The Lowdown
We’ve got a real dry stretch to start, folks. Nothing but flat, gutless surf until Monday the 28th. Those tiny 0.2m to 0.7m wobbles from the north are junk, and even the glassy mornings are just empty. You’ll be sitting there staring at a lake, so don’t bother.
Then Monday the 28th finally fires up at East Runton. We’re seeing 5ft from the NNE in the morning, easing to 4-5ft by the afternoon. The energy’s running 300, then 280—that’s solid, meaty surf for this spot. It’s a windswell with a 8-second period, so it’ll be a bit fat and crumbly, but there’s genuine push behind it. Wind’s onshore from the NE at 15-16 mph, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but the direction is spot on from the NNE—exactly what this break wants. After over a week of nothing, this is the one.
Tuesday the 29th eases back—4ft from the east, energy dropping to around 123–143, and the wind goes cross-on from the NE. It’s still surfable, but the quality drops, and that onshore flow will chop it up.
Water’s sitting at a warm 65°F, which is nearly 4°F above normal for now. That’s a proper anomaly, so you can get away with a thinner suit.
Monday’s your day. Get on it.

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.
