The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Truth is, it's a pretty grim stretch for a wave. We're looking at a long dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off. There's a bit of swell on the charts, but the conditions are just rubbish – cross-on winds, short periods, and just generally poor surf quality. The first decent bit of energy comes in on the 22nd of July, with a 4ft swell from the N, but that's got a 7-second period and a cross-on wind, so it's going to be a choppy mess. The water is running at 65° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a weird one, but it doesn't help the waves.
We get a little spike in energy on the 27th of July (Monday) with a 5ft from the NNW and a 6-second period, combined energy of 119 (moderate), but again, it's cross-shore winds and not clean. The only real mention of glassy conditions is on the 28th of July (Tuesday afternoon) when the wind drops to a glassy S at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a 6-second period. You'd be bobbing around on a lake.
After that, it just fades into nothing. Tiny 0.3ft to 2ft swells with short periods and fresh winds in the first week of August. It's one of those blank runs that's pretty normal for East Runton when the setup just isn't there. Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the board in the car.
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.
