The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Walcott. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We've got a real dry spell on our hands.
Looking at the full 16-day window, there's barely a whisper of decent surf. The first real glimmer of anything rideable doesn't show up until the very end, and even then, it's a mess. There's a massive gap of days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only break on the cards is Walcott. It's a beginner spot, but it's inconsistent, and about a week and a half from now, on Thursday the 20th of August, the swell really tries to build. By Thursday afternoon, we see a 5ft swell from the NW, but it's a short-period 6-second windswell, and the combined energy is moderate (167). The problem is it's coming with a moderate cross-onshore breeze and choppy conditions. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Later, on Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd, the wind swings offshore and clean, but the swell is tiny – 2ft and 1ft – with no real energy behind it. You'd be floating around with barely a bump.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day forecast, there's nothing to get excited about. The breaks are too small, the winds are wrong, or the swell is too messy. It's a blank run. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.
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.
