The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day stretch at Walkers is looking rough. There’s almost no surf worth chasing until well into the second week. The whole first week is a total washout.
Overall Pattern: Persistent cross-onshore winds out of the east and east-northeast are gonna keep things chopped up and messy. There’s swell around, but the wind won’t let it clean up. From Sunday August 9th all the way through to at least Tuesday August 18th, every session is rated poor. That’s about ten days of waiting. Water temp is 84°, right on average for this time of year.
Sunday 9th to Saturday 15th August: Swell heights run from 3 ft to 12 ft, but it’s all wind-hammered. ENE winds at 15-31 mph are cross-on, making it lumpy or blown out. Wave energy builds from a weak 217 up to a very strong 1767 by Friday 14th, but with near-gale winds on top, that’s more for kite surfers. No standouts here.
Sunday 16th August: Afternoon sees a shift – winds go offshore from the northeast at 12 mph, and the swell lengthens to 12 seconds. Swell is 7 ft with energy at 1467. Still rated poor – likely because it’s too straight for the beach break and sets might be unruly. A tease, but not the real deal.
Monday 17th August: This is the only window getting a marginal nod. Morning has light ENE winds at 6 mph and a 7 ft swell with an 11-second period – proper groundswell. Energy is a moderate 948. Rating is 2/10, so tide or setup is still off. Afternoon goes lighter with a 6 ft east swell and 10-second period, cross-shore winds at just 6 mph. It’s the cleanest you’ll see all fortnight. If you’re keen, Monday 17th afternoon is your best shot, but it’s not a standout.
Tuesday 18th through to Monday 24th August: Back to poor. Winds pick up, swell drops to 3-4 ft with short periods (6-9 seconds), and cross-onshore chop returns. Energy drops into the 100-200 range. Nothing worth paddling for.
Highlight: That Monday 17th August afternoon is the only time the wind lets up and the swell has some shape. But with a short, marginal window and the break being inconsistent, don’t hold your breath. The rest is a blank run – forecasts can change, but right now it’s tough.

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.
