The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the line for Easky Right.
Right now, the forecast is looking pretty grim. That Thursday morning of the 20th August is a write-off, with a gusty 30 mph northerly wind blowing straight onshore and a messy 8 ft swell. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 62°, but that’s cold comfort when the surf is junk. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor conditions that stretches right through until the morning of Sunday the 23rd August.
Sunday 23rd August finally gives us a little breather. The wind goes light and variable, turning cross-offshore in the morning and going glassy in the afternoon. The swell is tiny though, only 2 ft from the NW, so it’s not a standout, just a sign of life. The combined energy is weak (64-68).
Monday 24th August is where it gets interesting. That morning, a clean 6 ft swell from the WNW with a 11-second period rolls in, pushed by a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (732) and the conditions are set to be clean. This is the first real standout of the forecast. The water temp is still around 62°, so a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Just be aware that the afternoon degrades a bit with a 6 ft swell and a marginal rating.
After that, it drops off again, with onshore winds and small surf through the rest of the week. The next serious window doesn’t show up until Friday 28th August. The morning brings a solid, clean 8 ft swell from the NW with an 8-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore, making for some very good surf conditions and moderate energy (833). This is a proper standout for the more experienced crew, as 8 ft is expert territory.
Thursday 3rd September is another standout, but it’s further out. The morning brings a glassy 8 ft swell from the NNW with a moderate 8-second period. The energy is solid (677). This is a very good call for the experts again, but it’s a long-range promise, so don’t book the ferry just yet.
Friday 4th September closes out the run with a clean, offshore 4 ft swell from the NW in the morning, building to a 6 ft cross-offshore swell in the afternoon. The energy is moderate (424-664). Good surf, but not the top pick.
Overall, the best on offer is the Monday 24th August morning session for the clean and solid chest-high waves, and the Friday 28th August morning for the bigger, more powerful stuff. The Thursday 3rd September is a promising long-range call for the experts.
Stay stoked, but keep your wits about you.

Information about the Easky Right Surf forecast

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).
