The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for East Runton is a real tough one. I’ve scanned the charts, and there’s simply nothing doing for the whole period. Not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a flat spell with barely a pulse.
The first few days, from July 27th through to the end of the month, are a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak swell – mostly around 0.7 ft to 3 ft – with a short period, and the wind is all over the shop. The combined swell energy is pitiful, never getting past a 42 (weak energy). It’s a mix of cross-shore and onshore breezes, leaving a cross-chop on the surface. Not surfable.
As we roll into August, it doesn’t get any better. There’s a few mornings of glassy conditions, like the morning of August 2nd when the wind drops to a glassy calm, but the swell is just 2 ft from the east with a period of only 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no power. The combined energy is a measly 21 (weak energy). The rest of the first week of August is more of the same: tiny waves, poor wind, and scores of zero across the board.
The second week offers no hope. The morning of August 6th sees a bump to 3 ft from the ESE, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, and the combined energy is only 65 (weak energy). Even with a clean offshore wind, that’s just a mushy, weak wave – not worth the drive. From August 7th onwards, it’s flat or near-flat, with combined energy readings dropping to single digits or zero. By the 9th, there’s literally no swell at all.
The water temperature anomaly isn’t provided, so I can’t comment on that. But honestly, with no surf, it doesn’t matter.
Look, East Runton is a fairly consistent spot usually, so this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Leave the board in the truck.
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.
