The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for East Runton. Straight up, the next ten days or so are a total write-off. We’re talking flat, gutless, and messy. From Tuesday the 28th of July through to Monday the 10th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is all over the shop. It’s a long, dry spell.
Right at the tail end of the forecast, we finally get a flicker of life. On Tuesday the 11th of August, there’s a bit of a pulse. The morning session is where it’s at. It’s not going to be classic, but the swell will be a very modest 4ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 105, so it’s got some push but nothing to write home about. The real kicker is the wind – a gentle offshore from the southwest. That’s going to make for clean, lined-up waves, even if they are small. This is a beginner-friendly size, so it’s a good chance for a splash. The afternoon sees the swell nudge up to 5ft, but the wind swings cross-offshore and the score drops away.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year. Nothing unusual to report.
So, the only standout window in this whole 16-day outlook is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. It’s not a bomb, but it’s the only real chance for a surf. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because things might improve, but right now, it’s a long wait for a small taste.
Rusty.
