The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same readout in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a slow start for Kaolins. From Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th of September, the onshore wind is blowing and the surf is just junk. Small, weak, and messy. Not worth a second look.
The first real chance shows up on Saturday the 5th of September. The wind goes light offshore from the ENE, and the waves clean right up. Swell is about 4ft from the west with a 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate (316). That’s a proper groundswell for the reef, and with that offshore wind, it’ll be glassy. This is a standout. Water temp is about 66°, which is normal for the season. It’s an advanced reef that’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to work for it. Crowds are possible, but the early morning is your best bet.
Sunday the 6th of September is a dud. Swell drops and the wind goes against you.
Monday the 7th of September morning has a pulse of long-period swell at 3ft from the WSW, 14-second period, and strong energy (469). Wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit choppy. Marginal, but not a total loss if the tide is right.
The rest of that week and into the next is mostly onshore wind and poor conditions. A few small, weak days.
The second real chance is Sunday the 13th of September morning. The wind is light offshore from the NE, making it clean. Swell is 5ft from the west, 8-second period, with strong energy (385). It’s a shorter period, so it’ll be a bit fatter, but that offshore wind will make it rideable. It’s an advanced reef, so be ready.
Monday the 14th of September morning has a light offshore breeze and a 3ft swell, but it’s only ordinary.
The very end of the forecast, Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon, is glassy with a tiny 2ft swell at 13 seconds. Surfable, but small. Thursday the 17th of September morning has a clean offshore breeze with a 4ft WSW swell at 11 seconds. Ordinary again, but possible.
So, the best call is Saturday the 5th of September with that clean offshore wind. The second best is Sunday the 13th of September, also clean. Everything else is a long wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Kaolins Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kaolins provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kaolins can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kaolins 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. If you surf the same spot (Kaolins) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Kaolins 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.
