The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s size up Walkers for the next couple of weeks. I gotta level with you – not a single session in this 16-day stretch is worth getting wet for. Everything in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions, and the numbers back that up. So it’s a total shutout from Wednesday August 5th right through to Thursday August 20th. No standouts, no hidden gems. Leave the board on the rack.
The whole period is hammered by steady cross-onshore winds out of the east and east-northeast, blowing mostly 15 to 25 mph, keeping the surface choppy and messy. Swell heights run from 3 ft up to 11 ft, but periods are short – mostly 6 to 9 seconds – so it’s all windswell with no real shape or punch. The combined wave energy does get strong on a few days, like Saturday August 15th morning with 1743 (moderate to strong energy) and hitting 2086 (strong) that afternoon – but that’s just raw power with zero quality. With those easterly winds and a beach setup, this looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle break. Water temp is about 83°, which is normal for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For Walkers, this kind of dry spell is pretty typical when the trades lock in. It doesn’t usually stay this poor for long, and forecasts can shift, but for now, it’s a no-go. Keep watching the horizon.
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.
