Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Easky Right has on offer over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a frustrating start. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch with almost nothing to get excited about for the first week and a half. The water’s sitting at 60°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only comfort. From Friday the 10th right through to late on the 21st of July, it’s a write-off. Strong northerly winds, messy conditions, and tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is barely a whisper, sitting in the double digits for most of that time – there’s just no power in the water. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.

There’s a glimmer on Tuesday the 14th morning where the swell bumps up a bit to 2.3ft from the west with a 10-second period and moderate energy (117), but the winds are cross-shore and light. It’s still labelled poor, so it’s not worth the drive.

Then things get a bit more interesting. On Wednesday the 22nd of July, the swell finally kicks up. We’ve got 7.2ft from the west-northwest, with a combined energy reading of 559 – that’s proper moderate energy now. The problem is the wind is cross-shore, which will chop it up. It’s a marginal call at best, and only for experienced surfers given the size. Thursday the 23rd morning brings a real highlight: glassy conditions with offshore light airs, and a clean 4.3ft west-northwest swell. The energy is solid at 255, and the period is 8 seconds. This is the best wave quality we see in the whole run, but it won’t be big.

Now, the standout. Friday the 24th of July morning is the one to circle. We’ve got 6.9ft of west swell, a 10-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze coming from the southeast. The combined energy is a massive 850 – strong wave energy. This is proper groundswell, and on a reef like Easky Right, that long period will produce some beautifully lined-up waves. It’s going to be a touch big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is your session. The afternoon turns even bigger at 7.5ft with a 13-second period and energy jumping to 1867 – very strong. But with those long-period groundswells at a point break, you’ll get those long lulls between sets, making the paddle out easier. Saturday the 25th keeps the energy going with offshore winds and 5.2-6.9ft swell, but it’s a bit windier, so it won’t be as clean.

So, if you’re patient, the real magic happens on Thursday 23rd morning for the cleanest conditions, and Friday 24th for the biggest, most powerful swell. Don’t bother before then.
