Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
Hey, it’s Rusty. Checkin’ out East Runton for the next couple of weeks, and it’s flat. No real waves to speak of for the full 16 days. East Runton is a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly exposed to the north-northeast, but it’s just not gettin’ any love from the ocean.
We start off Thursday the 9th of July with tiny 1ft swell from the NNE, but a cross-off wind from the SE at 9 mph keeps things clean, even if it’s only 15 weak energy. The water’s a weird story – 65°F with a massive 6°F anomaly, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a head-scratcher, but the surf is poor. Through the rest of this week and into the next, we’re stuck with onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the NE, cranking up to 16 mph. The swell bumps up a bit on Sunday the 12th to 4ft from the NE, but the onshore wind at 16 mph makes it a choppy mess. The combined energy only hits 97 (moderate at best), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s all wind-slop. The following week is more of the same – tiny 2ft to 3ft swells, onshore winds, and poor surf conditions all the way through.
There’s a couple of moments that look *almost* interesting. On Monday the 20th of July, we get a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but with a glassy SW wind at 3 mph in the morning, it’ll be clean. Problem is, the swell period is a pathetic 4 seconds and the energy is only 21 – it’s basically a ripple. Not enough to surf. The same goes for the 24th of July, where the swell bumps back to 3ft from the N with a 6-second period, but it’s still onshore and weak.
For a spot like this that’s fairly consistent, it’s a blank run, but the forecasts can change. Right now, though, I wouldn’t bother waxin’ up. The only real action here might be for the kite surfers when the wind is strong and the swell is poor, because the paddle surfers are gonna be bored stiff.
Rusty.

Information about the East Runton Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for East Runton provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at East Runton can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our East Runton surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (East Runton) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for East Runton may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
