Ekas-Inside Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk it out.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming into Ekas-Inside, a sheltered reef that’s built for this SSW groundswell. The water’s sitting around 81°F, which is spot on for the time of year – nothing to write home about, just standard tropical warmth.

The real standout is Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th. Swell is running 6ft to 7ft, with a very long period of 17 to 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, bringing real energy – the combined energy figures are sitting at 2315 and 2507, so you’re going to feel it. The wind is a steady cross-off from the SE, keeping the surface clean. Not a session for beginners at that size, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the best of the lot.

Thursday the 16th drops a little, still clean, but the energy fades (1319). By Friday and into the weekend, the swell is down to 4ft - 5ft, and while the wind stays cross-off, the quality goes downhill – the readings are in the poor-to-marginal range. It’s still surfable, but not the highlight.

Now, look ahead to Monday the 20th. A new pulse of SW swell hits at 7ft with a 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 2715. That’s a big spike. The wind holds cross-off, so it’ll be lined up, but at that size, it’s expert-only territory. It’s a week out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s promising.

After that, the swell fades through the rest of the week. The final days, from the 28th, show a little long-period groundswell (19 seconds), but the height is only 3ft to 4ft. Clean, but small. A bit of a letdown.

The best windows are definitely Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th, with Monday the 20th as a potential big one. Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you might share the lineup, but with the size on offer, it won’t feel crowded.

Rusty.
