Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Alright, so we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the cards for Easky Right. The first solid window of surfable conditions doesn't fire up until the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September, with some actual clean waves. But before that, it’s flat or ugly. The pattern is a bit chaotic, with a couple of serious late-winter swells rolling through, but they’re marred by strong winds. The standout looks to be the Saturday morning of the 12th of September, with a real gem right at the end of the outlook on the 19th and 20th.

We kick off on Saturday, September 5th. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-off SW wind at 13 mph, but the swell is a solid 8 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The wave energy is strong (1260), but the conditions are described as marginal. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The afternoon cleans up nicely though – 7 ft WNW swell, 9 mph offshore southerly wind, and the water is clean. Not a classic, but a decent start.

Sunday the 6th is a write-off, with 25 mph offshore winds that will make it a battle to get out. The swell drops to 3 ft. Rough.

Monday the 7th looks gnarly, but not in a good way. A big 10 ft to 12 ft WNW swell with a 10-second period hits, but it’s hammered by strong cross-off winds. The wave energy is huge (1837 and 3082), but the wind is cross-off at 22 mph, making it lumpy. This is more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle session.

Tuesday the 8th is a write-off, with a massive 16 ft to 13 ft WNW swell and 22 mph cross-shore winds. The combined energy is mental (6165 and 3860), but it’s a total mess. Not for paddling.

The rest of the week from the 9th to the 11th is poor to marginal, with strong winds and lumpy cross-chop. The swell hangs around 5 ft to 10 ft, but the wind is just not playing ball.

Now, the real standout. Saturday, September 12th. The morning has a 7 ft WNW swell with a nice 11-second period, combined with a 13 mph offshore southerly wind. The water is clean, the energy is moderate (1158), and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one. The swell direction is a touch west of the optimum NW, but the offshore wind and solid size make it a winner. Crowds are likely at Easky Right, so get in early.

Sunday the 13th drops off, with small, weak swell and onshore winds. Not worth it.

The next glimmer is Monday the 14th. A small 3 ft groundswell from the WNW, with a very long 13-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. The water is clean, but the energy is low (306). Unless you’re on a log, it’s a bit small.

The 15th and 16th are poor, with onshore and cross-shore winds.

Now, look ahead to the end of the outlook. Saturday, September 19th, looks promising. The morning is glassy – 3 mph southeast wind, dead calm, with a 6 ft WNW swell. The wave energy is moderate (544). This is a great call for a clean, smooth session. The 20th of September has a solid 6 ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, and a light offshore SSE wind in the morning. Clean waves on both days. These are the ones to target if you can wait.

So, the best on offer is Saturday morning the 12th for the experienced crew, and the glassy dawn patrols on the 19th and 20th of September. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
