Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, in imperial. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead for Easky Right, but it’s a mixed bag. The water’s running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus. Let’s get into it.

We kick off on Sunday the 6th of September with a bit of swell on offer, but the wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 19 mph, and the conditions are a bit messy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 655, with a 6ft WSW swell at 10 seconds. It’s not the best start, but there’s some potential.

Monday the 7th sees a jump in size. Morning brings a 8ft W swell with 10-second period, and the wind is a moderate cross-off. The energy is moderate at 1226. The afternoon is similar, with an 8ft W swell and a fresh cross-off. It’s rideable, but the tide might be a factor.

Tuesday the 8th is a write-off. A big 13ft WNW swell hits with a strong cross-shore wind from the WNW at 25 mph, and the energy is strong at 3529. This is heavy, choppy, and messy. For the experienced, it’s a beast, but realistically, it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.

Now, the standout. Wednesday the 9th of September is the pick of the week. Morning is clear with a light WSW breeze at 6 mph, making for a glassy cross-off. The swell is 6ft from the NNW at 10 seconds, with moderate energy at 1005. The conditions are clean, and for a beginner-friendly reef break, this is a beauty. The afternoon drops off a bit, but the morning window is magic.

Thursday the 10th is a step down. A 5ft W swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-off. It’s clean, but not the same energy. Friday the 11th is a bit of a washout with a short-period 6ft WNW swell at 8 seconds and a cross-shore wind. The energy is low at 483.

Saturday the 12th sees a big long-period groundswell arrive. A 10ft WNW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. The energy is strong at 3840. This is a big, powerful swell that will be better suited to a point or reef, but the wind is a problem.

The following week gets interesting. Sunday the 13th brings a 7ft WNW swell at 12 seconds with a gentle SSW cross-off. The energy is moderate at 1121, and it’s clean. Monday the 14th has an 12ft W swell at 11 seconds, with a moderate cross-off, and the energy is strong at 2702. The afternoon sees a 15ft WNW swell at 12 seconds, with a fresh cross-off. This is a big, clean swell, and the energy is very strong at 5297. This is a serious session for experienced surfers.

Tuesday the 15th is a no-go with a strong onshore wind. Wednesday the 16th, however, is another standout. A 15ft WNW swell at 11 seconds, with a gentle SSW breeze. The energy is very strong at 5340, and it’s clean. This is a big, powerful groundswell that will be heavy. For the experts, this is a classic Easky day.

Thursday the 17th has a 10ft NW swell, with a moderate offshore wind from the S at 16 mph. The energy is strong at 1729, and it’s clean. The afternoon has a 7ft W swell with a fresh offshore breeze. The rest of the period fades out, with smaller swells and cross-off winds, but nothing that matches the peaks of the 9th, 14th, and 16th.

So, the best on offer is Wednesday the 9th of September for the best all-round conditions, and Wednesday the 16th of September for the big-wave hunters. This is a classic run of swell for the area.

Rusty.
