Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into the forecast for your local patch.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start and a lot of onshore chop to battle through, but there’s some serious size later in the period if you’re ready for it. The first week is pretty grim, but the second week offers a couple of windows that could be worth the wait.

The first decent look is a long way off, so don’t hold your breath just yet. We’ve got some solid swell building, but the wind is a problem for most of it.

The only break on the cards is Easky Right, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but don’t let that fool you—when it gets big, it’s a whole different animal. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Right now, through Monday and Tuesday (20th-21st July), we’ve got tiny waves around 2ft to 3ft with a short period, and the wind is blowing straight onshore from the north. It’s a mess. Combined wave energy is weak (116 to 129), so don’t even bother.

Wednesday and Thursday (22nd-23rd July) aren’t much better. The swell drops off to 2ft-3ft, the period is short, and it’s still cross-onshore or onshore. Energy is dropping into the weak zone (46-103). The surf is poor.

Then things start to get interesting. Friday the 24th sees a jump in swell to 7ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, but the wind is cross-shore at 16 mph. Energy jumps to a moderate 630, but it’s a messy cross-chop. It’s marginal, but it’s the first sign of life.

Saturday the 25th is the big one. The swell hits 10ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1576. That’s strong wave energy. The morning is choppy with cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up slightly with a cross-shore breeze at 9 mph. This is a heavy swell for Easky Right—over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts. It’s powerful, long-period groundswell, and on a reef, that means proper, grinding walls. The crowd factor is “often,” so expect a few other locals out for this one.

Sunday the 26th keeps the size at 10ft, but the wind is back to a nasty cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. The energy is still strong (1623), but the quality is poor.

Monday the 27th drops to 7ft, but it’s still cross-onshore. The wind is lighter in the morning, so it’s a bit cleaner, but still marginal.

The end of July and start of August (28th-31st) is a mixed bag of 3ft to 7ft swell, nearly always with some cross-onshore or cross-shore wind. The energy is moderate to weak. Nothing is clean until the very end.

The standout window is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. The swell is a modest 3ft from the west, but the wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the SW. The notes say “clean.” The energy is weak (140), but with clean conditions and that offshore wind, it will be a fun, lined-up reef wave. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is the best you’ll get.

Following that, Sunday the 2nd picks up to 4ft from the NW with offshore winds from the south. The energy is 171, and the wind is moderate offshore, so it’s clean but a bit more powerful. A solid option for a Sunday session.

Monday the 3rd of August brings a 4ft swell from the north with a 10-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore. The energy jumps to 491 (moderate), and it’s clean. This is a good, solid option, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

The real standout, though, is the Saturday the 25th of July afternoon session. Yes, the wind isn’t perfect, but for a 8ft to 10ft, 10-second groundswell with 1396-1576 combined energy on a reef, that’s the kind of power you don’t miss. It’s a big, expert-only wave, but if you’ve got the skills, that’s the one.

Rusty.
