The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into this next 16-day window for Ekas-Outside. The whole stretch is on reefs, so expect that familiar setup, but it’s going to take a bit of patience before we see anything clean and punchy.
The first few days are tough. Starting from Sunday the 26th of July, we’ve got a solid 8ft swell (1995 combined energy) but it’s coming from the SE with a 9-second period. That’s a short-period, wind-driven swell for a reef, and with a steady 15 to 18 mph cross-offshore wind, the shape just won’t be there. It drops off fast into Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, with weaker waves and moderate breeze, so don’t paddle out expecting much.
We finally get a shift late on Tuesday the 28th afternoon when the swell direction swings to SSW and the period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s real groundswell energy. Wednesday the 29th keeps that long-period SSW swell running around 4ft but still with fresh cross-off winds that keep the surface messy.
The standout moment arrives on Saturday morning the 1st of August. The data calls it excellent for experienced surfers, and I get why. Swell is a clean 5ft from the SSW with a 16-second period (1444 combined energy) and wind eases to a gentle 9 mph cross-off. That’s going to be glassy, long lines on the reef. Crowds can happen here sometimes, but if you get out early, it will be worth it. The water temp is 80°, about normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.
Sunday the 2nd of August is similar, but the swell bumps up to 6ft (1974 energy) with the same SSW direction and 16-second period. Still clean, but the bigger size makes it more of a strong intermediate to expert wave. That’s a two-day window of proper wave riding.
After that, it settles back into marginal conditions. Winds stay moderate to fresh cross-off, and the swell hangs around 5ft to 7ft with periods between 14 and 17 seconds. It’s rideable but not special. The energy is there (over 1200 and up to 2157), but the wind is just strong enough to mess with that beautiful reef face.
The last highlight comes on Monday the 10th of August, over a week away. We see the biggest swell of the whole forecast: 10ft from the SSW with a 17-second period and combined energy hitting 4760. That’s a heavy, powerful groundswell. Only experts should be thinking about it, and even then, with moderate cross-off wind, it won’t be picture-perfect. Worth watching, but keep your expectations realistic for that far out.
Overall, if you want the best waves, make your move Saturday the 1st of August morning. That’s the one.

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.

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.
