Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Looks like a tough run ahead for East Runton. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t kick in until Sunday the 12th, so we’re looking at a dry spell of a few days before that. Up until then it’s just tiny, choppy dribble – not worth paddling for.
The first pulse of energy arrives on Sunday the 12th. We’ll see a windswell bumping up to 4ft to 5ft from the NE, with a period of only 6 seconds. That’s short-period stuff, and combined swell energy is moderate (101 to 118). The problem is it’s onshore – a moderate to fresh breeze from the NNE and NE. It’s going to be rough and messy. Not a pretty picture. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a whopping 6°F above normal – very unusual for this time of year, but won’t help the wave quality.
Monday the 13th stays similar: 4ft to 4ft of short-period NE swell (129 to 105 energy), still onshore. The wind is a bit lighter, but it’s still on the nose. This is still a no-go.
We get a slight reprieve on Thursday the 23rd. The wind finally swings offshore from the WSW, giving us clean conditions. The swell is tiny though – only 1ft from the NE, with a period of 5 seconds and very weak energy (6). It’s rideable for a beginner on a foamie if you’re desperate, but there’s no power.
There’s no standout day in this entire 16-day window. The best I can say is that the onshore winds on the 12th and 13th might offer some lumpy, blown-out waves for those who just want to get wet. For a proper surf, you’re out of luck. Given the break is fairly exposed, a setup like this usually looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session.
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.

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.
