Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what East Runton has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough run. For the next week at least, the wave energy is just too weak to do anything with. The first week is pretty much a write-off, with tiny, weak mushy waves and bumpy wind. We're looking at a solid gap before anything even starts to show potential.
Around Sunday the 12th of July, the energy starts to pick up a little, with combined swell energy hitting 115, but it's all onshore wind and the period is a short 6 seconds. It's poor surf conditions all the way. Things get a bit more interesting from Monday the 13th into Tuesday the 14th of July, when a pulse of swell arrives. We're looking at surf heights of 5ft to 6ft (coming from the NNE) with the combined energy climbing up as high as 219. But here's the problem: it's all blown out by strong onshore winds straight out of the NNE. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it's just gonna be a lumpy, messy wall of closeout whitewater. That's more of a kiteboarding show than a surf session, to be honest. This setup is really only for experts if they're desperate, and even then it's gonna be a battle.
Later in the second week, from around Thursday the 16th of July through the weekend, the swell drops back down to around 3ft, but we finally see a shift. On Sunday the 19th of July morning, we get a light breeze out of the north at 6 mph with 3ft of north swell which at least cleans it up a touch, but the energy is still pretty moderate at 74. It's still a far cry from good. Nothing across this whole 16-day window is a standout.
Water temps at East Runton are sitting at 18°, which is a whopping 3° warmer than average for this time of year – that's very unusual for these parts.
So, I hate to say it, but there are no good surf options in this whole 16-day window. The forecast can always change for the better, but as it stands, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
