Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Looking at East Runton over the next 16 days, and sorry to say, it’s mostly a washout. The water’s running at about 65°F, which is much warmer than usual for July, so that’s nice for a swim, but not for surfing.
We’ve got a big dry spell at the start. From Tuesday the 7th through Saturday the 11th, the swell is barely ankle-high, with periods as short as 3 seconds. Combined energy is under 15 – just wind bumps. Don’t bother. That’s a 5-day gap of nothing.
Sunday the 12th sees the swell bump up to about 4ft from the NE, but with a fresh 19 mph onshore wind, it’s choppy and ugly. The combined energy hits 124 – moderate – but the conditions are poor. Monday the 13th is the biggest of the run: 4ft to 5ft from the NNE, period around 7 seconds, and combined energy up to 170 (moderate-strong). But again, straight onshore wind at 12-16 mph. It’s blown out, not fun.
The rest of the week drops off – 3ft or less, weak energy, cross-onshore winds. Thursday the 16th has a light breeze and 4ft swell, but the energy is low (55) and the wind’s still not ideal.
The only clean days are Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st, with offshore SSW winds. But the swell is tiny – 1ft and 1ft – with combined energy of 12-14. That’s flat, even if it’s glassy.
So, no real standouts. The best shot is Monday the 13th, but it’s blown. This is a long stretch of poor surf for East Runton. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a “stay home” kind of outlook.
Rusty out.

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.
