The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Walkers is a tough one. The whole period is basically a write-off for a decent paddle session. The wind is a problem almost every single day, coming in from the east and east-northeast, and it’s persistently cross-onshore. That’s a recipe for choppy, lumpy, messy conditions. You’ve got a stretch from Friday, August 7th, all the way through to Saturday, August 22nd, with nothing but poor surf quality showing up. That’s a solid two weeks of bad news.
The swell energy is there on a few days, but it’s all wasted. For instance, on August 14th, you’ll see a big spike in energy with a combined swell energy of 1328 and a 10ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, gusting to 28 mph, and the wave comment says it’s actually too big for this break. That’s a kite surfer’s day, not a paddle surfer’s. The swell is consistently short-period too, mostly 6–9 seconds, so it’s weak, fat, and lacks any real punch.
Water temperature here is 83°, which is about average for the time of year – no surprises there.
Honestly, there’s no standout day. The only time the wind and tide even got a mention as being favorable was on the afternoon of the 14th, but the swell is predicted to be too big for Walkers. So, unless you’re looking to get thrashed in a messy, oversized shorebreak, there’s nothing to recommend. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, this run is a blank. Save your energy.
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.
