The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for Ekas-Outside.
Right off the bat, the pattern shows a long stretch of surf that's on offer, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. We're looking at a solid, persistent SSW swell running for days, but the wind is locked in from the SE to SSE, which gives us a cross-off wind. It's clean, but it's not the perfect offshore we'd dream of for this reef. The water's sitting at a pretty normal 79°F for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout is shaping up for Friday, the 28th of August. We've got a solid 10ft SSW swell rolling in, with a period of 17 seconds. That's a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at 4328 – strong to very strong. This is a serious amount of water moving. The wind is a moderate breeze from the SSE, still cross-off. At 10ft, this is strictly for the experts – the power and size on this reef will be intimidating for anyone else. The long period will make for some proper, grinding waves but it's going to be a handful.
Following that, the 1st of September (Tuesday) is another one to watch. The swell drops back a bit to 6ft from the SW, but the period is still a solid 16 seconds. The energy is still strong at 2320, and the wind is a gentler 12 mph from the SE. This is a much more manageable size for a good crew of intermediate to advanced surfers. The long period will still offer excellent shape and power at this reef break.
After that, we see the swell start to wind down. There's a gap in the really good stuff from about the 3rd of September, where the sizes drop and the energy fades. The forecast picks up again on the 6th of September (Sunday) with another pulse from the SSW, hitting 7ft with a 17-second period and strong energy at 2215. It's promising, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on it – things can change.
So, to put it simply: the best bet is Friday the 28th of August for the big-wave crew. For the rest of us, the 1st of September is looking like the cleanest and most user-friendly day with that strong, long-period SW swell and lighter wind. The crowds here are listed as 'sometimes', so you might get lucky with some empty peaks, but don't bank on being completely alone.
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-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.
