The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Here’s the imperial version for you land-lovers who think in feet.
Straight up: don’t bother waxing up for East Runton. This 16-day outlook is a washout. Every single entry in the forecast is "poor surf conditions" – the finder has zero recommendations. It’s a proper grim stretch.
Wave energy is pathetic. For the first week, the combined energy numbers are all under 100 – most under 50. That’s basically flat to tiny windswell. The swell heights are between 0.7ft and 3ft, with short periods (4 to 10 seconds). The water temp is 67°F, which is about 5°F warmer than the average for this time of year – that’s a notable anomaly, but it’s not gonna help the waves.
Friday the 7th kicks off with a cross-shore chop, no fun. Saturday the 8th morning is your only real shot at clean, with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft – not enough to ride. From Sunday through Tuesday, it’s all side-shore slop or choppy. Wednesday the 13th morning is glassy but still only 3ft waves with a 5-second period – no juice.
The second week is even worse until the tail end. From the 14th to the 21st, it’s tiny waves, onshore winds, and combined energy in the teens and twenties. Saturday the 22nd finally shows a pulse: 3ft waves with an 8-9 second period, and energy jumps to 116 and 136, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Still not good.
No breakout session here. No standout. The only "positive" is that crowds will be zero because nobody in their right mind will paddle out. This is just a dead run – normal for this stretch of coast when the high pressure parks overhead. Don’t expect much from the forecast, but hey, things can always change.

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.
