Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a honest look at what’s on the cards for Easky Right.

First thing’s first – the water is sitting at about 62°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until the morning of Sunday, 28th July. It’s not a classic, mind you. We’re looking at a 6ft west swell with a short 8-second period, so the waves will be a bit lumpy and lack that real punch. The wind is a cross-off from the SW, so it’ll be clean enough, but the energy is just moderate (499). The surf is marginal, but you might snag a few grovelly ones. The afternoon is similar, just a little smaller.

Monday the 29th drops right off. The swell gets smaller and the wind turns cross-on, making for poor conditions. Honestly, stay at home. Tuesday the 30th is a write-off too – strong cross-onshore winds and a choppy 7ft swell. Not worth it.

We’ve got a long stretch of average to poor surf until we hit the morning of Sunday, 2nd August. That morning brings a bit of relief with a light ESE cross-off breeze and a 4ft NW swell. The energy is weak (143), and the waves are small and ordinary, but at least it’s clean. Still, don’t get your hopes up.

The real highlight, and the only one I’d circle, is the afternoon of Tuesday, 4th August. This is where things get interesting. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the NW, with strong energy (1107). The wind is a cross-off from the SW, so the surface should be clean. That’s a proper day for a reef break like Easky Right, but hear me out – 10ft is big, and with a short 8-second period, it’s going to be powerful and walled up. This is for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the beach. The morning of Wednesday the 5th is even bigger, with an 12ft swell and a longer 10-second period, and the energy is massive (2538). That’s a serious, heavy groundswell. The wind is still cross-off from the SW, so it’ll be clean, but this is a beast of a day. The long period means it’ll be a bit more organised, but it’s going to be a handful.

Later in the week, the afternoon of Saturday, 8th August, looks promising from an energy standpoint. A 7ft west swell with a long 11-second period hits, and the energy is strong (1109). However, the wind is onshore from the NNE, which will ruin the surface. It’s a shame because the swell has real potential.

After that, the second week fades out. The last few days are small, weak, and mostly blown out. The morning of the 12th of August shows a tiny 1ft swell with almost no energy (30). The pattern just fizzles.

So, to sum it up: the standout is the afternoon of Tuesday, 4th August for the big, clean, powerful swell, but it’s for experts only. The morning of Wednesday the 5th is even bigger, but also only for the brave. Don’t bother with the rest of the first week. The second week has a few pulses but the wind is against us.

Rusty.
