Grajagan Bay/G-Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk in feet and Fahrenheit. This is Rusty, looking at the same 16-day window.

We’ve got a steady run of swell, but the wind is the main character here – mostly a cross-off breeze that keeps things clean but not perfect. The real highlights are Wednesday the 15th and Friday the 17th, when we get proper offshore wind.

Tuesday the 14th kicks it off with waves around 6ft in the morning, building to 7ft in the afternoon. It’s a cross-off wind and the wave energy is high, over 2900 (moderate to strong). The water temp is 79°, which is dead average for the time of year. The call is “marginal,” so it’s not the best session.

Now, Wednesday morning the 15th is the one. 7ft of SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, wind offshore from the ESE at 15 km/h (9 mph). The energy is still pumping at 2200 (moderate to strong). This is labelled “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” – and at over 6ft, G-Land is a proper expert wave. The offshore wind will make it hollow and clean. That’s your top pick.

Thursday the 16th backs off a bit – 5ft in the morning, 5ft in the afternoon, still cross-off. Energy drops to 989-1280 (moderate). Not a standout.

Friday morning the 17th gives us another good one. 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, offshore wind at 20 km/h (12 mph). Energy is moderate at 1367, and it’s got that “excellent” tag. That morning will be a lot of fun.

From Saturday the 18th through to Tuesday the 22nd, the swell settles into the 4ft to 5ft range, with rain showers and cross-off breezes. Energy stays moderate, mostly under 1000. It’s consistent but not firing.

Monday the 20th sends a pulse of bigger swell – 7ft SSW – but the wind is cross-off and stronger at 25 km/h (16 mph). The energy is strong (2964), but the call is “marginal,” so it’s a bit of a letdown.

From the 22nd onward, it fades. Waves drop from 4ft down to under 2ft by the 28th. The last few days – 28th and 29th – have tiny 2ft to 3ft waves with energy under 500 (weak). Not worth the paddle.

Grajagan Bay/G-Land is the only spot on the menu. It’s a world-class reef, very consistent, and fully exposed to the SSW swell we’re getting. Optimum direction is SW, and we’re close enough. Crowds are possible here, and this wave is strictly for advanced surfers.

Best bets: Wednesday morning the 15th and Friday morning the 17th. That offshore wind with the long-period groundswell is where the magic is.

Rusty.
