Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s on the cards for Easky Right over the next couple of weeks. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 61°, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

We’ve got a mixed bag coming up, but there are a couple of rippers on the horizon. The early part of the week is a bit of a scrap, with messy, big, and blown-out conditions on Monday and Tuesday. Monday morning sees a 8ft west swell, but it’s crossed off by a 16 mph southwesterly, making it a bit of a battle. The wave energy is strong at 1272, but the quality is poor. Tuesday is a write-off for paddle surfing – 13ft of WNW swell with 25 mph cross-on winds, energy pumping over 2900, and it’s rough and ragged. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for someone with a kite than a surfboard.

Wednesday morning the 9th of September brings a reprieve. The swell drops to 5ft from the north, the wind goes light and cross-off, and the energy sits at 850. It’s clean and rideable, but not a standout. By Thursday the 10th, we get a decent morning: 6ft from the west, light offshore south wind, energy at 512, and clean conditions. It’s a solid, fun little session.

The first real standout comes on Saturday the 12th of September morning. The swell jumps to 10ft from the west-northwest, with a very long period of 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is massive at 3450. A fresh 19 mph offshore from the south-southwest will groom it nicely. This is one for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft, and the long period will make it wall up fast. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle that energy well, but it’s often crowded here, so expect company.

The week after that is quieter, with bits and pieces of waist to head-high swell. Keep an eye on Tuesday the 15th of September afternoon – 12ft of WNW swell with a 12-second period, light cross-off wind, and clean faces. The energy is 3163, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a solid option.

The true highlight, though, is the weekend of the 19th and 20th of September. Saturday the 19th has 12ft west swell, 11-12 second period, with a moderate offshore south wind. Energy is over 2800, and the conditions are clean and lined up. It’s excellent for experienced surfers, and the moderate offshore wind will keep the faces smooth. Expect crowds, as it’s a popular spot.

Sunday the 20th morning is still firing: 8ft from the west-northwest, 11-second period, light cross-off wind, and energy at 1615. It’s a touch smaller, but still excellent for experienced surfers and cleaner than the afternoon.

So, if you’re keen, the standout is Saturday the 12th of September morning for the pure power, and Saturday the 19th of September for the best combo of size and clean offshore wind. The rest of the fortnight is a mix of average and messy, but those two windows are the ones to circle.

Rusty.
