The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – Walcott is looking bleak for the next 16 days. The water is 65°F right now, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – weirdly warm, but that’s the only thing that’s out of the ordinary.
We’ve got a long dry spell of flat, weak, or crappy conditions for the first 8 days. The first real chance you’ll want to paddle out is Thursday, 6 August. That morning is still small at 4ft from the NNW, but it’s clean. The real standout is that Thursday afternoon – the wind goes glassy, and the swell jumps to 6ft from the NNW with a 8-second period. The combined energy hits 392 (moderate wave energy), and for a spot that’s “inconsistent,” this is a rare treat. It’s over 5ft, so it’s a bit too much for beginners, but for the experienced, it’s a proper session. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue, so expect some company.
Friday 7 August has a morning surf at 5ft from the N (279 energy), but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not as clean. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, or choppy junk through the rest of the period. The late Tuesday 11 August has a 7ft pulse from the NNE, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy – that’s a kite surfer’s day, not a paddle surfer’s.
So, mark your calendar for the afternoon of Thursday, 6 August. That’s your one real shot. The rest of the 16 days is a wash.

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.
