The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk straight, folks. This is Rusty, and the outlook for East Runton for the next 16 days is about as flat as a pancake. Starting from July 25th, we're looking at a long stretch of poor surf. Nothing is on offer, and I mean nothing.
The first week is a total bust. Waves are tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and the periods are short. The wind is all over the place, but it doesn't matter because the swell is too weak to do anything with. Even the glassy morning on Tuesday, July 28th, with a 0.5m swell from the north and a 9-second period, just didn't have the juice. The wave energy is weak (40), and the conditions are just plain poor.
The second week doesn't get any better. There's a little bump on Monday, August 3rd, with a 4-foot easterly swell, but it's a short period (6 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore, creating a choppy mess. The energy is moderate (89), but it's not a clean wave. The rest of the week is more of the same: small, weak, and messy.
The tail end of the forecast, around August 7th and 8th, has a small 2-foot swell from the NNW, but it's still weak (36). Not worth the drive.
For the next 16 days, this setup looks more interesting for kitesurfing than paddle surfing. The beach and the wind patterns on some days will be better for that. There's just no surf to be had.

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.
