Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ over the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a slow start, but don’t you worry – once it gets goin’, there’s some serious energy on the way.

For the next couple of days, the swell’s got some size but the wind is a pain in the arse. Saturday morning we’re lookin’ at a 10 ft W swell, but with a 35 km/h cross-off from the WSW it’s messy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 60° and the combined energy is a meaty 2601 – but it’s just not clean. Saturday afternoon cleans up a touch but the wind goes cross-on, not ideal.

Now, Sunday 13th September is when we start seein’ some light. The swell drops back to 5 ft from the NW (11-second period) and the wind swings S at 5 km/h in the morning – glassy offshores, mate. That’s clean as a whistle. Energy reads 686, moderate. Monday 14th keeps the good run with the wind staying offshore (SSE, 20 km/h), and the swell builds back to 5 ft from the W (11-second period) by the arvo – very good surf conditions. That Monday afternoon session is a real highlight.

Tuesday 15th holds up okay in the morning with a 6 ft W swell and clean conditions, but by the arvo the wind cranks NW at 35 km/h and the swell goes lumpy. Not worth paddlin’ out.

Wednesday 16th through Friday 18th September sees the swell pushin’ up into the 8 ft to 13 ft range, but it’s all blown out or cross-shore. Wednesday mornin’ is 8 ft WNW with cross wind, and Thursday afternoon gets up to 13 ft WNW but with a 35 km/h cross breeze – lumpy as hell. This is borderline kite-surfing territory rather than paddle.

The real standout is Monday 21st September. We’re lookin’ at a whopping 18 ft WNW swell with a 13-second period – that’s very long-period groundswell. Combined energy is through the roof at 9815. Wind is SW 20 km/h, cross-off, and it’s clean. This is only for expert surfers – way too big for beginners – and will break best at a reef like Easky Right. Expect clean, powerful lines but long waits between sets.

That Monday will be the best on offer, no question. Tuesday 22nd drops to 10 ft WNW (11-second period) and stays clean, but the magic is gone.

Wednesday 23rd September is another solid call: a 7 ft W swell with offshore winds from the SSE at 20 km/h. Clean and very good conditions, period of 9 seconds – a bit shorter, but still fun.

Thursday 24th holds a 10 ft WNW swell with fresh offshore SSE winds at 30 km/h – big and clean, but again only for the experienced. The energy is strong at 1872.

The last weekend of the month (27th September) looks huge again – 16 ft WNW with a very long 15-second period, energy a massive 10915 – but the wind slams in at 45 km/h cross-shore. That’s just nasty. Leave it alone.

So, to sum it up: Sunday 13th September morning for a clean small day, Monday 14th afternoon for the best of the early week, and Monday 21st September as the absolute standout – huge, clean, and only for the brave. Everything else in between is either too windy or too messy. Keep an eye on that Monday 21st, that’s the one.

Rusty.
