Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here, your local surf reporter. Let's break down what's ahead for our coastline.
First thing you'll notice is the water. It's a balmy 66°F, which is a good 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a real anomaly.
Looking at the surf, it's a tough stretch for the next couple of weeks. There's a long dry spell from Saturday, July 11th, all the way through to Friday, July 25th. That's two full weeks of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up whatever small swell tries to build. You'll see some 3ft to 4ft waves from the NE and NNE, but the wind just chops them to bits.
Finally, on Saturday afternoon, July 25th, we get a small window. The spot to check is East Runton. It's a beginner-friendly break that breaks fairly consistently. The swell is 4ft from the NNW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is looking moderate at 113. The big win here is the wind: a light, 3 mph breeze from the WSW blowing cross-offshore. That'll keep the surface glassy. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is the best we've got. It might be a little crowded as it can be a popular spot, but it's the only real option. It's not a day for the history books, but it'll get you wet.
After that, Sunday the 26th has tiny, clean waves, but nothing worth a drive. So if you're desperate, that Saturday afternoon is your moment.
Rusty, out.

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.
