The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and degrees.
This is a rough stretch for Walcott – no two ways about it. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start until Thursday, August 4th, and even then it’s minimal.
The best of a bad bunch comes on Tuesday, August 4th, early morning. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the northeast, period a short 6 seconds, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare gift. Water temp is 66°F, much warmer than usual for this time of year, about 5°F above average. Combined energy is weak (90). It’s small, it’s short-period, but for an inconsistent beginner spot, it’s clean. Crowds are possible.
Then on Wednesday, August 12th, morning, we see a 3ft north swell, period 8 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind from the southwest. Clean conditions. Combined energy is moderate (125). Again, not a standout, but surfable.
Everything else is either too small, too choppy, or blown out. There’s a bump on Saturday, August 8th, with 5ft from the east and moderate energy (184), but cross-onshore wind makes it choppy – better for kiting. And Tuesday, August 11th brings 5ft from the northwest with energy at 193, but light cross-onshore wind keeps it messy.
If you’re keen, the 4th and 12th mornings are your only real shots. It’s a quiet spell, but that’s normal for here. Forecasts can change.

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.
