Alright, Rusty here again. Same story, just in feet and miles. Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it: the whole 16-day outlook for Walkers is a total bust. From Saturday the 4th of July all the way through to Sunday the 19th, it’s a constant battle with onshore easterly winds. The ocean is going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. There’s no hidden gem, no day to circle on the calendar. Just a long stretch of poor surf.
Starting off this Saturday morning, the 4th, we’ve got a 7ft swell from the east with a short 8-second period and the combined energy sitting at 579 (moderate energy). The wind is a fresh 22 mph easterly, making it cross-on and lumpy. It’s a write-off. Sunday is the same - a 7ft swell, 19 mph cross-on wind, and again, 'poor surf conditions'. This pattern holds all week.
Come Thursday the 9th of July, the combined energy jumps to 1154 (strong wave energy) with a 6ft swell from the SE and a longer 11-second period. It looks like it might turn on, but the wind is still a fresh 22 mph cross-on, and the wave comment stays 'poor surf conditions'. All that energy is just churning up the surface.
It doesn't get any better into the second week. By Thursday the 16th, the swell drops to 5ft and the energy falls to 217 (weak energy). The final days from the 17th to the 19th just repeat the same theme: fresh cross-on winds and low-period east swell. Every single forecasted session in this window is 'poor surf conditions' or 'fresh cross-onshore and lumpy'. There’s simply no decent paddle surfing to be had.
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.
