The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. Look, I've stared at the charts for this stretch, and I gotta be straight with you: it's a tough 16-day run for East Runton. We're looking at a long, dry spell where the surf just isn't showing up for us. The first real chance we get to even see a wave that’s worth talking about doesn't roll in until Wednesday the 9th, and even then, it's a bit of a mess.
From now until then, we're stuck with tiny, weak dribble. The swell energy is mostly in the single digits, with a few days pushing into the low teens, but the wave heights are barely a ripple. It’s close to a flat spell, honestly.
Let's jump ahead to Wednesday the 9th. We get a pulse of swell that's 6 ft from the NW, but the devil's in the details. The period is a short, weak 6 seconds, the wind is howling from the NW at 25 mph, and it's blowing straight across the beach. The energy reading hits 236, which is moderate, but that onshore wind is going to tear it up into a choppy, cross-chop mess. You won't want a surfboard for this; keep an eye on the kites if you're into that. The afternoon cleans up a bit with NNW wind, but it's still cross-onshore and lumpy.
From Thursday the 10th through the rest of the run, it's back to the tiny stuff. The swell tanks, dropping to 2 ft and below. The energy drops right back down. We do see some periods get interesting – like on the Monday the 14th, we get a very long period of 14 seconds from the north, but with a tiny 0.3 ft swell, it's just a ghost. The same goes for Tuesday the 15th and into the following week; a few longer period signals pop up (12, 11, 18 seconds), but with next to no height. The water's sitting at a warm 66°, which is a lot warmer than usual for this time of year, adds a bit of comfort to the flat spell I guess.
The standout, if I had to pick one, is Wednesday the 9th. It’s the only day with any real push, with that 6 ft NW swell, even if the wind screws it. For a more realistic look, the morning of Thursday the 10th offers a tiny 2 ft with clean, cross-offshore wind. It's not going to be memorable, but if you're desperate for a few small, clean rollers, that's your best bet. Everything else is just a flat, glassy pond with a bit of wind. There's just nothing on offer for the long haul.
Rusty.

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.
