The Lowdown

Right then, let’s take a look at what’s on offer for East Runton over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the foreseeable future. The forecast is showing a long stretch of nothing really worth getting in the water for. The small windows of cleaner conditions are just too small to do anything with. The combined wave energy is weak, with values rarely cracking the 100 mark, and often sitting in the single digits or low tens. It’s just not happening.

The pattern kicks off with a bit of a mess. Wednesday the 9th has some swell around 7 ft from the NNW, but with a gusty cross-on wind of 25 mph, it’s blown out and messy. That’s not surfable for a paddle. By Thursday morning the 10th, the wind shifts offshore from the SSW, but the swell drops right off to a tiny 2 ft from the north, with a period of just 6 seconds. The energy is a paltry 40 (weak). It’s clean, but there’s no power. The water temp is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.

From there, it’s a long, dry spell. The swell stays tiny – mostly under 2 ft – all the way through to the 21st of September. The winds are a mixed bag of offshore, cross-off, and cross-shore, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The combined energy stays below 30 for days on end. It’s clean at times, sure, but a lake is clean too. You’d be better off leaving the boards at home.

The only faint glimmer is around the 22nd and 24th of September, where the swell picks up slightly to 3 ft from the east and WNW. The energy gets up to around 43-44 (still weak), but the wind is cross-on or cross-shore, so it’s going to be choppy and lumpy. Not a stand-out, not by a long shot.

So, the bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For East Runton, this kind of blank run can happen, but it doesn’t tend to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, the call is a hard pass.

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.
