The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The news for East Runton this fortnight is a bit of a tough one to swallow. From the looks of it, the surf is going to be pretty quiet, with little to nothing on offer.
We kick off with a long, dry spell. From Sunday the 9th of August right through until Saturday the 23rd, the wave heights are just too small to get excited about. You're looking at knee-high dribble at best, with the combined swell energy barely a whisper – often below 30. The wind is going to be a problem too, mostly onshore or cross-shore, mucking up what little ripple there is.
For a beginner-friendly break like East Runton, it needs clean, rideable waves, and we just aren't seeing them. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, which is fine, but there's no swell to go with it. The only tiny blip is around the 17th of August, Monday and Tuesday, when the wind swings cross-offshore out of the WSW, cleaning things right up. But the swell is only at 1 ft, with a combined energy of just 18, so it's barely enough for a longboard – fine for a practise, but not what we'd call a surf.
Stick with it, though. These flat spells don't tend to hang around forever.
Rusty.

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.

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.
