The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for the coming weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for Walcott. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim, and there’s not a single session I’d get excited about.
We kick off with a real dud. From Saturday the 8th right through the entire first week, the swell is tiny and weak. It’s almost all under 3.3ft, with periods mostly short, in the 4 to 8 second range, and the combined energy is pathetic – barely sneaking into triple digits on a couple of afternoons. Most of the time the wind is cross or cross-onshore, chopping things up. Even when the wind is offshore on the 16th, the swell is just 0.7ft, so it’s a flat, clean lake. There’s nothing to ride.
The second week doesn’t bring any salvation either. There’s a big spike of energy on Wednesday the 19th, with the swell jumping to 9.8ft and combined energy hitting a massive 1143, but it’s all cross-onshore with a fresh breeze, turning it into a blown-out, lumpy mess. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine for experts only, and even then, it’s not worth it. The rest of the week is back to small, weak, and messy.
Honestly, for Walcott, this is a proper blank run. The spot is already inconsistent, and with no decent swell lining up with clean winds, there’s simply nothing on offer. Don’t bother paddling out for the next two weeks; forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total write-off.

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.
