The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are offering up some swell, but the wind is just not playing ball. It’s a cross-off breeze from the SE, which isn’t doing us any favours, and the wave quality is being held back by tide issues. From Friday 24th July right through to the end of the month, things are pretty marginal. The swell is there, but it’s messy and not really worth paddling out for.
We’re looking at Saturday morning 1st August as the first real glimmer of hope. The wind drops right back to a light breeze, and the swell starts to build. Ekas-Outside is a reef break, and it’s fairly exposed to a SSW swell, which is right on the money. The water temp is sitting at 80° Fahrenheit with the anomaly showing it’s bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. That Saturday morning session sees a 5ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, giving that proper groundswell feel. The combined energy is pumping at 1946 (moderate-strong), but it’s the clean conditions that make it a standout. It’s a spot for experienced surfers at that size, and it’s fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
The real stand-out, though, I’m looking at Friday 7th August. That’s a long way off, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the numbers are mouth-watering. That morning, we’re looking at a 13ft SSW swell, a 20-second period, and the combined energy goes through the roof at 12417 (very strong). The wind is a moderate cross-off from the SE, which is workable. This is big, powerful groundswell. For a reef break like Ekas-Outside, that’s a recipe for some serious, heaving barrels. This is for experts only at that size – 13ft is no joke. The afternoon holds similar size at 13ft, with a 19-second period and energy at 11218. If this one comes together, it’ll be a day to remember.
So, the plan? Sit tight through the first week. The wind is just too strong. The standout is 1st August morning for a clean, solid session, but the real big boy swell is looking like 7th August. Keep your fingers crossed for that one.
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.
