Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Easky Right has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty quiet start. The first few days are a write-off, with only small, weak, and messy waves on offer. Friday afternoon the 14th kicks things off with a weak 3ft W swell, but that cross-on wind has it all chopped up. Saturday the 15th isn’t any better – a bit more size at 4ft, but the wind is all wrong. It’s a bit of a frustrating start for anyone keen for a paddle.

We finally get a bit of a window on Sunday the 16th. The morning is still a bit ordinary, but the afternoon shows some real promise. We’ve got a 4ft W swell and a clean cross-off breeze, which is exactly what you want for this reef. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 62°, so that’s a nice bonus. The combined energy is moderate (221), and it’s the first real sign of life. If you can get out there Sunday arvo, you’ll be in for some fun, clean waves.

Monday the 17th is a bit of a mixed bag – clean conditions again, but the swell is dropping and we’ve got light rain. Nothing to write home about.

Then, things get interesting. Tuesday the 18th sees a serious jump in size. We’re talking 8ft to 10ft WNW swell, with very strong energy readings (1397 and 2370). The wind is clean, cross-off, but this is big and powerful. The period is 10 to 11 seconds, so it’s got some punch. This is definitely one for the experts only – it’s going to be solid and the tide could mess with it. If you’re not confident in big surf, sit this one out.

Wednesday the 19th is a no-go. That 10ft swell is still there, but the wind has swung onshore, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are small and onshore again. The whole second half of the week is pretty much a dud.

The following week starts off flat. Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th have tiny waves, barely a ripple. We’ve got a gap of a few days with no real surf to speak of.

But then, there’s a glimmer of hope. Tuesday the 25th of August looks like our next standout. We’ve got a solid 5ft W swell, with a nice long period of 11 seconds, and clean cross-off conditions. The combined energy is moderate (499). This is a proper groundswell, and for a reef like Easky Right, that’s the perfect recipe. The morning will be the pick – clean, lined up, and with a bit of power. The afternoon is a little less clean, but still fun.

After that, we’re back to small, ordinary conditions for the rest of the window. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th have some small, clean waves, but nothing to get too excited about. The final weekend (the 28th and 29th) is just messy onshore slop.

So, to sum it up: the first real standout is Sunday afternoon the 16th for a fun, clean session. The biggest highlight, and the one to really circle, is Tuesday morning the 25th of August, with a solid, long-period groundswell and clean conditions. The big stuff on the 18th is for experts only. There’s a long gap of flatness in between, but it’s worth hanging in there for that Tuesday.

Stay safe, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
