Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this straight from the start. The forecast period runs from today, July 28th, right through to August 12th, but honest to goodness, the first couple of days are a tough sell. There’s a glimmer of hope mid-week, and the real standout session is sitting on Sunday, August 2nd. But let’s be real: the run from about August 5th onwards is a dead zone for any worthwhile wave.

We’re looking at Easky Right, a reef break that’s exposed and picks up the best swell from the NW. For a beginner-friendly spot, it’s got a decent reputation, but the wind and swell aren’t playing nice for a lot of this window.

The whole period starts off messy. Tuesday, July 28th, you’ve got a 6 ft swell from the west with a short, weak 8-second period, and the wind is a cross-off at 12 mph. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. The combined energy is moderate (462), but the conditions are just marginal. It’s a ‘meh’ start.

Wednesday, July 29th, drops a notch. The swell backs off to 4 ft from the WNW, same weak period, and the wind goes cross-shore. Energy drops to 270. It’s still not clean enough to get excited about.

Thursday, July 30th, is a write-off. The wind swings cross-on, chopping up a 4 ft north swell. The energy is up at 474, but it’s all windblown and ugly. No good.

Friday, July 31st, the wind turns cross-off, but the swell is dropping to 5 ft with a very short 7-second period from the west. The energy is 278, but it’s just a weak, bumpy mess. Keep your board on the beach.

Saturday, August 1st, looks like a no-go. The swell jumps to 7 ft from the WNW, period is still 8 seconds, but the wind is hard cross-shore at 16 mph. The energy is 462, but with that wind, it’s just a choppy, cross-chop nightmare.

Now, here’s the one to circle. Sunday, August 2nd, is the standout. The morning session is the pick of the whole 16 days. You’ve got a 4 ft swell from the NW, a 8-second period, but the wind is light and cross-off from the WSW at only 6 mph. The energy is 250, moderate, but the conditions are clean. The forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions,” and for a break like this, that’s rare this far out. It’s not a big swell, but it’s clean, and the tide should be right. This is the one. Crowds are often here, so get there early.

From Monday, August 3rd, it’s a slow bleed. The swell drops to 3 ft, the wind is light cross, and the energy is down to 137. It’s small and weak. The rest of the week is a total loss. Tuesday, August 4th, through to Sunday, August 11th, the swell is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-on, and the energy barely breaks 100. By the second week, from August 5th onward, the combined energy sinks to double digits, like 67 on the 5th, 54 on the 6th, and 22 on the 11th. It’s practically flat. The water temp is still average, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no wave to ride.

So, the verdict: the only real window is Sunday, August 2nd, morning. That’s your best bet. The rest of the run is a quiet period for the area. It’s not unusual for this spot to have a flat spell, so don’t lose hope. Forecasts can always change, but right now, that Sunday is the one to chase.

Rusty.
