Fullers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, it's Rusty. Let's get into it. This stretch isn't about perfection every day, but there are some solid windows to get wet at Fullers.

The water is sitting at 54°, which is a good 5° colder than usual for this time of year. That's a proper chill, so a good hood and booties are gonna be your best mate for the next few weeks.

Alright, let's break it down. The first half of the outlook has some waves, but conditions are a bit of a mixed bag. On Sunday the 12th, we've got a small 3 ft swell coming from the SSW with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and the combined energy is moderate (462). It's not great.

Monday the 13th morning looks a whole lot better. The swell stays at 3 ft from the SSW, but the wind glassed right off. That's your first real window for a clean, glassy session. The combined energy is a moderate (446), and the swell has that nice long period (13 seconds) for a reef setup like Fullers to really shape up.

We get a bit of a shift Tuesday the 14th with a smaller NW windswell, but that comes with a shorter 8-second period and cross-winds, so it's not the one to get excited about.

Thursday the 16th sees a pulse of NW swell, pushing 5 ft in the morning with a moderate 9-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. It won't be mind-blowing, but it's rideable. That afternoon swell jumps to 8 ft, but the period drops to a very short 6 seconds, and the wind picks up to 25 km/h. At that size and with that short period, it's going to be a bit of a washing machine—only for the experienced crew.

Now, the real standouts come through in the second week. Saturday the 18th afternoon is your first standout. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the WNW with a very long 16-second period, the wind is dead calm and glassy, and the combined energy is solid (577). This is going to be clean, lined-up, and proper fun on the reef. Bring the longboard or a mid-length.

Then, Sunday the 19th morning is your best day on offer. It's a glassy morning with a 3 ft swell from the SSE and a 12-second period. The combined energy jumps up nicely (835), and those conditions are just about perfect for a session. This one's the clear winner.

We also get another excellent window on Monday the 20th afternoon, with glassy conditions and a 3 ft SW swell (16-second period) and strong energy (723). Into the 23rd and 24th, the swell stays in the 4 ft to 5 ft range from the S/SSE, with good periods and mostly light winds, keeping the reef working nicely.

Overall, there's plenty to work with if you pick your windows. Just don't get caught out by the bigger, shorter-period stuff on the 16th, and definitely don't miss that glassy Sunday the 19th.
Stay warm.
Rusty.
