The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the next 16 days. I’ve looked at the charts, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run.
The overall pattern is locked in with a persistent easterly breeze, which is putting a nasty chop on everything. The swell is coming from the east, which is not the ideal direction for this spot. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the wind ruining any chance of clean waves. There’s a gap of no good surf from the start of the period all the way through.
Walkers is the only break on the cards, and it’s a consistent spot, but that doesn’t mean much right now. The water is sitting at about 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole first week is a write-off. From Monday the 3rd to Sunday the 9th, it’s the same story: cross-onshore winds from the east at 15 to 19 mph, with lumpy, choppy surf. The swell is small and weak, with combined energy reading between 87 and 331 – that’s weak to moderate energy at best, and with a short period of 5 to 7 seconds, it’s just messy, powerless junk.
The second week doesn’t get much better. Starting Monday the 10th through to Tuesday the 18th, the wind stays onshore, and the swell size actually starts to build. By the 13th of August, we’re seeing solid 7ft to 8ft east swell, pushing the combined energy into the strong range – hitting 598, 624, and even 914 on the 15th. But here’s the kicker: that’s too big for beginners, and the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore breeze. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’s all just a big, lumpy mess. Even on the 16th of August, when the wind swings to a straight onshore for a minute, it’s still not clean. This setup is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with all that wind and chop.
There is no standout session. No hidden gem. This is a blank run, and for this area, that’s a normal part of the pattern. Keep your board waxed and your eyes peeled – forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Walkers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Walkers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Walkers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Walkers 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 (Walkers) 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 Walkers 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.
