Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checking in on Easky Right over the next couple of weeks. It’s a real rollercoaster, but there are some fantastic days if you know where to look.

Right off the bat, Thursday and Friday are a wash for paddle surfing. You’ve got a 5ft to 6ft swell on Thursday, but the wind is a mess from the SW, making it all cross-off and choppy. Friday morning, the swell goes completely nuts – we’re talking a massive 16ft from the WNW with a 13-second period, and the energy reading is a massive 7757 (moderate to strong). That’s a serious, serious groundswell. But the wind is howling from the WSW at 25 mph, a strong cross-off. That’s expert-only, and honestly, with that much wind, it’s dangerous. The afternoon is a lumpy cross-shore mess.

Now, Saturday morning (September 5th) is where it starts to look good. The swell drops to a manageable 7ft from the WNW, period of 10 seconds, with a moderate energy of 1061. And the wind? It’s a gentle offshore breeze from the south. That’s clean, lined-up reef surf. For an experienced surfer on a reef, this is the standout of the first week. The size is solid, the direction is perfect, and the offshore wind will have the waves peeling beautifully. Expect a crowd when it’s this good.

The rest of that first week and into the second is a frustrating stretch. Sunday and Monday have some surf, but the wind is either too strong or the conditions are marginal. The energy drops right off.

We hit a real dry spell from about Monday the 8th through to Saturday the 13th. The wind is all over the place – cross-shore, cross-on – and it’s messy. The swell is there, but the quality is gone. It’s a solid 5-6 day gap of poor to marginal conditions.

Then, just when you think it’s all over, the second week brings a phenomenal late-season swell. Look at Monday the 14th of September. Beautiful, clear skies, a light offshore breeze from the south, and a solid 7ft groundswell from the west with an 11-second period. The energy is 1171 (moderate). That’s a proper clean, powerful session. But the real gem is Monday afternoon. It goes glassy – no wind at all – with an 8ft swell from the WNW and a 12-second period. The energy jumps to 2732. That is a world-class afternoon at Easky Right. The waves will be big, clean, and hollow. This is the absolute standout of the whole forecast. It’s a reef, so the long period will hold up well, but it’s big enough for the experts only.

Tuesday the 15th is also excellent, with a 10ft swell from the NW and a light offshore breeze. Another day for the experienced crew. The energy is strong at 1998. The water is about average for the time of year.

Wednesday the 16th still has a good 6ft wave from the north with a very long 13-second period, but the wind is light offshore, so it’ll be clean. The energy is still strong at 1670. The morning is the pick.

After that, the wind turns onshore from the NE through Thursday and Friday, and the conditions go backwards. The swell holds, but the wind just kills it.

So, in short: the first week has a killer Saturday morning (5th) for the crew. The second week is where the real gold is, with Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th offering the best waves of the entire 16-day window. The long-range stuff like that Monday is a bit of a promise, but the signs are strong.

Rusty.
