The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Ekas-Inside for the next couple of weeks. The whole run is surfable but nothin’ special – all of it comes in with a cross-off wind that keeps the surface from goin’ glassy. Water temp’s 80°, pretty average for the season.
The first waves show up Sunday afternoon, the 30th of August, with a clean 5ft swell from the SW, period of 13 seconds. Energy’s moderate (1367), but with a 15 km/h SE cross-off breeze, it’s got a bit of texture. It’s a beginner-friendly reef, so you can get into it. Through Monday and Tuesday, the swell builds to 7ft by Tuesday morning (1st September), with a long 18-second period and moderate energy (2843). The cross-off breeze holds at 25 km/h, so not glassy, but the 7ft with that period means good shape.
By Wednesday the 2nd, we’ve got steady 7-7ft swell with 16-17 second intervals, energy still solid (up to 2471). Wind stays cross-off from the SE at 25-30 km/h – a bit breezy but workable.
The swell drops Thursday and Friday (3rd-4th) to 4-5ft, periods shorten to 14-16 seconds, and energy falls below 1000 by Friday morning. Friday afternoon gets messy with 30 km/h wind. Saturday the 5th lifts again to 6ft from the SSW, 16-second period, moderate energy (1629), but that cross-off stick around.
The real juice comes Tuesday the 8th to Thursday the 11th of September. We’ve got 7-8ft SSW groundswell, periods of 16-19 seconds. Energy goes big: Tuesday afternoon hits 4459, Wednesday morning reaches 4954, and Wednesday afternoon tops out at 5824 – that’s strong-to-very-strong power. Swell direction lines up perfect with the reef’s optimum. Wind is cross-off from the SSE at 20-25 km/h, which keeps it reasonably clean. That 8ft at a reef with long period is expert territory – you’ll get big, fast sets. Crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you might have company but not a zoo.
After that, the swell fades into the second week. Saturday the 12th holds at 7-7ft, still okay, but by Sunday and Monday (13th-14th), we’re back to 5-6ft with 14-16 second periods and energy in the 1400-1900 range. Wind stays cross-off at 20 km/h. It’s still surfable but nothing special.
The clear standouts are Tuesday the 8th through Thursday the 11th – that’s the best size and power in the whole window for anyone comfortable in big, long-period waves. The rest is just consistent but average.
Rusty.

Information about the Ekas-Inside Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ekas-Inside provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ekas-Inside can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ekas-Inside 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 (Ekas-Inside) 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 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. 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.
