Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here, and it’s time to talk shop. The outlook for Easky Right over the next couple of weeks is a proper test of patience, with a slow start and a few windows of opportunity if you play it right.

Right off the bat, Friday the 7th is a no-go. We got a big 2.4m WNW swell, but the winds are a messy cross-off and the energy is all over the place at 1163. It’s just junky, and not worth the effort.

The first real chance comes Saturday the 8th in the morning. The swell is still a solid 6ft from the WNW, but we’ve got a clean southerly offshore wind. That’s going to make it glassy and lined up. It’s not huge, but it’s got power. This is your first window. The afternoon won’t be as good, so get it while you can.

Sunday the 9th is a complete loss with northwest winds putting on a cross-on chop and dropping the swell to around 5ft. Don't even bother.

Monday the 10th is small but glassy in the morning. The swell is down to 3ft and the wind is dead. It’s longboard territory. The energy reading of 262 is weak, so it’s not going to be a classic. The afternoon gets a bit weird with a cross-shore wind and a short-period north swell.

From Tuesday the 11th to Wednesday the 12th, it goes almost flat. We’re talking knee-high slop with energy readings in the low 100s. Not worth getting wet.

Thursday the 13th brings a little 5ft pulse from the west, but the winds are just not clean, so it’s still a pass.

Then we enter a long, grim stretch. From Friday the 14th through Tuesday the 19th, expect onshore winds and choppy, poor waves. There are a few pulses in there – around 5ft on the 16th and 6ft on the 19th – but northwesterly winds will wreck them. The exception is the afternoon of Saturday the 16th. The forecast shows 6ft of W swell with light cross-off winds and an energy reading of 547. It should be clean and have some good shape. That’s a standout afternoon if the wind plays ball. After that, it’s back to the grind until the 19th.

But the real gem is Thursday the 20th. The morning has a clean 4ft W swell with light offshore winds, and the afternoon goes glassy. The energy is a moderate 361 and 346, which is a nice, solid push. This is the pick of the entire run. It’s going to be clean, groomed, and the reef should be working perfectly. This is your day.

Friday the 21st has similar fun waves at 4ft with light winds, and the morning looks clean again. Then it fades out on the 22nd to small, weak surf.

So, to sum it up: the early week is a wash, with a sneaky good session Saturday morning. Circle the afternoon of the 16th and, above all, Thursday the 20th as the best on offer. Long-range looks promising, but that's just the way it goes. Water temp is reading 61°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season. That’s a bonus. Keep an eye on those winds and be ready.

This is Rusty, signing off.
