The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Walkers – and fair warning, it’s a tough watch. Over the whole 16-day stretch, there’s no quality surf to recommend. The wind is a constant problem, blowing from the east and east-northeast, always cross-onshore or cross, keeping the ocean lumpy and choppy. It’s a long, dry run with nothing worth paddling out for.
Starting Wednesday 29 July, the swell is 6 ft from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 437 – moderate energy, but trashed by a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph. It’s poor. Thursday 30 July and into early August, the swell stays between 8 ft and 4 ft, ENE direction, period at 7 to 8 seconds, and the wind remains cross-on or cross. Energy drops to 268 by Saturday 1 August, still cross-shore. By Sunday 2 August and through the next week, the swell weakens, period drops to 7 seconds, energy ranging from 288 down to 110 – weak to moderate, but always that cross-onshore wind ruining it. No good.
Around 9 to 11 August, the swell picks back up to 7 ft to 8 ft from the ENE, with energy climbing from 495 to 703 – moderate to strong. But the wind stays cross-onshore at 19 to 22 mph, making it lumpy and poor for surfing. If you kite, those stronger onshore winds and decent swell might be more your thing, but for a paddle? Not worth it.
Water temp info isn’t in the data, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or cooler than average. Walkers is a consistent, exposed break good for intermediates, and crowds can show up sometimes. The optimum swell direction is NE, but we’re seeing ENE – close but not clean.
Bottom line: no good surf options in the 16-day window. Keep the board at home and hope things shift.

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.
