Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Right off the bat, things are pretty flat and average for the next week or so. The first decent chance you’ll get is on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. There’s a small 4ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a period around 7 seconds, so not a lot of power behind it, just a weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is only 105 (weak), so it’s not gonna blow your socks off. What makes it interesting is the wind – it’s glassy, a slight air from the NNE. That means the surface will be clean, and for a beginner-friendly reef like this, it’s a good window for a gentle paddle. The water temp is 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

After that, things get messy. The morning of Sunday the 30th has a bit more size at 5ft from the N but the wind swings onshore, so it’s not great. Then we hit a bit of a dry spell with poor conditions until we get into the first week of September.

The standout window really kicks off on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning session sees a solid 6ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, pushing a combined energy of 792 (moderate). The wind is light offshore from the S, giving you gentle offshore and clean conditions. This is the best of the bunch for a regular surfer – the wave shape will be good, and the reef will handle that long-period groundswell nicely. Keep an eye on the crowds, because on a day like this with good conditions, Easky Right can get busy.

Then on Thursday the 3rd of September, we get a proper pulse. It’s big – 13ft from the W with a 12-second period. That’s over 8ft, so this one is for experts only. The combined energy is massive at 5036 (very strong). The wind is cross-off from the SW, so the face will be clean, but that size means it’s only for the experienced crew. If you’re a beginner, stay well clear.

Friday the 4th of September is still hefty, with a 12ft swell from the WNW and an 11-second period, combined energy 2580. Wind is cross-off again from the WSW, so the shape will hold, but again, big and powerful. The period is long enough that it’ll be best on a reef like this, not a beach break.

After that, things drop off quickly. The weekend of the 5th and 6th sees the swell fading and the wind turning cross-onshore, so the quality goes. There’s a small window on the morning of Sunday the 6th with a 5ft swell from the W and offshore S winds, but it’s a drop in consistency compared to the midweek pulse.

The rest of the forecast into the second week is mostly blown out or too small. The morning of the 7th has a long-period 12-second swell from the N, but only 2ft and the wind is howling from the WSW at 22 mph. Not worth rushing out for.

So, bottom line: the best on offer is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September for a clean, solid session. If you’re an expert, the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September is the big one, but it’s a beast. For the rest of the run, you’re waiting for a clean-up.

Rusty.
