Table - best surf conditions forecast for Walcott over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Walcott over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this 16-day window and it’s a tough one. The surf is pretty much a write-off for the first week and a half. We’ve got a long gap here with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday the 11th of July, and even then, it’s pretty grim. The whole stretch from the 10th through to the 16th is dominated by small, weak, onshore slop. The combined swell energy is low, often below 100 (like 9 on the 10th), and the wind is almost always on it, from the east or northeast, making everything choppy and messy. For a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a real flat spell.
The only time things start to look a bit more interesting is around Monday the 20th, but that’s a long way off. The swell picks up to 8ft from the north with a period of 8-9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 855 (moderate). That’s the biggest surf of the window. But – and it’s a big but – the wind is still a cross-onshore from the north, making it lumpy and choppy. At 8ft, this is getting into the “experts only” territory, especially at a beach break where the conditions are messy. It’s not really a standout for paddle surfing; honestly, with that wind and size, it looks more like it’d be fun for the kite crew than a surfer looking for a clean wave.
The best of a bad bunch is probably the middle of that last week, say Tuesday the 21st, when the swell is a bit smaller at 6ft, still from the north, but the period is a decent 9 seconds. The wind is still cross-onshore, but the energy is still there at 505 (moderate). It’s the closest we get to something rideable, but it’s still not clean. The break is inconsistent and a beginner spot, so this size is too big for someone learning.
So, the outlook is pretty bleak. There’s a lot of flat, choppy days ahead. The only real pulse of north swell in the third week is too messy and big to get excited about. For a spot like Walcott, this kind of blank run is a bit more normal for the area, unfortunately. The forecasts can change, but right now, you’re not missing much.

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.
