Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Easky Right has lined up.

It’s a slow-burn start. The first week offers small swells and tricky wind, but there’s a small bump in energy later on. The water here is reading 17°, which is just a touch warmer than normal for the season.

From Sunday the 16th and into Monday, we’ve got small 1.0ft to 1ft waves from the west. They’re short-period (8 secs), with southwest winds creating cross-offshore conditions. The energy is weak to moderate (138 to 158). It’s technically rideable, but it’s all very average.

On Tuesday the 18th, the swell picks up to 2ft from the west in the morning, with moderate energy (416). The cross-offshore WSW wind might keep it tidy, but the read says it’s marginal. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and the 3ft swell gets lumpy (990). Not a good call.

The real highlight comes on Wednesday the 19th – the morning window. Swell hits 3ft from the west-northwest, with a 11-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. Wind is WSW at 19 mph, cross-offshore, and the energy is pumping at 2296. This is heavy, expert territory. The break should be clean and powerful. This is the best session on the menu, but it’s short-lived as the wind shifts.

From Thursday the 20th, it goes sour. Strong north winds blow onshore, dropping the swell from 3ft down to nothing over the following days. The rest of that week and the start of the next (23rd-24th) sees a lull with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft waves, weak and choppy. Not worth a paddle.

There is a flicker of hope on Thursday the 27th of August afternoon. We get a 2ft swell from the west with light southeast cross-offshore winds. Conditions are clean and the read is "good surf". But the period is short at 6 seconds.

The last few days of August and the 1st of September are a write-off. Strong to near-gale westerly winds, big blown-out swell (up to 3ft on the 28th), and messy conditions. The 30th and 31st are particularly rough with strong cross-onshore winds.

So, the only session to really lock in is Wednesday 19th August morning – a big, clean, expert-only groundswell. The backup is Thursday 27th August afternoon for cleaner, smaller waves. A whole lot of waiting for the rest.

Rusty.
