Hullets Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Hullets Reef.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off, so don’t even bother waxing up until next week. We’re looking at a solid gap of quiet conditions until Monday the 21st of September rolls around. That’s nearly a week of flat or messy junk.

Things finally start to look up on Monday morning the 21st. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the southwest with a solid 13-second period, giving it some proper push. The wind is offshore and moderate, meaning the surface will be clean and lined up. This is the standout of the whole outlook – the combined energy is solid (1557), and for a reef break, that’s some proper grunt. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but with swell over 5ft, it’s going to be a handful for the less experienced. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year.

Monday afternoon holds up nicely too, with 6ft of southwest swell and gentle offshore breezes. It’s a touch smaller, but still clean and fun.

We then hit another patch of poor conditions from Tuesday the 22nd right through to the end of the week. Cross-onshore winds and messy seas – not worth your time.

But hang in there. Sunday the 27th of September brings a couple of real gems. The morning shows a clean 5ft swell from the south-southwest with 13-second periods. Wind is light and cross-offshore, making for glassy conditions. The energy is still decent (1442), and the text says it’s excellent for experienced surfers – that’s a good sign. Then Sunday afternoon keeps the trend going with 6ft from the south-southeast and light, clean winds. Combined energy is 1335. Both sessions are real standouts for the second week, offering clean, rippable waves.

The final spark in the outlook comes on Wednesday the 30th of September. The afternoon session has a clean 7ft easterly swell, but with a short 7-second period. The wind turns offshore and light, so the surface will be clean, but the short period means it might be a bit gutless and bumpy on the face. Still, for a surf-starved end to the month, it’s worth a look. Keep in mind, 7ft is getting into expert territory for beginners.

Overall, the best on offer is undoubtedly Monday the 21st of September and Sunday the 27th of September. The rest is either flat, windy, or blown out. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at this spot, so expect some company on those good days.

Rusty.
