Eastern Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown for Eastern Beach over the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, Monday the 14th is looking wild, but not in a good way. We’ve got a solid 12ft swell pumping in from the ENE, and the energy reading is off the charts, but it’s simply too much for this spot. This is a sandbar setup that’s exposed and inconsistent, and that size is for experts only, if anyone. With a risk of thunderstorms and a light onshore breeze, it’s a day to sit out.

Tuesday the 15th sees the swell drop, but conditions are still messy. Morning brings a 6ft E swell with a cross-shore wind, but the tide is questionable and the quality is just marginal. The afternoon drops to 6ft, but the onshore wind returns. Not worth suiting up.

Wednesday the 16th is a write-off. Strong winds and rain with a short-period 7ft SSW swell in the afternoon. It’s sloppy. Thursday and Friday continue the poor trend with onshore winds, rain, and lumpy conditions. We’re looking at a long gap of bad surf here.

Now, here’s the standout of the whole run. Sunday the 20th. The morning is *the* moment. We’ve got a 10ft ESE swell, but the key is that wind. It’s glassy. Zero wind. The wave energy is very strong. Now, this is a big swell for an inconsistent sandbar, and it might be a handful for anyone but experienced surfers. But when it’s that clean and the wind is dead, it can offer some truly memorable waves. If you can handle the size, this is your window. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-shore and 8ft swell, but the morning is the prize.

After that, the middle of the week goes quiet again. Wednesday the 23rd has a small but promising 4ft S groundswell with a long 12-second period, and the morning is glassy again. The energy is moderate. This is a much more manageable size, and the long period will bring some nice shape, but it’s a beach break so those long-period waves might run a bit straight. Still, with glassy conditions, it’s a good option for intermediates.

The first weekend of the month, the 27th and 28th, looks marginal again with onshore winds and lumpy conditions.

So, to wrap it up: the best bet by far is Sunday the 20th for the big, glassy morning. Wednesday the 23rd is the more user-friendly second option. The rest of the time, it’s a lot of wind and rain with poor quality. For an inconsistent break like this, a run of bad days isn’t unusual, but when it lines up, it can be special.
