pick of the week.
The middle of the next week sees a bit of a lull. Wednesday the 12th is tiny, and while Thursday the 13th brings a big jump in size – up to 10ft in the afternoon – it’s onshore and fairly choppy. Not great. Friday the 14th is a proper gem: the morning is glassy with 6ft of clean WNW swell. That’s another standout, but remember the water temp is about average for this time of year. This is a reef break, so the clean conditions really matter here. It’s fairly consistent, but expect some crowds as it’s often busy.
The weekend of the 16th and 17th is a no-go. The swell collapses and the wind swings onshore and gets fresh. It’s rough, lumpy, and tiny. Nothing there.
The final run into the 19th and 20th is poor. There’s a touch of swell early on, but the cross-onshore winds ruin it. By the end of the week, it’s dribbling out. The energy is weak, and the conditions are just messy. You’d have to be pretty desperate to be out there.
So, if you’re picking your moments, it’s all about Sunday the 9th and that glassy Friday morning on the 14th. For a cleaner, smaller session, Tuesday the 11th is your call. Everything else – well, you might be better off doing something else.
Cheers, Rusty.

Information about the Easky Right Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Easky Right provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Easky Right can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Easky Right may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
