Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right, folks, Rusty here, looking at the local surf. It's been a bit quiet around here, and honestly, the next couple of weeks look pretty poor for getting a decent wave in.
The forecast starts off on Friday, July 3rd, with a few tiny, poor-quality waves. We're looking at a weak 3ft to 3ft swell from the north-northwest, but it's just not doing anything for East Runton. The energy is weak (combined energy of all swells directed here at 72 to 88). Friday afternoon is the closest we get to something surfable, with the wind going glassy, but the waves are still very ordinary.
After that, we hit a long, dry spell. From Saturday, July 4th, right through to Saturday, July 18th, the swell barely gets a pulse. Most days the combined energy of all swells directed here is under 40, and it rarely goes over 100. The winds are a mess too – strong cross-offshores, cross-onshores, and choppy conditions keep the surf poor.
Then, finally, a flicker of hope. Saturday morning, July 18th, could offer something. We've got a 7ft swell from the north-northeast, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here jumps to 420, which is moderate energy. And the wind is a gentle breeze from the west, which is cross-offshore, so the surf should be clean. That 7ft is a bit much for beginners, so this one is for the experienced crew only.
But, I've got to be straight with you. Between now and then, there's a full fourteen days of flat or poor surf. That’s a long gap. There are no standouts here; Saturday the 18th is the only one that even gets a "2" score, and it's a long way off. Keep an eye on the forecast, because around here, things can change, but for now, it's a case of patience, Rusty out.

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.
