The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Ekas-Outside. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but it’s not a straight-up classic. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is pretty much average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
The pattern starts this Friday, August 28, with a decent 8ft groundswell from the SW, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The wind is cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, which keeps things clean, but the overall energy is strong (3343). It’s rideable, but not the best of the run.
Saturday, August 29, is actually the pick of the early days. The morning drops slightly to 6ft from the SW, still a long 15-second period, with a gentler 9 mph SE cross-off. The wave energy is still strong (1686), and the conditions are clean. This is the one for experienced surfers who want a proper groundswell without the wind getting too feisty.
Sunday through to the following week gets a bit messier. The swell stays in the 5ft to 7ft range, but the wind picks up to 15-18 mph, making it choppier. The energy is still moderate to strong (952-2984), but the quality drops. It’s still surfable, especially if you don’t mind a bit of a breeze.
Now, if you’re looking ahead, the real standout is the weekend of September 12. Morning of the 12th sees 8ft from the SW, a long 18-second period, and the combined energy is massive (4027). The wind is 18 mph from the SE, so it’s cross-off and clean. This is the big one on the charts – a proper groundswell with heaps of push. The period is long, so expect longer lulls between sets, but those waves will have shape and power. For the experienced crew, this is the session to pencil in.
The whole run is at Ekas-Outside, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and fairly exposed to the SW swell. It can get crowded, so don’t expect a solo mission. The 8ft-plus days are for experts only; beginners should stay well clear.
Overall, there’s surf almost every day once it kicks off, but the absolute best is Saturday morning, August 29, and the big groundswell on Saturday, September 12. That second one is a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

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