The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The forecast for Ekas-Outside is a long run of solid, consistent south-west groundswell, but it’s not all going to be clean cut. We’ve got a stretch of cross-off winds hanging around for most of it, which keeps things from being perfect. The real standout is the first morning on Tuesday the 18th, with a genuine offshore breeze and some proper long-period energy.

We start things off on Sunday the 16th with a solid 7ft SSW groundswell, period of 16 seconds, and the energy is pumping – we’re looking at a strong 2185 reading. But it’s cross-off, not offshore, so it’ll have a bit of texture. Not bad, but not the cleanest. Monday sees the swell ease slightly to 5ft but the period drops to 14 seconds. Still rideable, but a little less push.

Now, Tuesday the 18th morning is the one. The swell is 4ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, but the wind is finally offshore and light. That’s the key. The energy is still strong at 1961 and it’s going to be glassy, clean, and lined up. This is the pick of the first week for sure. The afternoon stays clean but the wind swings cross-off and the swell bumps up a touch.

From Wednesday the 19th through to the following week, the swell really kicks in. We see it build to 8ft on Wednesday, and then it peaks on Thursday the 20th morning at a solid 10ft. Energy is very strong, hitting 4265. This size is getting into expert territory. The winds are cross-off the whole time, which will hold the shape together, but it’s going to be a proper handful. If you’re not comfortable in overhead-plus reef waves, sit this one out.

The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd sees the swell settle around 7ft to 8ft, still cross-off, but the energy stays high. It’s a lot of waves, but not the cleanest conditions. Monday the 24th drops a little to 7ft. Things ease back for Tuesday the 25th with a smaller 4ft, and then it gets a bit weak for a few days around the 26th to the 27th with waves around the 3ft to 5ft mark. Not much doing there.

But hold on, the second week starts to re-fire. Friday the 28th sees a new SSW pulse at 8ft with a 16-second period, and then it really starts to build again into the end of the month. The energy numbers are huge. By Sunday the 30th afternoon, we’re looking at 7ft, and then Monday the 31st morning is another solid 10ft SW swell with a strong 4814 energy reading. That’s another big day for the experts.

Also, a quick word on the water temp – it’s running about average for this time of year at Ekas-Outside, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

So, the two standouts are clear: Tuesday the 18th morning for the clean, manageable size, and Monday the 31st morning for the raw power, but that one is only for experienced heads. Crowds are a possibility at this spot, so be ready to share the peak. It’s a fairly consistent break, so there’s always something to chase.

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.
