Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the forecast from the Easky Right area.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. For the first week, it’s a tough slog. There’s a whole lot of nothing happening from the 19th right through until the 24th of July. We’re looking at weak, short-period windswell – mostly around 2ft to 4ft – with a period of just 6 to 10 seconds, and the wind is blowing straight onshore or cross. The water temp is 64°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a treat, but the surf is just poor. The combined swell energy is barely cracking 100 (139), so it’s weak. That’s a solid 5-day gap of poor conditions.

Now, we start to see a change on Friday the 24th. The swell picks up to 5ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 378 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore, creating a cross-chop. It’s not clean, but it’s a step up. Still, not what I’d call a standout.

The real action starts to rumble on Saturday the 25th of July. The swell jumps to 8ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy is strong (1492). But the wind is still cross-shore – a fresh breeze – making it lumpy. It’s borderline for experts, and the rating says marginal. Not the best, but the size is there.

Hold on to your board for the real standout. That’s Monday the 27th of July. We get a 8ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period. The energy is very strong (1104). But the magic is the wind – it’s light and offshore from the S. That is going to clean up the Easky Right reef beautifully. The wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and at 8ft, that’s expert territory. The 10-second period is solid groundswell. This is your best window.

The next day, Tuesday the 28th of July, is also a standout. The swell hits 10ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, which is very long, so sets will be widely spaced. The energy is enormous (3760). Morning looks best with a moderate offshore from the SSW, keeping it clean. Again, that’s strictly for the experienced crew. Things get a bit messy in the afternoon.

After that, the 29th of July still has a solid 7ft swell with a clean offshore wind in the morning, making for very good surf. But the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon, and it gets poor. From the 30th into the first week of August, the wind is howling and the swell is either too big and messy or dropping back down to small, weak conditions.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Your best bet, the absolute standout, is Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July. Early morning sessions on both days will be the cleanest. The crowd at Easky Right is often there, so with this quality, expect company. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle the long-period swell well.

Rusty, signing off.
