The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Ekas-Outside. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but don't get too excited just yet. The first few days are a bit of a tease, with some decent swell but the conditions just aren't clicking for a standout session. The water is sitting at a warm 79°F, right on the money for this time of year, so the boardies are all you need.
There's a bit of energy in the water right from the start. On Tuesday the 25th, we're looking at a 6ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, carrying moderate to strong energy (1453), but those 19 mph SE cross-off winds are just too fresh to call it clean. We'll see similar, slightly smaller stuff through Wednesday and Thursday – the swell drops to about 4ft but the period stretches out, so there are waves, but the wind keeps it from being really inviting. The forecast calls it marginal, and I'd have to agree. It's not a write-off, but you're fighting the breeze.
Alright, Friday the 28th is where things start to get interesting. We see a jump in size to 8ft from the SSW, still packing a 16-17 second period, and the combined energy is well into the strong range (4098). The wind is still a cross-off, which isn't perfect, but it's a better call. This is pushing into expert territory at that size, for sure, especially on a reef. The Saturday the 29th morning session could be the pick of this early run with a 7ft SW swell and a gentler breeze, making for cleaner conditions. That's a solid window.
After that, the swell settles back into the 5ft to 7ft range through the end of August and the start of September. It's consistent but never quite reaches that top-shelf quality because the wind is always blowing a moderate to fresh cross-off. You'll get waves, but they'll be a bit bumpy. This pattern holds right through until around the 4th of September.
Things start to build again around the 6th of September. We get a nice 8ft SSW swell on Sunday the 6th, and then the real highlight appears on the horizon. Mark your calendars for Wednesday the 9th of September. That morning, we are looking at a solid 10ft swell from the SSW, with an 18-second period and wave energy cranking hard at 5308. This is a serious, powerful groundswell. The wind forecast is still a moderate cross-off, which is our main caveat this whole period. But for a strong, experienced surfer who can handle a big reef break, this is the one to wait for. It's a week and a half out, so the details could shift, but the potential is massive.
So there you have it. Not a classic two-week run of perfection, but definitely has its moments. The current conditions are mediocre, but we have a solid pulse on the 28th and 29th of August, and a big, promising swell for the 9th of September. Don't sleep on that last one if you can handle the size.
Rusty.

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.
