Alright, let’s look at the same picture but in feet and miles per hour.
First thing: the forecast is rough for East Runton for a good long stretch. That Tuesday morning start is a tiny 2ft from the NNW, with a 5 second period and a weak 13 combined swell energy. Wind’s cross-off, so the surface might look clean, but it’s just not enough. The next week is a write-off: tiny leftover waves, barely a ripple, and winds often onshore or cross-shore with chop. Water temp is pretty average for this time of year. Honestly, for the first week, it’s a long walk for a short drink of water.
Come Sunday the 12th, we finally get a pulse. Swell hits 4ft from the NE, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, so it’ll be a messy close-out. Wind is onshore at 15–18 mph, which makes for choppy conditions. Not worth the wet suit.
Now, Monday the 13th is the one time that stands out, even with flaws. Swell jumps to 5ft from the NNE, with a 6 second period. Combined energy hits 175 (strong wave energy). That’s real power for this spot. The catch? Wind is onshore at 15 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy. At 5ft, this is not for beginners—it’s for experienced surfers only. This is the best of a bleak outlook, the true standout.
The second week drifts back to mediocrity. There’s another bump on Saturday the 18th, with 3ft–4ft (NNE to N) and a period improving to 8 seconds (proper groundswell). Energy is in the 147–161 range, healthy. But winds stay cross-shore and cross-on, so expect textured faces.
The very end of the outlook, Tuesday the 21st, offers a 2ft from the NNE with a 8 second period and a nice cross-off wind from the WSW. Clean glassy conditions, but the size is tiny. A consolation prize.
Best Bet: Monday the 13th. 5ft, NNE swell, 6 seconds, strong 175 energy. Wind is onshore, so it will be rough, but it’s the most power we see. For experienced paddlers only.
No other spot to talk about.
