The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Walcott. The chart shows a long stretch of flat to tiny waves, and honestly, there’s not much to get excited about. We’ve got a few days where the swell tries to pick up, but it’s mostly poor conditions and barely any rideable size. The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until the morning of Sunday, 6th September, when a small 3 ft swell from the north-northwest creeps in with a gentle offshore wind, but it’s just surfable, nothing special. Then we’ve got another gap until the morning of Thursday, 10th September, where a 3 ft north-northeast swell appears with a light breeze, again just surfable and ordinary.
The only standout worth mentioning is Monday, 14th September. The morning session is the pick of the whole period. We’ll see a 7 ft swell from the north-northwest, with a period of 7 seconds and a solid combined energy of 382 (moderate). The wind is light and variable, making for clean conditions. The water temperature is about 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus. This is the best wave size we’ll see, but it’s pushing into the bigger range, so it’s not for beginners. The afternoon sees a similar 6 ft swell, but a light cross-onshore breeze creeps in, making it less ideal.
Overall, it’s a pretty lean run. If you’ve got a kite, the windy days around the 4th and 5th September might be more your thing, but for a paddle surfer, the 14th is your best bet.
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.
