The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it is gonna be a long, tough wait for any real surf. We’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, poor conditions for days on end. The first half of the outlook is pretty much a write-off for paddling.
The only flicker of hope, and I mean a tiny one, shows up way down the line around Monday, August 10th. We finally get some size with a north-northwest swell pushing 6ft at East Runton. The energy jumps up to a moderate 461, so there’s some push behind it, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and disorganised. The cleanest call looks like the Monday afternoon with a moderate offshore wind, which will tidy things up. This is the one to keep an eye on, but we're talking two weeks away, so don't book the day off work just yet. Before that, it’s a total desert.
The water is going to feel weird. On the 26th of July, it was sitting at 66°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual.
For the rest of the run, there’s nothing to recommend. It’s small, weak, and the wind is all over the shop. Honestly, with the swell being so weak and the wind being messy on those mid-period days, it might look more interesting for the kite crew than anyone with a paddle.
Hold tight, check back closer to the 10th of August. The long range might sharpen up.
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.
