The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, this is a tough one to call. The entire 16-day window for East Runton is a write-off. There's simply nothing worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is a string of poor surf conditions, so I'll just take you through it so you know what we're dealing with.

Starting off on Tuesday the 14th, we’ve got a weak 4 ft swell from the NNE, but it’s destroyed by a 16 mph onshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – a very unusual spike. But that doesn't matter much when the surf is junk.

Through the rest of the week and into the next, it's the same story. The swell never really gets its act together. We do see a boost in combined energy on the 19th and 20th, hitting 373 (moderate energy) and 162 (moderate energy) respectively, with a 6 ft swell from the north on the 19th. But every single time, the wind is cross-onshore, churning it up into a lumpy, choppy mess. That bigger swell on the 19th is over 5 ft, but with the wind and short period, it’s not surfable for anyone.

The whole second week is a total dud. Swell heights drop below 2 ft from the 24th onwards, and the wind stays messy. There’s a brief moment of clean conditions on the 27th, but with a swell of just 0.3 ft, there’s nothing to ride. By the 28th and 29th, we’re looking at flat, glassy conditions. It’s a complete blank run.

I hate to say it, but this is one of those times where the forecast is a dead loss. The only thing that might be worth a look is if you’re into kite surfing, because with that strong onshore wind and the bigger, poor-quality surf on the 18th and 19th, the setup would be more interesting for a kite than a paddle.

Stay patient, gang. The forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.

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.
