The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Ekas-Outside over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up with you, the first week is a bit of a struggle. We're looking at a lot of onshore or cross-off wind from the SE, around 15 to 25 mph, which is going to mess with the surface. The swell is mostly there, from the SSW, but the conditions just aren't coming together for a good paddle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report. The first few days are pretty much write-offs with poor surf conditions and very low scores.
Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th of July see a bit more size, with a short-period SE swell pushing up to 7.9 ft by Sunday arvo, but that's paired with a strong breeze and a messy period of 9 seconds or less, so it's not going to be much fun. The combined wave energy is moderate to strong (1076 to 1160), but without clean wind, it's just a washing machine. This run of average conditions holds right through until the end of the month.
Now, we finally get a change. From Saturday the 1st of August, things start looking up. The wind backs off a little, and we get a proper SSW groundswell settling in. The mornings on Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd of August are the real standouts here. You're looking at a solid 6.6 ft to 6.9 ft of SSW swell, with a nice long period of 15-16 seconds. The wind is a light breeze, which is the best we've seen by a long shot. The combined energy is strong (2123 to 2386), meaning there's plenty of push. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers; that size and power on a reef break like Ekas-Outside will be world-class.
The break itself is fairly consistent and a beginner-friendly reef, but at this size, it's only for the crew who know what they're doing. The wind is cross-off, so it won't be absolutely glassy, but it'll be clean. Crowds are always a possibility here, so expect some company. The optimum swell direction for this spot is SSW, and that's exactly what we're getting.
So, after a slow, windy start, the first week of August offers a proper window of excellent waves. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like the real deal.

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.
