Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for this stretch. It’s a bit of a slow cooker, so don’t be in a rush.

The first real sniff of action we get is on Wednesday the 10th of September. The swell is already running a bit raw, but the wind is making it a chore. We’ve got a 5ft to 5ft swell from the W, with 10 seconds between pulses. The combined energy is moderate (322-578). The wind on Thursday morning is a fresh 22 mph offshore from the S, which will groom the face, but that’s a lot of breeze. It’s ridable but messy.

Friday the 11th keeps things ticking with 6ft from the WNW. The period drops to 8-9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period, choppier affair. The energy is still moderate (434-817), but the cross-off wind from the WSW at 9 mph keeps the surface clean. It’s more of a grovel than a gem.

Now, Saturday the 12th is where things get heavy. We’ve got a 10ft swell from the WNW, with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is strong (3030). But here’s the thing – this is a reef break, and that long-period energy might make it a bit straight, especially with a cross-on wind from the NW at 19 mph in the arvo. Saturday morning is cleaner with a cross-off, but the size and shape will be challenging. This is expert territory.

Sunday the 13th is a real standout. The swell drops to a manageable 6ft from the WNW, period at 11 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the S at 6 to 9 mph. The combined energy is still solid (852). Expect clean, lined-up waves. This is the best on offer in the first week. A good session for anyone who can handle a reef.

Monday the 14th is a bit of a comedown. Swell drops to 4ft in the morning from the W. The wind is gentle offshore, so it’s clean but lacking push. The afternoon picks up to 6ft with a cross-off. It’s grovelly.

There’s a quiet patch from here. Tuesday and Wednesday (16th) are marginal, with onshore slop. The real standout is Wednesday the 16th afternoon. We get a 10ft swell from the NW, period drops back to 8 seconds, so it’s short-period, but we have a moderate 12 mph offshore from the SSW. The energy is strong (1090). The combination of size and offshore wind makes this a serious, heavy, and clean wave. Experts only.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are not worth the paddle. Small and messy. But Saturday the 19th has a fresh offshore from the S at 19 mph, but the swell is only 4ft. Clean but weak.

The next true standout doesn’t pop up until Wednesday the 23rd of September. This is a long-range promise, so take it with a grain of salt, but the numbers look wild. We’ve got a solid 13ft swell from the WNW, period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (4095). The wind is light and cross-off from the SE at 6 mph. This is huge, clean, and lined up for the reef, but at 13ft, it is strictly for the big-wave crew and expert paddlers. The morning and afternoon both look excellent. If you’re on that level, circle this date.

Overall, Sunday the 13th is your pick for the first week – clean, solid, and approachable. For the second week, Wednesday the 23rd is the one for the big-wave specialists, though it’s still a ways off and the forecast could shift. The water temp here is running about average for the time of year.

Rusty.
