The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking for Ekas-Outside. This is a reef break that’s pretty open to SSW swells, and that’s the direction we want. Water temp is 79°F, which is about average for this time of year, with the anomaly being just -0.5°F, so nothing unusual.
Right now, we’re in a quiet spell. No real surf to recommend for the first few days. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th have a little swell around 6ft, but the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 to 19 mph, and the ratings are low. Not worth getting wet for.
There’s a couple of days gap before things pick up. Thursday the 27th afternoon brings a 3ft swell from the SW with a super long period of 20 seconds, and only a light breeze. The combined wave energy is strong at 1739. It’s small, but clean – could be a sleeper session for those who like a reef with long lines.
Friday the 28th morning is the clear winner. Swell hits 8ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, with light cross-off winds. The combined energy is cranking at 4100 – that’s very strong. The direction is spot on for the optimum. This is the best of the whole outlook, but 8ft is big – experts only. The long period means the reef will shape it up nicely, with clean sets and longer lulls. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so expect a few crew out, but it’ll be worth it.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th ease off – swells around 5ft to 7ft, with moderate breezes. Still clean, but nothing that matches Friday morning.
From Monday the 31st into early September, the swells run between 4ft and 7ft, but the winds stay cross-off and moderate to fresh. There’s a bump on Tuesday the 1st with 7ft from the SW (combined energy 2407), but the wind is 15 to 19 mph, so it won’t be glassy.
The second week gets another pulse around Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September. Swells back up to 7ft to 7ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, with light to moderate breezes. Combined energy is strong at 2329 to 2994. It’s a promising stretch, but it’s a ways out, so stay tuned. If the winds hold, it could be another good run for the experienced crew.
Bottom line: Friday the 28th morning is the one to circle. After that, the second week around the 6th and 7th is worth watching.
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. 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.
