The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you—this one’s a bummer. From Thursday the 16th all the way through the end of the month, Walkers is just not cooperating. There’s swell coming in, but the wind is stuck on cross-on, blowing from the east and east-northeast, and it’s chopping everything up. No clean surf at all.
The swell size varies. On the 16th, we’ve got about 4ft from the ENE, short period of 7 seconds, and weak energy (170). It builds to around 8ft by the 18th, still ENE, period at 8 seconds, and energy hits the moderate range (645). But with that wind, it’s just lumpy and poor.
Around the 25th, the swell is back to about 6-7ft from the E/ENE, period still 8 seconds, and energy in the 500s. Still, the wind is cross-on and the quality is poor. Late in the month, from the 29th to the 31st, we see swell around 7ft, ENE, period at 8 seconds, and energy climbing into the 500s and 600s. But again, the wind is cross-on, and the surf is described as poor.
There’s no standout day. Not a single session looks clean. The water temperature on the 16th is 82°, which is about average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
If you’re into kite surfing, this might be your jam—steady cross-on wind and decent swell—but for paddle surfing, it’s a bleak run. I’d wait for a change in the pattern. Forecasts can shift, but right now, it’s a long stretch of nothing.

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.
