The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at this run. From the 8th of September right through to the 23rd, it’s a total write-off for East Runton. Not a single session in the whole 16 days gets a thumbs up. The rating is a flat zero the whole way through. That’s a long, dry gap from start to finish.
On the 8th, we’ve got next to nothing – 0.3ft of north swell with a short 7-8 second interval, barely any energy (1). The wind is a fresh 19 mph out of the southwest in the morning, which is offshore, but there’s no wave to surf. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to report.
The 9th brings a bump – 5ft swell from the NNW, 8-second period, and energy climbs to 354 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore from the NW at 16 mph, and it’s still marked as poor. It might look like it’s breaking, but it won’t be clean.
After that, it’s tiny dribble – 0.3ft to 2ft, mostly short period, with occasional offshore breezes but no real power. The 18th of September gives us the biggest energy of the period at 107 (moderate) with 4ft of NNW swell and a 6-second period, but the wind is light cross-onshore. Still poor.
For a break that’s good for beginners, this is a grim stretch. It’s normal here to have these dead runs, and forecasts can shift, but right now there’s nothing worth paddling out for. No standout, no session. Just a flat spell.
Keep the wax dry,
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.
