The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch. The whole 16 days are a bit of a bust. We’ve got a constant east wind blowing cross-on, which is going to chop up every wave. The swell is there, but it’s never clean. The first bit of surf we see is on the 5th of September, but it’s weak with a combined energy of only 191 and coming from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds. The water is a warm 84.7°, which is normal for the time of year, but that onshore breeze is just ruining it.
The whole forecast is the same story. From the 5th right through to the 20th of September, it’s a constant barrage of east winds, pulsing up to 18-22 mph, and the swell, while it builds to a decent 7.2 ft on the 11th, is always choppy and lumpy. The combined energy peaks at 667 on the 11th, but with the wind howling cross-on, you’d be fighting a losing battle. The period stays short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just messy windswell. There’s not a single standout session in the whole run. The only break we have data for is Walkers, and it’s a consistent spot, but none of these conditions are worth paddling out for. It’s a grim run, and for a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real shame. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this entire period.

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.
