Kirra Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s in store for Kirra over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a tease, but there’s one window worth setting the alarm for.

We kick off on Friday the 28th of August with some clean, surfable waves – 5ft from the south, 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 689, and the wind’s cross-off, so it’s rideable but not glassy. Water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

Saturday the 29th looks better – 4ft from SSE, 10-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze in the morning. That’s clean, and Kirra loves that. Energy’s down to 339, but quality’s up. Sunday the 30th pushes to 6ft from SSE with an 8-second period and moderate offshore – energy hits 466 – but shorter period makes it a bit wonky.

Monday the 31st holds at 6ft, SSE, 8-second period, offshore wind, energy at 498. It’s consistent but nothing to scream about.

Then it goes dead. From Tuesday the 1st of September through Saturday the 6th, it’s all under 3ft, energy drops below 100, and winds turn ugly. That’s a six-day hole where you’re better off doing something else.

But hold tight. Monday the 7th of September afternoon brings a proper pulse – 7ft from SSE, 10-second period, cross-off wind. Combined energy rockets to 910 – strong, meaty stuff. This is the standout. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and at Kirra, that’s a green light. It’s over 5ft, so beginners should sit this one out. Crowds are often, so don’t expect solitude.

After that, Tuesday the 8th fades to 5ft, then it’s small and weak through to the 12th – short-period, poor conditions.

The one to lock in is Monday the 7th of September afternoon. Everything else is either flat or forgettable. Kirra’s a gem, but you gotta time it right.

Catch ya in the water,
Rusty
