Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this stretch of coast. It’s not going to be a week of endless glory, but there are a couple of moments that’ll make it worth paddling out.

The first bit of the outlook is a bit of a slow starter. We’ve got some swell on the way, but the wind is a messy cross-off or cross-onshore, and the wave quality is just not there. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th have some waist-to-chest high swell around 6 ft to 7 ft, but it’s from the WNW with a short period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (930 to 558), but with that moderate breeze it’s not going to be clean enough to get excited about. You’ll be scratching your head wondering where the good waves are.

Wednesday the 29th morning is a glimmer of hope. The swell drops to 4 ft from the west, period is still short at 8 seconds, but the wind swings offshore from the SSW at 9 mph. That’s going to clean things right up, and the combined energy is still respectable at 240. It’s a small wave, but for a beginner-friendly reef like Easky Right, it’ll be gentle and fun. That afternoon, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops, so make the most of the morning.

After that, we hit a real dry spell. From Thursday the 30th right through to the morning of Sunday the 11th of August, the swell is small, the wind is all over the place, and the combined energy drops to weak values (85 to 48). There are a few flashes of offshore wind here and there, but the swell is just too weak to bother with. It’s a long gap of nearly a week and a half where you’re better off waxing the board and waiting.

Now, the standout. Hold onto your leash. Saturday the 8th of August morning is the real deal. The swell builds to 8 ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a solid wave, and with a combined energy of 1194, there’s plenty of power in the water. The wind is glassy—dead calm from the SW at only 3 mph. That’s a rare treat. For Easky Right, a reef break, this is prime. The swell direction is NW in the optimum, and we’re getting WNW, which is close enough. This is a proper expert session, though; 8 ft is not for beginners. The period is moderate, not super long, so the sets will have shape and won’t be too straight. This is the best on offer in the whole 16 days. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Sunday the 9th of August still has size, 8 ft to 8 ft, but the wind is cross and cross-onshore, chopping it up. The energy is still strong, but it’s not as clean. Monday the 10th sees a strong breeze from the NW at 22 mph, so that’s a write-off. The swell is 10 ft in the morning, but with that wind, it’s a mess. Probably better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, to wrap it up: Wednesday the 29th morning for a small, clean beginner-friendly session, and Saturday the 8th of August morning for the big, glassy, expert-level stand-out. The rest of the run is a waiting game.

Rusty.
