Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here. Looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you—it’s a grim stretch for East Runton. We’ve got a long run of junk ahead, so don’t be in a rush to wax your board.
First off, the water is sitting at 63°F right now, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s really unusual—feels more like a swimming pool than the North Sea. But that’s about the only thing that’s got any heat.
We’re staring down a big gap of nothing. From today, Thursday the 2nd, all the way through to the early hours of Tuesday the 7th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell energy is either non-existent or weak, with readings in the single digits and forties (0 to 45). The wind is mostly a mess of cross-shore and cross-off breezes, and the wave quality is rated as poor. There’s a tiny window on Friday the 3rd afternoon when the wind goes glassy and a little 3ft swell from the N shows up, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 127—that’s moderate, not enough to get excited about. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are a bust with tiny, weak swells. Monday the 6th? Forget it. We’re looking at waves under 2ft with energy in the single digits. You’d be better off watching the tide come in.
There’s a slight pickup around Thursday the 9th, then Friday the 10th brings a 3ft to 4ft swell from the N, but the period is a shocking 4 to 5 seconds. That’s windswell junk, and with an onshore/cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be choppy and messy.
Honestly, the only flicker of hope comes on Friday the 17th of July. Morning session shows a 4ft swell from the NNW with a gentle offshore wind from the SSW. That’s clean. The combined energy climbs to 69 (still weak to moderate), but for this spot, that’s the best we get. By the afternoon, the wind swings cross-off from the SW and the swell energy hits 108 (moderate). Still a 4ft wave from the N with a 6-second period, so it won’t have much punch, but it’ll be the cleanest of the whole run.
Forget the rest. It’s a long, flat, choppy wait until that Friday the 17th. If you’re determined, that’s your window. Otherwise, pick up a kite—this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of these days.
Stay patient.

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.
