Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what East Runton’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak picture for us. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, and honestly, there’s not a single session I’d be rushing out the door for. We’ve got a massive gap of poor conditions right from the start, all the way through. The first proper chance at anything doesn’t come until Sunday the 12th of July, and even then, it’s a mess.
The pick of a very bad bunch is Sunday morning the 12th of July. We’ll see some swell bump up to about 4ft, coming from the NE with a combined energy of 128 – so there’s some push behind it. But don’t get too excited. The wind is hammering straight onshore from the NE at 15 mph, killing any hope of a clean wave. That kind of height with that wind is gonna be a washing machine. It’s bordering on too big for beginners at that size, but with that wind, it won’t be much fun for anyone on a paddle board. If you’ve got a kite, this might look a bit more interesting.
Other than that, there’s a glimmer on Tuesday the 21st of July morning. The wind goes glassy from the South at just 3 mph. That’s a beautiful thing to see. But the swell is a tiny 2ft from the North with a period of 5 seconds and combined energy of just 13 – that’s weak, weak energy. It’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be fighting for barely anything to ride. A longboard might get you a few grovelly slides, but it’s not really surf.
Really, the rest of the period is just onshore junk or tiny dribble. We’ve got a lot of days with cross-onshore and choppy conditions, and even when the swell does show a pulse, the wind ruins it. The water temp doesn’t have an anomaly noted in the data, so I’d say it’s pretty average for the time of year. Not much to get excited about, but as I always say, it tends not to stay this poor forever. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board in the van.
Rusty.

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.

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.
