Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what we’ve got for Easky Right over the next couple of weeks. And I’ll be straight with you – it’s not much to get excited about. The first week is a write-off, with a few glimmers of hope around that second Sunday.

The opening days, from Thursday 30th July through to Saturday 1st August, are a total bust. That WNW swell is weak, around the 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is a messy cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is low, barely cracking 300 at best. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for the time of year at 16°, but that’s about the only good news. It’s just poor out there.

We hit the first possible window on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning is where it’s at. A glassy surface with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph – that’s clean. The swell is a small 3ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is up to 231 – moderate, but for this spot it’s the best we see in a long time. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break that’s fairly consistent, but the direction is coming from the NW, which is its optimum, so that helps. The afternoon goes a bit cross-onshore and drops to “marginal.”

The following week is patchy. Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th see tiny, poor-condition waves. Wednesday 5th is even smaller, and from the 6th to the 10th of August, the swell just falls off a cliff – we’re talking 1.0ft to 2ft, with energy dropping below 100. The wind is clean for much of that stretch, but there’s simply no power to ride.

We get another small pulse on Sunday 9th August morning. An offshore wind from the SSW at 9 mph makes for clean conditions, and the swell is 3ft from the NW. It’s surfable but very ordinary – a 1 out of 10 call from the data.

A larger, but messier, swell arrives on Wednesday 12th August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW, period of 7 seconds, with combined energy at 217 (moderate). But it’s a cross-onshore wind at 16 mph from the WNW, making it choppy. That’s a tough paddle and a bumpy ride, only for the determined. Not a standout.

After that, from the 13th to the 14th, it fades right back down to nothing.

So here’s the takeaway: If you’re desperate for a wave, the standout is Sunday 2nd August morning. That glassy, clean 3ft NW swell at Easky Right is the best on offer, and it’s a beginner-friendly setup. After that, it’s a long, quiet run until maybe the 12th for the bigger, messier stuff, or the 9th for a clean but tiny session. Don’t hold your breath; the forecasts can change, but this stretch is a slow one.

Rusty.
