The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty lookin' at the forecast for Walkers. Gotta be straight with you, it's a rough stretch ahead. The numbers just aren't coming together for a proper surf. There's a solid 16-day window here from now, but we've got a painful gap right up front. The first day where there's even a chance to paddle out is Sunday, July 26th, but I wouldn't get too excited.
Walkers is an intermediate-level spot that's consistent, exposed to the swell, and likes the wind from the SW. The trouble is, the wind out of the east and southeast never gives it a break. It's a constant cross-on breeze, and for the entire forecast period it's going to be choppy, lumpy, and messy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Sunday, July 26th right through to Monday, August 10th, it's the same story. Swell hangs around 4 ft to 8 ft from the ENE and E, with short, weak periods of 6 to 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy is weak to moderate (for example 191 on Sunday, 240 on Tuesday, and hitting 885 on Wednesday, July 29th and 30th). But that energy doesn't matter when it's all cross-on. The report screams "poor surf conditions" for every single session.
There's a bit of a jump in size around Wednesday, July 29th, with 8 ft swell, but that comes with a fresh breeze and wind making it lumpy. That's a big, ugly mess, not something to ride. It's too big for beginners and even for intermediates it'll be a battle. For the experts, it might just be a blown-out, choppy nightmare. Honestly, with the relentless cross-on wind and short period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at a beach break.
There are no standouts here. Nothing even comes close. The whole stretch is one long gap of poor conditions. It's one of those times when the area just has nothing to offer. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I'd find something else to do for the next two weeks.
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.
