The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk about this stretch. It’s a long outlook, and the first week is a bit of a grind, but there’s some serious gold at the end of it. For the next week or so, we've got a steady, but not remarkable, SSW swell coming into Ekas-Outside. The wind is going to be mostly a cross-off SE breeze, which will keep the surface clean but not perfect. The water is at 79.3°, which is just about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first few days, Thursday the 6th through the weekend, are looking at fun but average waves. Swell heights will be in the 6.9ft to 8.2ft range, with a solid 16-17 second period. The energy is moderate, coming in around 2300 to 3500. It’s surfable, for sure, but it’s nothing to write home about. The cross-off wind is keeping the face clean, but it’s not going to be a standout. Saturday afternoon and Sunday see the wind pick up to 19 mph, which takes the shine off a bit.
Monday the 10th is where things start to get interesting. The swell drops slightly to 6.2ft in the morning, but the period jumps to 19 seconds, and the energy pushes up to 4221. That’s a nice sign. Then the afternoon brings a quick pulse of 9.8ft, and the energy jumps to 6397. Still, the wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s not perfect, but you can feel the ocean waking up.
Tuesday the 11th is the first real standout. The morning has 9.8ft of SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, and the energy is strong at 5259. But the afternoon is the one. The swell holds at 9.8ft, the period stretches out to 19 seconds, and the energy jumps to a strong 8167. This is the biggest, most powerful swell of the first week. The wind is still cross-off, but at 16 mph it’s manageable. This is a solid day for experienced surfers. The size is getting up there, so it’s not for the faint of heart.
After that, it backs off a bit through the middle of the week. Wednesday the 12th drops back to 6.6ft that morning, and the period shortens to 14 seconds. It’s still rideable, but the juice is gone. Thursday the 13th brings another pulse though, back up to 9.8ft with a 17-second period, and the energy is strong again around 5000. Friday and the weekend are a bit more average, with a slow fade. The winds stay cross-off, and the swell drops to the 5.6ft to 7.9ft range. It’s not bad, but nothing special.
Now, here’s where you need to be patient. The second week is where the real magic happens. After a couple of smaller days on the 17th and 18th, Wednesday the 19th of August is a serious standout. The morning is looking at 8.2ft of SW swell with a 17-second period, and the energy is strong at 3733. The wind is only a gentle 9 mph cross-off, which is as good as it gets here. The report even says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle.
But the true pinnacle is Friday the 21st of August. The morning is showing a 11.5ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period, and the energy is a massive 7047. This is big, powerful, and clean. The wind is a light 9 mph cross-off, which will keep it glassy. This is the biggest swell of the entire forecast. It’s going to be a serious, heavy day, and definitely for experts only. The afternoon backs off a touch to 9.8ft, but it’s still going to be pumping.
So, if you can wait, the 19th and the 21st are the days. The 21st is the big one, but the 19th is the more manageable of the two standouts. The long period swell is going to wrap nicely into this reef break, so expect some proper grinding lines. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you won’t be waiting long between sets. And with the light winds, it’s going to be clean. Just be aware, the size on the 21st is pushing into the realm where it’s only for the experienced crew. The 19th, at 8.2ft, is a better bet for a strong intermediate.

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.
