Table - best surf conditions forecast for Walcott over the next 16 days.
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks for Walcott.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is lookin’ flat and messy. The swell energy is weak, with combined energy readings mostly in the double digits or low triple digits (97, 116, 125), which is barely enough to push a ripple through. Add to that the fact that Walcott is inconsistent and a beginner wave, and you’ve got a real struggle on your hands.
The winds are almost always onshore or cross-onshore, coming from the NE to E, which chops up what little wave there is. The swell direction is all wrong too – Walcott needs a northerly, and we’re seeing NE and E for the most part. The period is short, mostly 4 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-affected slop.
There’s a little blip around the 20th and 21st, with combined energy hitting 212 and 261, and a slightly longer period pushing 9 seconds. Swell height bumps up to 5 feet from the NNE. But even then, the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be a choppy, lumpy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
Later on, the 26th has a moment of offshore wind from the WSW, but the swell is tiny – just 0.7 feet. Not surfable.
So, to be straight with you, there’s no good surf options in this window. It’s a blank run, which is more normal for this area when conditions don’t line up. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay this quiet forever.

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.
