The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s going on up the coast.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a bit of a write-off for East Runton. There’s genuinely nothing worth paddling out for. The whole forecast period is a flat, choppy mess with scores that just don’t stack up. We’re talking a solid stretch from now until the 10th of August where the swell is tiny, under 2ft, with short, weak periods, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, making it lumpy and messy. It’s a real bummer.

The one faint glimmer pops up on the morning of Tuesday, the 11th of August. We get a bump in energy to 5ft from the NNW, with a combined swell energy of 225 (moderate wave energy). The wind is offshore from the W, swinging to cross-off, so it’ll be clean. But even then, the period is only 7 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, not the good stuff. It’s a little too big for beginners at that size, and the quality just isn’t there for a standout. The rest of the week after that drops back down to knee-high mush.

Honestly, for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rare blank run. It’s one of those times where you’d be better off checking the forecasts later, because it can’t stay this poor forever.

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. If you surf the same spot (East Runton) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
