The Lowdown
Right, folks, let’s get stuck into what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. I’m lookin’ at the whole picture for Walkers, and I gotta be straight with you - it’s gonna be a long, tough stretch. The forecast is a real pain, with a big gap of no-good surf right from the start. We’re lookin' at a solid 9-day run of nothin' worth paddlin' out for, from Friday the 21st of August right through to Saturday the 29th. That’s a long dry spell, and it’s all down to a constant, strong cross-onshore wind that’s just wreckin’ everything.
So, let’s break it down. The first day we can even think about is Sunday the 30th of August. The swell is a 6ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (535). The wind finally eases up, but it’s still a cross-on from the NNW. The report calls it marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen in days. The water temp is about 85°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze.
Now, the real standout, and the only thing that gets my blood pumpin’ in this outlook, is the end of the first week of September. If you can wait it out, it might be worth it. On Saturday the 5th of September, we start to see a pulse. The swell is 5ft from the ENE, period 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (314). The wind is still cross-on from the east, but it’s lighter. Honestly, it’s still not clean, but it’s the best option on offer in a bleak forecast.
The biggest problem here is that persistent cross-onshore wind. It’s just never giving us a break. For a spot like Walkers, which is an exposed beach break, this setup is a nightmare. With that consistent wind and swell over 5ft, it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy mess, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle-surfing one for most of this period. The swell direction is ENE, but the optimum for Walkers is from the NE, so it’s not even hittin' it perfectly.
To put it bluntly, this is a tough run. The surf is consistently poor, and the forecasts can change, but right now, I’d plan on doing something else for the next two weeks. There’s no true standout, just a couple of slightly less terrible days. Keep an eye on the sky, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
