Onrus Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfer crew, Rusty here. Got the lowdown for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a sweet start, a long stretch of junk, and a ripper of a finish, so keep your eyes peeled.

Onrus is the name of the game, and it’s on from the get-go this Thursday morning, the 13th. There’s a solid 7ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period. Lots of energy behind it (2719), meaning some serious push. It’s a reef break that’s exposed to this swell, and a light NNE cross-off breeze is gonna have it glassy. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. This one’s for the experienced crew – a little too much juice for the beginners. But for everyone else, it’s going to be firing.

Friday the 14th is still looking fun. The swell backs off to a clean 5ft from the WSW, with a 15-second period. Energy is moderate (1056), and the offshore from the NNW keeps things nice and clean.

Saturday the 15th the swell is a little smaller at around 5ft. The morning is a bit chopped by cross-on wind, but the afternoon turns magical. The wind drops to glass, creating some ultra-clean peelers. Good day for a longboard. Crowds are a possibility here, so pick your moments.

Sunday the 16th has a bit more west in the wind – a cross-off at 12-16mph – keeping it clean with the swell holding at 5ft to 6ft. It's surfable, but the energy level drops a notch.

Monday the 17th sees a bump in size back up to 7-8ft, but a light cross-on wind puts a slight crinkle on the surface. It’s got power for the experienced surfer, but not as perfect as the earlier days.

From Tuesday the 18th all the way through to Wednesday the 26th, we’re looking at a big lull. The wind goes onshore at times, the swell drops off, and the energy just fades away. The 20th, 21st, and 25th are total write-offs with fresh, choppy onshores. It’s a solid run of poor conditions, a real dry spell, so don't plan anything.

But hold on, because the end of the period is where the gold is. On Thursday the 27th, the afternoon is looking like an absolute standout. Wind goes dead calm, flat glass, and a clean 7ft SW swell rolls in with a long 16-second period. The energy is strong (2354) and the conditions are going to be as good as it gets at Onrus. This is the day to circle. The next morning, Friday the 28th, there’s a bigger 8ft swell, but the wind is more cross-shore, which could mess with the perfection. The 27th is your winner.

That Thursday the 27th is the one. Glassy, powerful, and clean. Friday the 28th is one for the experts only, pushing 8 feet.

Stay stoked.
