The Lowdown
Right then, let’s take a look at what’s on offer for East Runton over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the foreseeable future. The forecast is showing a long stretch of nothing really worth getting in the water for. The small windows of cleaner conditions are just too small to do anything with. The combined wave energy is weak, with values rarely cracking the 100 mark, and often sitting in the single digits or low tens. It’s just not happening.
The pattern kicks off with a bit of a mess. Wednesday the 9th has some swell around 7 ft from the NNW, but with a gusty cross-on wind of 25 mph, it’s blown out and messy. That’s not surfable for a paddle. By Thursday morning the 10th, the wind shifts offshore from the SSW, but the swell drops right off to a tiny 2 ft from the north, with a period of just 6 seconds. The energy is a paltry 40 (weak). It’s clean, but there’s no power. The water temp is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
From there, it’s a long, dry spell. The swell stays tiny – mostly under 2 ft – all the way through to the 21st of September. The winds are a mixed bag of offshore, cross-off, and cross-shore, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The combined energy stays below 30 for days on end. It’s clean at times, sure, but a lake is clean too. You’d be better off leaving the boards at home.
The only faint glimmer is around the 22nd and 24th of September, where the swell picks up slightly to 3 ft from the east and WNW. The energy gets up to around 43-44 (still weak), but the wind is cross-on or cross-shore, so it’s going to be choppy and lumpy. Not a stand-out, not by a long shot.
So, the bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For East Runton, this kind of blank run can happen, but it doesn’t tend to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, the call is a hard pass.
