The Lowdown
Alright, so we’ve got a pretty bleak stretch ahead at East Runton. There’s no real surf on the table for the next 16 days. The first time it even looks like you could get wet with a chance of a wave is Tuesday, September 22nd. Even then, it’s not a classic.
For the next week and a half, it’s all junk. Wave heights are tiny, from about 0.3 ft to 2 ft, mostly out of the north with real short periods. The energy is weak, with combined values from 0 up to 16. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and it’s just small, weak and choppy. On Wednesday the 16th, there’s a 7 ft swell from the NNW with moderate energy (540 combined), but it’s got a cross wind and a short period of 8 seconds. It’s too big for beginners and the wind ruins it.
The single highlight is Tuesday morning the 22nd. That’s when you get a wave height of about 6 ft from the NNW, period of 8 seconds, with moderate energy (392 combined). The wind is cross-off from the west at 9 mph, so it’s clean. But it’s a short-period swell at a beach break, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and more suited for a kite than a paddle. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
So, if you’re keen, Tuesday the 22nd morning is your only real look, but it’s not a standout. The rest of the time? You’re better off staying on the beach. That’s a normal dry spell for this spot.

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.

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.
