The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I've got to be straight with you – things are looking pretty grim around here. The only spot on the radar is Walkers, and honestly, it's not looking good at all.
The water temp at Walkers is sitting at 84°F which is pretty normal for this time of year, so don't expect any surprises when you get in.
For the entire 16-day forecast period, we're looking at a constant stream of onshore and cross-onshore winds whipping in from the east and southeast. The swell is there, mostly between 4ft and 8ft, and with a period of 7 to 10 seconds it's a mix of short period windswell and some longer period energy. The combined energy (869) is moderate, but it's all wasted. The wind is just ruining everything. It's a consistent set-up, but the quality is shot.
Every single morning and afternoon from Sunday the 30th of August right through to Monday the 14th of September, the forecast is for poor surf conditions. The wind is either a fresh breeze or moderate breeze, and it's either lumpy, choppy, or has a cross-chop. The swell direction is from the ENE, E, or ESE, and the optimum swell direction for Walkers is NE, so we're not even getting the best angle.
There's a bit of a bump in energy around the 8th of September, with swell heights hitting 8ft and combined energy jumping to 1061 (strong), but the wind is still howling from the ESE at 19 mph. That's a recipe for a complete mess. At 8ft, it's only for experts anyway, and with that wind, it's not even worth the paddle out.
Honestly, if you're looking to get wet, you might be better off checking if the kites are in the car. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at this point.
There's a gap of a few days with no real hope, and then it just keeps going the same way. The last few days from the 12th to the 14th of September are more of the same: onshore winds, messy surf. It's a solid run of bad luck.
So, the long and short of it is: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a write-off. Keep an eye on it, but don't get your hopes up.
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.
