Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Easky Right. We’ve got a classic reef set-up here that’s exposed to the swell and needs a bit of patience at times. The water’s running at about 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might feel a bit more forgiving.

The first few days are a write-off, honest. Wednesday the 2nd kicks off with messy rain showers and a cross-off wind that’s not doing us any favours with a weak 3ft swell. The energy is pathetic, just 117. Not worth paddling out. That continues into Thursday the 3rd – still marginal, though the afternoon does see a bump up to 6ft from the west, but it’s a short 8-second period and the wind is cross-off. Not clean enough. The combined energy jumps to 661, but with mod rain and questionable tide, I’m not convinced.

Then, hold onto your boardies. Friday the 4th morning brings a huge pulse: 16ft from the WNW at 12 seconds. That’s a lot of power – a combined energy of 7442. But the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-off, which will turn it into a washing machine. Only for the proper nutters on big boards, and even then, it’s marginal. The afternoon gets worse with cross-shore wind. Saturday the 5th is the standout window. The swell drops to a still-chunky 7ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, and the wind swings to a gentle cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph. The energy is a solid 1044. That’s the best of the first week – clean, punchy, and a proper reef wave for experienced surfers. Look out for the crowd though, this spot can get often busy.

Sunday the 6th sees the energy fall off fast with a fresh offshore wind but only 3ft swell. Not worth it. The rest of the first week into the second is a mess of strong cross-off winds and lumpy conditions, with another big spike on Tuesday the 8th – 18ft at 12 seconds – but the cross-shore wind rips it apart. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for paddling.

Moving into the second week, the outlook gets quieter but cleaner. Wednesday the 16th offers a glassy morning with 4ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, and a combined energy of just 189. It’s small and ordinary, but the glassy conditions make it a fun little wave for a longboard. The afternoon improves to 4ft, still glassy, with a touch more energy at 241. Not a standout, but a nice way to finish the forecast window. Thursday the 17th morning has an offshore breeze with 3ft, but the afternoon sees a long-period groundswell of 13 seconds from the south at a tiny 2ft. That’s 216 of energy, but it’s so small it’ll be a dribbler.

The real standout of the whole 16 days is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. That 7ft WNW swell with clean cross-off winds and solid energy is the one to circle. The other notable is the glassy runs on Wednesday the 16th, if you’re after a relaxed, uncrowded session. Overall, it’s a patchy run with a couple of decent windows, but don’t expect a long run of perfect waves.
