The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got on the table for Walcott over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough run. We're looking at a long, dry spell to kick things off, with barely anything worth paddling out for. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off, with tiny, weak, and messy conditions plaguing the break. You'll see days and days of poor surf, with choppy cross-onshore winds and sea-breeze junk. The swell is small and the energy is pretty much non-existent. Don't bother until we get past the first week of August.
The only real glimmer, and I mean the one standout in this whole 16-day window, is the morning of Tuesday, the 11th of August. We finally get a bit of a pulse. Swell is up to around 3.3ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (123). More importantly, we get a clean, cross-offshore wind from the west with a light breeze. That's the kind of wind that'll put a little gloss on the face. It's not huge, but after so much nothing, clean 3.3ft surf is a blessing. Keep in mind, Walcott is an inconsistent spot, so you have to take the window when it opens.
Also notable is the water temp right now. At the start of this forecast, on the 29th of July, the water was a toasty 65.5°, which is 4.1° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a much warmer than normal start to the run.
For the rest of that second week, you'll see some cleaner cross-off winds again on the 12th and the morning of the 13th, but the swell drops back down to a weak and small 2.6ft, making it a case of small, clean leftovers rather than something to get truly excited about.
So, the one real target: Tuesday the 11th of August morning. That's your best bet. Everything else is a long stretch of flat, choppy, or just plain poor conditions.

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.
