Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey folks, Rusty here. Walcott’s looking at a pretty bleak 16-day run. The only half-decent window hits this Friday afternoon, July 3rd – a small pulse of 3ft north swell, period 7 seconds, with moderate energy (106). Winds are glassy from the WSW at 3 mph, so the surface should be clean. Water’s sitting at 63° – that’s a solid 5° above normal, so it’s noticeably warm for this time of year. That said, Walcott’s an inconsistent beginner spot, so even then you’re looking at tiny, likely weak waves. Crowds are possible, but given how marginal it is, it might be quiet.
Then it’s a brutal gap. From Saturday July 4th all the way through to Saturday July 18th, every single forecast shows poor surf conditions – flat or close to it, with onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy stays below 100, often in the single digits. There’s a bump on July 18th Saturday: 6ft from the NNW, but with cross-on winds at 12 mph, it’s choppy and ugly – more for a kite session than a paddle. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal but still a letdown. Forecasts can always shift, so keep an eye out, but as it stands, don’t hold your breath.

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.
