The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the charts for East Runton.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn't show up until Wednesday the 9th, but even then, it’s blown out. The water is a weird 66° right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s one thing going for us, but it won't help the waves.
The standout weekend is a long way off, but it’s the only thing worth circling on the calendar. The best bet for the whole 16-day window is looking like Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th. On Thursday afternoon, we’ve got a moderate swell bump at East Runton with a 4ft wave coming from the NW, with moderate energy (104). The wind is blowing directly onshore from the NNE at 9 mph, which is going to trash it. It’s a beginner-friendly break and fairly consistent, but the onshore wind will make it messy.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, that Thursday the 17th might be your window. For paddle surfing, it’s a tough call. The swell is there, but the quality is poor. The rest of the week after that flattens right back out to nothing. There’s a huge gap of flat, poor conditions from now until the 9th, and then another gap after the 10th until the 17th. It’s not a great run.
Rusty.

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.
