Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Easky Right, a reef break that’s fairly consistent. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but don’t let that fool you – it can get good. The water’s sittin’ at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 62°, so that’s a nice little bonus.

The first window of surf shows up on Sunday, the 16th of August, with clean, knee-high waves around 3ft and a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is only 109, so it’s weak. Winds are offshore from the SSE though, so it’ll be glassy and clean despite the small size. Not a standout, but a fun little sesh if you’re keen.

Monday the 17th offers similar 3ft swell with a cross-off breeze from the SSW, keeping things clean. Again, small and weak. On Tuesday the 18th, the swell picks up to 6ft in the morning with cross-off winds, and the energy climbs to 480 – moderate now. That’s a step up, but by Tuesday afternoon it jumps to 10ft with a longer 11-second period and a cross-shore wind. That’s big for Easky Right and more for the experienced crew, but the wind’s not doing it any favours.

Wednesday the 19th sees waves around 11ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and a cross-off breeze in the morning. The energy is strong at 2254, but the conditions are marginal. By the afternoon, the cross-shore wind kicks in and makes it lumpy.

Then we hit a big gap. From Thursday the 20th right through to Thursday the 27th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions – mostly onshore winds from the north, tiny swell, and weak energy. Nothing worth paddling out for. That’s over a week of flatness.

But here’s the standout: Friday the 28th of August, things turn around. A clean 7ft swell in the morning with cross-off winds from the SW, and the combined energy hits 1108 – strong. By the afternoon, it pumps up to 11ft with a very long 12-second period from the W, and the energy jumps to 3680. That’s proper groundswell. Winds stay cross-off and clean. This is the best on offer – a solid, powerful, clean session for those who can handle it. Reef breaks love that long-period as it brings in lined-up, walling waves.

After that, Saturday the 29th is huge – 13ft swell with a 11-second period – but the cross-shore wind makes it messy and lumpy, so it’s more of a challenge than a classic. Sunday the 30th drops to 8ft with clean cross-off winds but it’s still a bit rough.

The last real good look is Monday the 31st of August: a clean 6ft swell from the W with a 9-second period and a gentle cross-off breeze. The energy is 864 – moderate but solid. It’s a much cleaner, more manageable option after the chaos of the weekend. If you want a wave that’s not trying to kill you, that’s your pick.

Overall, the standout is Friday the 28th afternoon for the crew who can handle a solid, clean 11ft groundswell. For the rest of us, Monday the 31st morning is the go.
