The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, giving you the long-range look at Ekas-Outside. This is a reef break that's fairly consistent, and for a beginner-friendly spot, it's got some serious grunt heading our way over the next couple of weeks.
We start off a bit slow. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th of July have some swell, but the wind is a bit of a pain—a solid cross-off breeze from the SE that's going to put a bit of a bump on the face. The waves are around 4ft to 5ft from the SSW, with a long period of 14 to 19 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The energy is already building (910 to 1667), but the conditions are "marginal" so don't expect perfection.
Friday the 31st through to Saturday the 1st of August is more of the same. The swell holds in that 4ft to 6ft range, still from the SSW/SW, with that long period (16-17 seconds). The wind is still cross-off, but it's starting to ease off into a lighter breeze on Saturday morning. The energy is moderate to strong (1386 to 1695). It's surfable, but we're still waiting for that magic window.
Now, Sunday the 2nd of August is where it gets interesting. The morning is looking like the standout of the entire forecast. The wind goes light and offshore from the ESE, which is going to make this place glassy and clean. The swell jumps to a solid 7ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The energy is pumping at 2101. The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and that's not a term you hear often. It's a bit big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon will see the wind turn back cross-off, so get on it early.
After that, we have a solid run of surf through the first week of August. From Monday the 3rd to Wednesday the 5th, the swell dips slightly to 6ft, but it's still a long-period SSW groundswell. The wind is back to cross-off, but the energy is still strong (1218 to 1867). It's a consistent stretch of clean, rideable waves.
Then it gets serious again. From Thursday the 6th of August right through to Monday the 10th of August, the swell is consistently in the 7ft to 8ft range from the SSW. The period is long (15-18 seconds), and the wave energy is very strong (2466 to 3994). This is expert territory. The wind stays cross-off, so it will be clean, but these are big, powerful lines for a reef. The long period will make the sets stand up nicely, but the paddle-out might be a mission. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so it could get a bit busy, but most people might be put off by the size.
The size holds into the second week, with Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August still seeing 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, before it starts to ease back on the 12th afternoon to 6ft. The energy stays strong (1490 to 2669). The wind is a consistent cross-off from the SSE.
The final day we have on the books, Thursday the 13th of August, still has a solid 7ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period and strong energy (2128). The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean.
So, the bottom line: the best on offer is the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. That's a perfect window of offshore wind and solid, long-period swell. If you miss that, the whole period from Thursday the 6th to Monday the 10th of August is pumping with big, consistent groundswell for the experts. Keep the long period in mind; at a reef, it's going to be a thing of beauty.
Rusty.
