The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking at Ekas-Inside for the next couple of weeks. This is a sheltered reef break that's pretty consistent when the swell direction lines up, and we're after a strong SSW pulse. The water's about 80°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no weird temperature shifts to worry about.
The first few days are a total loss. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July are all messy, short-period windswell and a stiff cross-off breeze. Just ugly surf. From Wednesday the 29th, the swell direction swings into SSW and the period starts to push into the 14-16 second range – proper groundswell. Still, that wind is cross-off, not pure offshore, so it's marginal. The energy is building into moderate territory though.
Your first real shot at something good is Saturday the 1st of August. The wind backs right off to a light breeze Saturday morning, and we've got clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. The energy is solid at 1386 (moderate), and the forecast is pointing to very good surf. This is the pick of the lineup. Crowds are a "sometimes" thing, so you might share it, but it won't be a circus. That long-period groundswell will really draw lines through this reef.
Sunday the 2nd sees the swell jump to 7-8ft, and the wind picks up a notch. The energy is strong, pushing 3205 in the afternoon. It's got plenty of power, but it's getting too big for beginners. Monday the 3rd backs down to a more user-friendly 6-6ft with a gentle morning breeze – another call for very good surf.
Looking into the second week, from Thursday the 6th of August, it's all about big, powerful swell. We're talking 7ft to 8ft SSW groundswell with periods of 16-18 seconds. The combined energy gets very strong, peaking at 4320 on Saturday the 8th. This is serious, expert-only territory. The wind stays cross-off, so it'll be clean, but waves over 8ft on a long-period groundswell at a reef are not for the inexperienced. The Saturday the 8th morning could be the big session for the hardcore crew, but it's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.
Bottom line: this week is a skip. Next week, Saturday the 1st and Monday the 3rd of August are your cleanest bets for fun waves. The second week is heavy water for experts only.
Rusty.

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 Ekas-Inside 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.
