Hullets Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for us. The whole stretch is a bit of a rollercoaster, but there are a couple of real moments to get excited about.

The first bit of the run is a bit of a dud for us. We have a solid, clean swell showing up on the 2nd, but it's a big one. Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, we’re looking at a solid 9.8ft SW groundswell. The energy is pumping, with a combined energy of 3431. This is a big, powerful swell. The wind is glassy, so the conditions will be pristine. But, that size is for experienced surfers only. For a reef break like Hullets Reef, that’s a serious session reserved for the crew who know what they're doing. The water temp is 64.2°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, but nothing to be alarmed about. After that morning, things go downhill. The wind shifts and the quality drops right off. We have a long stretch of messy, onshore, or just poor conditions from Wednesday afternoon through to the end of the first week.

June 7th (Monday) shows a bit of a change. There’s a 9.8ft E swell pushing in, but the wind is a bit tricky. The morning has an onshore wind, but it clears up to a clean, cross-off breeze in the afternoon. It’s an 8.2ft E swell by then, which is a lot of power, but the quality is still marginal, so it’s not a total standout.

The real standout is on the 17th of September (Thursday). This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a massive 13.1ft SW groundswell from the deep south, with a combined energy of 5857. The wind is offshore, glassy, and clean. This is big, powerful, and perfect. It’s a proper expert-level day. The 13.1ft is a beast, but it’s a long-period groundswell (14 seconds), which will hold up nicely on the reef, giving some incredible, hollow waves. The consistency and quality are about as good as it gets. This is the only true standout in the whole run.

After that, the 18th holds a similar 11.5ft SW swell, also clean, which will be a fantastic follow-up day for the chargers.

Overall, it’s a pretty quiet outlook for the first two weeks, but the final few days, especially the 17th, are a genuine world-class event in the making. Don’t hold your breath for the first 10 days, but the last few are very, very special.
