Eastern Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board. This is Rusty.

First up, we’re looking at a pretty slow start for Eastern Beach. The first few days are a write-off, with messy onshore winds and poor surf. You’ll be waiting until the morning of Sunday the 13th before anything worth paddling out for shows up.

That Sunday morning is the real standout here. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, and a solid SSW groundswell arrives with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined swell energy is strong at 1302. That’s a groundswell with serious grunt—it’ll be clean and powerful, with proper shape. The swell is around 4 ft, so it’s not a monster, but with that period, it’ll have plenty of punch. This is more of an intermediate to experienced surfer’s session, as the long period will make it wall up on the sandbar at Eastern Beach. It’s an inconsistent break, so you’ll have to be patient for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. The water is sitting at 65°, a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

After that, the surf gets messy again. There’s a possible window late on Sunday afternoon, but the wind picks up a notch. The next real glimmer is on the morning of Saturday the 20th of September. That’s over a week away, so it’s a long-range call, but it looks promising. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore SSW breeze, with a 3 ft easterly swell. The energy is low at 312, so it’ll be small and weak, but clean. It’s not a standout, just a little session if you’re desperate.

The only other thing to keep an eye on is the afternoon of Wednesday the 23rd of September. Again, a long way off, but there’s a 6 ft SSW groundswell, period of 14 seconds, and a very strong combined energy of 1578. The wind is light onshore, so it might be a bit bumpy, but that’s a lot of water moving around. Don’t get your hopes up too much yet.

Overall, wait for the Sunday the 13th morning session. That’s the one.

Rusty.
