Hey, Rusty here again, with the same outlook but in proper, human-sized numbers.
Right, look, East Runton is pretty flat out for the next couple of weeks. It’s a tough one. The wind is going to be blowing onshore from the north-east for most of it, which just kills the quality. The water is a weirdly warm 64°F (much warmer than normal), but that’s the only highlight.
The whole 16 days is a rough ride. No standout session. The combined wave energy stays weak to moderate the whole time, maxing out at 217 (moderate) on July 21st. The conditions are "poor" for every single time slot. This is a long, quiet period.
From Tuesday the 7th to Sunday the 13th of July, you’re looking at tiny, short-period slop. Swell heights from about 1.0ft to 4ft, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore from the NE. It’s choppy and lumpy.
From Monday the 14th to Sunday the 20th of July, the swell does build a bit—up to about 5ft by the 21st—but the wind stays a problem. You’ll see a bit more energy on the 19th (168) and the afternoon of the 21st (217), but with NE and NNE winds, it’s going to be messy. The periods are short, between 5 and 9 seconds, meaning weak, shapeless waves.
Honestly, with all that wind and chop, this is looking more like a spot for the kite surfers than for us paddle folk. For beginners, the bigger days over 5ft (like the 21st) will be too messy to handle.
Your only real hope is the morning of July 21st if that light ESE breeze shows up. You’d have a 5ft N swell with a 7-second period and clean cross-shore wind. The energy is decent at 179. But it’s a long way off and uncertain. Otherwise, it’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes.
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.
