The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for Ekas-Outside.
Right off the bat, the water’s sitting at a nice 81°, and the anomaly is just 0.7°, so that’s about what we’d expect for this time of year – nice and warm.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid groundswell energy coming through, but the wind is mostly hanging in that cross-off from the SE, which keeps things clean but never quite delivers that perfect groomed face. The first week is a tough one. From Thursday 16th July through to Monday 20th July, the swell is present but the scores are low – it’s all a bit marginal. You’ll see waves between 4ft and 5ft, with periods around 13-15 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The energy is moderate to strong (values like 1200 to 1662), but it just never quite clicks into gear. The best of a tricky bunch is Friday 17th July morning, with 5ft from the SW and a 15-second period. It’s clean, but it's not exactly firing.
Then we hit a bit of a lull. From Monday 20th afternoon through to the end of the month, it’s pretty bleak. Swell drops, the wind picks up, and by the 23rd and 24th, conditions are poor. There’s a gap of several days where you’d be best off just watching the tide and keeping the board in the car.
Now, for the standout. Cast your eyes to the very end of the forecast. On Friday 31st of July, that’s over a week away, things look promising. We’ve got 6ft to 7ft of SW swell, with a long 18-second period. The energy is strong, around 3614. That’s proper juice. The wind is still cross-off from the SE, so it’ll be clean. This spot can handle that size, and with that period, it’s going to be a proper reef-banger. It’s a fairly consistent break, but crowds are possible here, so get in early. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Summary: The first week is marginal. Hold out for Friday 31st July – that’s your window for some real quality.
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.
