The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's heading our way for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we’ve got a bit of a slow start here. The first real surf I can get excited about doesn’t arrive until Wednesday the 2nd of September. It's a bit of a waiting game, but the wait looks worth it.
Wednesday the 2nd is where the action kicks off. It’s gonna be a big, powerful swell. We’re looking at a solid 10 ft groundswell from the SW, with a long period of 13 seconds. The energy is massive– we’re talking 3471. That’s proper stuff. This is for experienced surfers only; at that size it’s too much for beginners. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 58°, about 3° below the average. The wind is a light cross-off, which will keep it clean. This is going to be a standout session for those who can handle it. Thursday the 3rd starts out still solid with a 6 ft SW groundswell (1218 energy) and light cross-off winds, but stay well clear of the afternoon – a near gale force offshore wind kicks in and makes it a nightmare to paddle into.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are a write-off, in my opinion. We've got strong to gale force offshore winds, and the swell drops right off. Not worth even looking at.
Sunday the 6th is our next real highlight. Get up early. We’re looking at a 7 ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds and light offshore winds. That’s 2528 energy. Again, expert territory at that size, but the power and the clean conditions will be something special. The afternoon holds a 6 ft swell with a light cross-off breeze, still excellent.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are messy with onshore and cross-onshore winds, so the quality drops right out. We’ll give them a miss.
Then we get a little window on Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell is small, only 3 ft, but the wind goes glassy. For a sneaky small-wave session on a longboard, that could be a treat.
After that, things get inconsistent and windy again until Tuesday the 15th of September. That morning and afternoon, we get a clean 5 ft to 6 ft WSW swell with light offshore winds. A nice, clean, and very surfable size for a session.
Looking way out, Wednesday the 16th of September is a wild card. A massive 16 ft SW swell is forecasted for the afternoon, with an insane 12557 energy. It’s a long-range call, so don’t bank on it, but if it shows up, it’ll be a monster. It’s an expert-only proposition at that size and the wind is only moderate, so it might be a bit of a battle.
Right, that’s the whole story. Keep your eyes on Wednesday the 2nd and Sunday the 6th for the real magic.

Information about the Inner Kom Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Inner Kom provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Inner Kom can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Inner Kom 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.

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 Inner Kom 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.
