The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it's a pretty slow period overall. We've got a big gap of nothing right now that stretches for about ten days, all the way through the end of July and into early August. No point paddling out yet.
The first chance of any sort of wave shows up on Thursday, August 7th. The morning has clean conditions with a strong offshore breeze. The swell is small at 4ft from the NNW, but it's got a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The energy is low (53). The afternoon is similar with a lighter 3ft N swell, but still clean offshore wind. It's really just a window for a quick, desperate dip.
The only true standout in this whole forecast is Saturday morning, August 8th. That's the one we're aiming for. East Runton should be looking clean with a 3ft N swell, and a much better 8-second period giving the waves a little more shape and punch. The wind is light and offshore, so you're looking at glassy conditions. Combined energy is moderate (82), so there's actually a bit of push behind it. This is easily your best shot for a decent session. It might get a bit of a crowd though, so plan accordingly.
After that, it pretty much dries up again. The long-range call for the 8th is worth keeping an eye on, but remember it's a ways off. Play it from the beach for now.
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.
