The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve been staring at the charts for Walkers, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for a proper paddle. There’s surf, sure, but the conditions are just plain ugly. We’re looking at a solid two-week run of nothing but cross-onshore winds, mostly from the east and east-northeast, blowing at 12 to 22 mph. That’s creating a constant chop and lumpy mess. The swell is coming in, but it’s all short-period windswell (6 to 8 seconds), and with the wind in your face, it’s going to be a battle from the moment you paddle out. The combined wave energy bounces around from weak (126) up to moderate (486), but it’s all junk energy. Water temps are sitting around 84°F with a +0.7°F anomaly, so about average for the time of year, but you won’t be feeling the warmth with that wind chill.
Let’s break it down. Starting Friday the 31st of July, we’ve got 6 ft of ENE swell, but it’s crossed-up with a 12 mph ESE wind. That’s a big “no thanks” from me. The whole first week rolls on like this. Saturday and Sunday the 1st and 2nd of August, the swell drops to 4 ft - 5 ft, but the wind is still howling 12-19 mph from the east. Monday the 3rd through Thursday the 6th, nothing changes – fresh to moderate east winds, 4 ft to 6 ft of messy swell. The best of a bad bunch is really just a case of “less bad.” The swell picks up a bit around the 11th and 12th of August, hitting 6 ft again, but the wind is still cross-on at 16-19 mph. It’s just not happening. The whole period is a flat-out, consistent “poor surf conditions” label. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. For a spot that’s described as "consistent," this is a rare blank run. Honestly, if you’re looking at this setup, with that strong side-shore wind and lumpy waves, it looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
