Knights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for the region. We’ve got some real power showing up in the middle of the run, but it’s gonna be too much of a good thing for our main spot. The start of the period is pretty quiet, and we’ll have to be patient. The first few days don’t have much to get excited about, with only marginal conditions and light winds. It’s not looking like a total loss, but it’s not gonna be a surf-heavy start either.

Heading into Sunday the 9th, there’s a bit of a pickup. We’re looking at a 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is offshore from the N, which is a solid combo. The energy is moderate, at 1018, and while it’s not massive, it’ll be clean. This is a good day for the more experienced crew, not for beginners.

Monday the 10th is a complete write-off. The swell jumps to 13ft but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore and it’s lumpy as anything. The energy is strong, 14876, but it’s a mess. Better off finding something else to do. This pushes into Tuesday the 11th, where we’ve got a 6ft SSW swell, but the fresh cross-off wind and the lumpy conditions keep things marginal. The water temp is 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so we’re not dealing with anything crazy there.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are the same story – the swell is just too big for this break. We’re looking at 13ft and 12ft swells, with strong energy readings over 12000. The wind is cross-onshore and it’s just too much. This size is only for experts, and even then, the conditions are poor. It’s a good time to stay on the beach.

Finally, we get a break in the clouds. Friday the 14th is still big at 12ft, but the wind is lighter. It’s still cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not ideal. However, Saturday the 15th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops to 8ft, and we have a glassy morning with a slight air. The energy is dropping to 3130, but it’s clean and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the first real standout. It’s an 8ft SSW swell, so it’s still big, but the clean conditions make it worth a look for the advanced crew.

Sunday the 16th drops off a bit to 7ft, but the cross-on wind comes back, making it marginal again. Monday the 17th is a return to cleaner conditions. The wind is cross-off from the ENE, and we have a 5ft SSW swell. It’s a bit smaller, but it’s clean and the energy is moderate at 1124. This is a good one for a log or a fun board.

The middle of the week, Tuesday the 18th, has a small 3ft swell in the morning, but it picks up a bit in the afternoon with a 4ft SSW swell and a 17-second period. The wind is offshore and clean. It’s small, but it’s fun. Wednesday and Thursday are similar – small, clean, cross-off winds, and not much energy. It’s a good time for a longboard session.

Then we get to the real gem. Friday the 21st. We have a 6ft WSW swell with an 18-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off from the NNW. The energy is strong at 4174. Conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout.

The weekend is looking good too. Saturday the 22nd is a bit smaller, but still clean. The real highlight is Sunday the 23rd. We’re looking at a 7ft SW swell with a massive 19-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE. The energy is up at 6130. This is an exceptional forecast for expert surfers. It’s a bit of a wait, but this is the one to circle on the calendar. This is the best on offer.

So, to cut a long story short: the early days are quiet, the middle is a mess, but the tail end of the forecast holds some proper gems. The 15th and the 23rd are the standout days, with the 23rd looking like the pick of the bunch. Keep an eye on the forecast, because the long-range stuff can change, but right now, that’s the one.

Rusty.
