The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day window for East Runton is a tough one. The guidance is showing a blank run for the whole period, so we're looking at a serious stretch of nothing happening. For a spot like this, that's just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but for now, the pattern is locked in.

Right from the start, Friday the 7th of August, we've got a tiny 3 ft swell from the north with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 82, and with a cross-shore wind, it's just messy and poor. That sets the tone.

The next few days are more of the same. Saturday the 8th, the swell drops to 1 ft, and by Sunday the 9th, it's down to 0.7 ft. The energy is next to nothing – just 15 on Saturday and a measly 2 on Sunday. Sure, you get a clean offshore wind on Saturday morning, but there's no wave to ride.

We go through the entire first week, and there's no surf to speak of. The swell bumps up to 4 ft on Wednesday the 12th, but it's a short-period windswell from the east with only 99 energy, and the wind is a fresh cross-shore creating lumpy chop. Monday the 17th is a joke with 25 mph winds and 0.7 ft of swell.

The second week offers a glimmer on Tuesday the 18th of August. We get a 3 ft swell from the northwest with a gentle offshore wind. The energy is a weak 37, but it's clean. However, it's still a poor surf condition and too small to get excited about. After that, it's back to tiny, weak waves and onshore winds.

So, the bottom line: there is no standout session. No wave to recommend. The water temperature is 67°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only positive thing here. If you're a kite surfer, some of those breezier, choppier days might look more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it's a washout. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.

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.
