The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for East Runton over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I'll be honest with you – it's a pretty quiet run for the most part. We've got a long stretch here with very little happening on the wave front. From Thursday the 6th right through until the middle of the week starting the 17th, the surf is flat to tiny, and the conditions are just not playing ball. You'll see small, weak swells and a lot of cross and onshore winds messing things up. Not worth paddling out for.
The only real flicker of interest comes in the second week, on Tuesday the 18th of August. There's a pulse of north swell pushing in at 6ft, with a moderate energy reading of 355. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it's going to be a bit lumpy and disorganised. This is a bigger swell, definitely one for the experienced crew only, and it's going to be blown out by a fresh cross-shore breeze in the afternoon. The morning session with a light cross-shore wind would be your best bet, but that's about the peak of what we've got to work with here.
After that, Wednesday the 19th morning sees a moderate offshore breeze from the south, with 3ft of swell. It's clean, but the energy (119) is only moderate, and the conditions are described as very ordinary. It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
So, there you have it. A long, blank run followed by a couple of days that are just about worth a look for the avid surfer. Keep an eye on the forecasts, as things can change.

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.
