The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Looking at the whole 16-day window for East Runton, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a real flat spell. There's next to nothing on offer for the first week and a half. The first time we see any energy that's even worth a mention is on Thursday, the 23rd of July, and even then, it's a marginal call.
The water temp is sitting at about 65°F, which is a fair bit warmer than usual for the time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
For the first week, from the 15th right through to the 22nd, it’s just a write-off. We’ve got tiny swell with poor conditions and onshore winds. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Thursday the 23rd. We’ll see a 4ft swell from the north with a 7-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is only moderate (157), so it’s not powerful, but it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The break is a fairly exposed beginner spot, so with the swell just over 3ft, it’s fine for learners, but there’s nothing to get excited about. Crowds are possible there.
After that, it drops off again. The rest of the 23rd and all days through to the 30th of July are back to tiny, weak, and poor conditions. The morning of the 26th does have a fresh offshore wind from the south, but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s a non-starter.
Honestly, there’s no real highlight here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 23rd morning is your best and only shot. Otherwise, it’s a long, blank run. The area just goes flat for long stretches, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.
