Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up: the next two weeks at Easky Right look pretty average to bleak for the most part. There’s a little pulse of size mid-week, but the wind is going to give you grief. We start with a stuck period of poor conditions, then a glimmer of something bigger, then a long flat spell. Only a couple of sessions are worth even thinking about.

Right now, Saturday 15 August morning is the first surf on offer, but it’s nothing flash. We’ve got a 4 ft swell out of the WNW, period a short 8 seconds. The energy’s moderate at 209, but that cross-shore wind from the WNW at 9 mph is making it messy. The water’s 62°—a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice, but the waves are marginal. This is more of a paddle-and-see session than a proper session.

Sunday 16 August afternoon sees a small improvement. Swell drops to 3 ft from the west, period short at 7 seconds, energy down to 150, but we get a proper offshore wind from the SSW at 9 mph, cleaning things up. It’s surfable but ordinary—small, weak, not much grunt. If you’re desperate, go for it.

Now here’s the standout—and I mean the only one worth getting excited about. Wednesday 19 August. Morning has a 7 ft swell from the west, 9-second period, energy strong at 716. That’s a solid west groundswell. The wind is cross-off from the west at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean but a bit breezy. The afternoon is even better in size: 8 ft from the WNW, 9-second period, energy climbing to 998—that’s some serious push. Same cross-off wind, clean. This is expert territory—8 ft is no joke. If you’ve got the skill, Wednesday afternoon at Easky Right is your window. The WNW direction aligns perfectly with the optimum swell direction for this reef.

After that, Thursday 20 August through Tuesday 25 August is a write-off. Onshore winds, dropped swell, poor conditions. The 26th and 27th go flat—1 ft rubbish, barely a ripple. Then we have a gap of a few days where there’s nothing worth recommending until the very end.

Sunday 30 August morning gives a surprise: 5 ft from the NW, 7-second period, energy 277—moderate. But it’s cross-shore from the west at 9 mph, creating a bit of chop, and it’s marginal again. After that, the afternoon is even smaller. It’s a tease, but not a session I’d plan around.

So bottom line: keep your eyes on Wednesday 19 August. That’s the one. Everything else is small, messy, or blown out. Easky Right is fairly consistent, so this is a rough patch, but it won’t last forever.

Rusty.
