Table - best surf conditions forecast for East Runton over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be honest – the next couple of weeks at East Runton are a total downer for anyone looking for a surf. There’s not a single worthwhile wave in the entire 16-day window. Nada.
Starting now, early this week, it’s all messy windslop. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are blown out: onshore and cross-onshore winds at 16 mph, swell at 3 to 4 ft, period around 6 seconds, and energy levels barely hitting 126 to 104. Just ugly, choppy water.
Through the middle of the week, Wednesday the 15th to Saturday the 18th, the swell drops even more – we’re looking at 2 to 4 ft of weak, short-period junk. Winds stay cross-onshore, and the wave energy tumbles to a pathetic 14 on Thursday afternoon. This is not surf, it’s just a choppy mess.
Sunday the 19th gets a little bigger – swell hits 6 ft from the north, period up to 8 seconds, energy jumps to 341. But don’t get excited. The wind is still cross-onshore, stirring it all up, and it’s flagged as ‘poor surf conditions.’ That size with messy wind just means lumpy, hard-to-ride seas.
Monday the 20th still has some push (5 ft, 8 seconds, 253 energy), but again, winds are cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things crumbly. After that, the swell just fades into nothing. From Tuesday the 21st through to the end of the forecast on July 29th, the waves shrink to under 3 ft, then vanish. From July 24th onward, it’s flat – no energy whatsoever. The wind turns offshore or cross-offshore, but there’s nothing to ride.
So yeah, a total blank run. Sixteen days and no standouts. If you’re into kite surfing, those windy days around the 18th to 20th might offer something, but for paddle surfing? No chance. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a long, flat wait.
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.
