The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you, looking at the cards for the next couple of weeks around Walcott. It’s a bit of a tough stretch, if I’m being honest. We've got a real dry spell on our hands, with barely a whisper of surf for the first week. The water is sitting at a warm 65°, which is a good few degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there.
The outlook kicks off Saturday the 25th with nothing doing. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, all the same – flat or tiny, messy waves with poor conditions. We see a little bump of energy on Monday the 27th with a 4ft northwest swell, but the period is short at 5 seconds, the wind is a bit junky, and the report says it’s poor. There’s a moderate amount of wave energy in the water (103), but it’s not translating into anything rideable for us. The rest of that week into the first of August is just a write-off, with more onshore junk and tiny, weak swell.
We finally get a window of clean conditions on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. The wind swings offshore from the southwest, which is a huge positive. But the swell is only 3ft, with a short period, and the energy is weak (77). The report calls it surfable but very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve seen in a week, but it’s a pretty low bar.
The real standout, and the only time I’d get excited, is on Thursday the 6th of August. The morning brings a 4ft northwest swell with a little more push, and the offshore wind is light and from the southwest, making for clean conditions. The combined swell energy is moderate (104). It’s still not a world-beater, but after a week of nothing, a clean, waist-high wave with a light offshore breeze is a solid win. The afternoon holds up too, with a clean 4ft swell. This is the pick of the forecast.
After that, it fades again into the second week, with tiny, weak swells and poor wind. The run from the 3rd to the 5th is particularly flat. Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is a bit more normal. We’ll just have to wait and see if the forecasts change.
Rusty.

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