The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s just get into it. This forecast is basically all about one spot, and it’s a real mixed bag of quality. The whole 16-day window is dominated by a long period, strong groundswell, but the wind just won’t get out of the way.
We start with no real standout until late in the month. The first few days from the 22nd see solid swell, but that persistent cross-offshore wind keeps things from being perfect. However, water temp is sitting at a normal 79°, so the only thing you’ll need is a spring suit.
Here’s the deal: Ekas-Outside will be the main event. The big standout that actually has a shot at being decent is on Friday the 28th of August. That morning, a solid 10ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period rolls in, and combined energy is a hefty 4486. That’s serious power. It’s a reef break, so that long period is a massive plus for shape and you’ll get proper lines. However, the wind is still cross-off from the SE at 12 mph. It’s not offshore, but it’s not onshore either, so it could clean it up. With that size, this is for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is expert territory.
The other moment that catches my eye is way out on Tuesday the 1st of September. Another deep groundswell, 8ft to 8ft from the SW, with an 18-second period. Energy readings are up around 3600 to 3800. Again, cross-off winds, but the potential is there for some heavy, clean waves at this reef.
There’s a bit of a drop-off in the middle around the 30th and 31st, but then it ramps back up. The pattern keeps delivering these big, long period pulses from the SSW and SW, which are exactly what this break likes. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you’ll have company, but it won’t be a total zoo.
Honestly, the whole run is plagued by that cross-off wind. For a paddle surfer, it’s frustrating; for a kite surfer, the wind speed and swell combo during the bigger days on the 28th of August and 1st of September would be pretty tasty.
Rusty.

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-Outside 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.
