Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for East Runton. I’ll be honest with you, mate, this is a grim stretch of the forecast. For the next 16 days there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The water is warm – 65°F – and that’s a whopping 7°F above normal, which is very unusual for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
The surf is tiny and weak. Everything is coming in under 3 ft, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is pitiful, mostly in the single digits or low double digits – for example, the biggest energy reading we see is only 58 (moderate at best) on Monday 13th July afternoon. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-on, and the swell period is short, mostly 4 to 7 seconds, so it’s just weak, wind-blown slop.
There’s a big gap of no surf at all on the 20th July. The whole run is a write-off. This is a beginner break, fairly consistent normally, but right now it’s just not breaking with any quality. It’s the kind of blank run that happens here sometimes. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent onshore winds and small, weak waves. Keep your board in the car and wait for a better window.

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.
