The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Walcott over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty grim for anyone wanting to get a proper wave. There’s nothing good on the horizon in this 16-day window.
We start off on Sunday the 19th of July with a pulse of 6 ft of northerly swell, but it’s coming with a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind, so it’s lumpy, messy, and just poor conditions. It’s not breaking cleanly, and the combined energy is a moderate 505, but the wind is ruining any chance of quality. This swell drops through Monday, still cross-on, and by Tuesday we’re down to under 3 ft with short, weak 6-second period energy. The combined energy sinks to 64 on Tuesday morning, just a weak, choppy mess.
The whole first week is a write-off. We get some cleaner conditions by Friday the 24th with a light cross-off breeze and 2 ft, but the swell period is a terrible 7 seconds and the energy is a weak 47. It’s clean but tiny and gutless. Saturday the 25th sees even less: 1 ft and a 4-second period. That’s barely a ripple.
We then have a big gap with almost no surf from Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 28th—waves under 1 ft and energy in the single digits. A tiny pulse bumps up to 4 ft on Tuesday morning, but it’s 5-second slop with a moderate cross-off breeze. By Wednesday the 29th, swell hits 5 ft from the north with a 6-second period, combined energy of 175, and clean wind, but even then, the period is short and it’s just not surfable with any quality. After that, it fades out again into early August, with some offshore winds on Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd, but only 2 ft to 3 ft of weak, short-period swell.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. No day worth paddling out for. I’d say this is one of those stretches where you don’t bother waxing up. If the wind and swell ever line up, it’d be a surprise, but right now, it’s a blank run and that’s not unusual for this area when the pattern goes flat.
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.
