The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Walcott over the next couple of weeks.
I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and underwhelming. There’s no real surf to get excited about. The swell energy is weak, barely tickling the coast, with the highest reading hitting just 221 (moderate energy) on Wednesday the 9th of September, but even that only brings a 5ft NNW swell with a short 8-second period. It’s not going to shape up into anything worthwhile.
The water is sitting at 66° – that’s about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s notably warm, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
Because the swell is so small and inconsistent, and the wind is often cross-off or cross-shore, there’s nothing here that’s going to get a surfer out of bed. The setup is flat, and honestly, it looks more suited to a kite session than a paddle session, especially on the afternoons when the breeze picks up.
There are no standout days, no hidden gems. It’s a blank run of small, weak, and poor quality surf. For Walcott, this kind of quiet spell isn’t unusual – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.

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.
