Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Easky Right over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of poor conditions. For the first week, almost every session is rated poorly, so don’t be expecting much. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't pop up until Thursday the 24th of July, and even then it's only marginal. From now until then, it’s mostly small, onshore slop with north winds ruining the line-up. The swell's tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 4 ft, and the wind is just shifty and messy. There’s a significant gap of over a week with no solid recommendations before we get a little glimmer of hope.

The first standout, if you can even call it that, looks like Friday morning, the 24th of July. We've got a bit more size pushing in at 5 ft from the WNW, and the wind is swinging cross-offshore from the WSW. That’s clean. The combined wave energy is at 483 (moderate to strong energy), which tells you there's some grunt in the water, but that 5 ft is bumping right up to the limit for beginners. The period is a middling 10 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but rideable.

For a much better call, you want to hold out for Monday the 27th of July. The morning session is marked as the best on offer with a score reflecting "good surf conditions". The swell settles back a touch to 4 ft from the WNW, but the wind is a killer – a light 9 mph from the SE, giving you clean, cross-offshore conditions. The period drops a bit to 9 seconds, so it's not a groundswell beauty, but it will be hollow enough. The energy is still solid at 227. This is a reef break, exposed to the NW, and it's fairly consistent with the optimum swell direction from the NW showing up. Just keep an eye on that crowd report – it says "often", so expect company out there.

The water temperature is a solid 63°F, but that's 4° above the norm, so it feels much warmer than usual for July. A nice bonus if you're paddling out.

From there, the second week fades again. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th go back to poor, onshore and choppy conditions. The last few days of July see tiny, clean but weak 2 ft waves. They're surfable but ordinary. Basically, you’ve got that Monday the 27th as your one serious target. Plan for that.

Rusty.
