Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's coming our way for East Runton over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's not looking great. We've got a long stretch of poor surf ahead, but there might be a little light at the end of the tunnel.
Right from the start, Saturday the 11th through to at least Sunday the 19th is pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, often under 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is weak, barely hitting triple digits on a few days, but it’s paired with terrible conditions. There’s a notable window on Monday the 20th of July where things finally look surfable. We get a glassy morning with light ESE winds and a 4ft swell from the north with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 189, and it’s the first time in over a week it feels like you could actually paddle out and catch something. It’s not pumping, but it’s clean. The water is 66°, which is about 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, so a spring suit might feel a bit warm.
The best bet in the whole run looks like it could be Monday the 20th. That morning at East Runton, with the glassy conditions and a 4ft north swell, is the standout. The wind is glassy, which is a huge positive, and it’ll be clean. Crowds are listed as sometimes here, so you might see a few other heads bobbing around, but with the forecast being this poor for so long, it shouldn't be too bad.
After that, the surf drops off again quickly. There’s a clean, offshore window on the morning of Friday the 24th of July with a 4ft north swell and a long 9-second period, combined energy of 203, but it's not a standout compared to the Monday. The final weekend, the 26th, shows moderate offshore winds and a 5ft north swell, but it’s two weeks out, so take that with a grain of salt.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a total bust. This is one of those stretches where you might be better off checking the conditions for a kite session than a paddle, as the winds are often strong and cross-shore. Monday the 20th is your day to get wet if you can.
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.

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.
