Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn to start. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions or flat spells ahead. From Wednesday afternoon the 26th right through to the end of August, it’s all pretty grim. Tiny swell, wrong wind directions, and a lot of chop. You’re not missing much. The water is sitting at 62°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice, but it doesn’t help the waves.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. Easky Right (Easky) is the only break on the cards. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the swell. On Sunday morning, we’re looking at a clean 3 ft swell from the NNW, with a light offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is moderate (167). It’s not big, but it’s clean. That’s your first real chance to get wet.

Then we get a bit of a tease on Monday the 31st. The swell picks up, with a clean 4 ft from the west in the morning, and the energy jumps to 381. By the afternoon, we’re up to 5 ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, and energy at 486. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s rideable, but don’t expect perfection. It’s still a marginal call.

The first real standout is shaping up for Friday the 4th of September. This is the one to circle. The morning brings a clean 6 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 822. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be glassy. That’s a very good session on offer. The afternoon stays clean, with a 5 ft swell from the same direction, and a moderate offshore wind. This is the best of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 5th keeps the momentum going. The morning is clean again, with a 4 ft swell from the WNW, period of 11 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind. Energy is 501. It’s a bit smaller than Friday, but still excellent conditions. The afternoon turns a bit more marginal, so hit it early.

Sunday the 6th of September isn’t a write-off either. The morning has a gentle offshore wind and a 3 ft swell from the WNW, giving you clean, small waves. Energy is 223. The afternoon picks up to 4 ft, still clean, with energy at 331. It’s good, not great.

After that, things get messy again. From Monday the 7th, we get onshore winds and a lot of chop. The swell does get big – over 7 ft – but the wind is blowing straight onshore, so it’s a washing machine. Not for the faint-hearted. Into the second week, the forecasts are promising but less certain. The standout remains Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September.

Easky Right is a reef, so that long-period groundswell on the 4th will hold up nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but with 6 ft swell, it’s more of a challenge for the less experienced. The crowds around here can be "often", so expect some company, especially on a clean Friday.

Rusty, signing off.
