The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run. We’ve got a solid swell on the way, but the wind is just going to absolutely trash it. The setup at Walkers is exposed to the swell, and we’ve got consistent ENE wind, which is cross-on. That’s our main problem. The water temp is sitting at 83.1°F, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 6th all the way through the weekend, we are looking at poor surf conditions. The swell is on the small side, 3.0ft to 4.3ft, coming from the E and NE, with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds, and it’s all cross-on wind. The combined energy is moderate at best, but it’s not worth a paddle. Total chop.
The middle of next week, starting Wednesday the 12th, the swell starts to build. By Thursday the 13th, we’re seeing 6.6ft to 6.9ft from the ENE with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. The energy is ramping up. But here’s the kicker – the wind is still a fresh cross-on. That’s not going to be clean. It’s going to be lumpy and messy. For a beach setup, this is not looking good for a paddle.
The real kicker comes from Friday the 14th through to Monday the 17th. The swell is going to pump. We’re talking 8.2ft of solid ENE swell, with the period stretching to 9 seconds. The combined energy numbers are huge, 900 to 964. That’s a lot of water moving. But again, the wind is a strong cross-on, 19 to 25 mph. At this size, with that wind, it’s going to be a complete washing machine. It’s too big for beginners, and even for the experienced guys, it’s going to be a battle. Honestly, I’d say the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, the swell slowly drops through the 18th and 19th, back to 4.9ft to 6.9ft, but the cross-on wind doesn’t let up. It stays a consistent fresh breeze. The latter part of the window, from the 20th, sees the swell back down to 3.9ft to 4.3ft, but it’s still cross-on. There’s no standout window in this whole forecast. The conditions are just poor for the entire period. It’s a real bummer.

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.
