The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days are a tough one for Walkers. The pattern is locked in, and not in a good way. We’ve got a constant, nagging onshore flow that just won't quit, ruining what could be some decent size.
We start on Monday, 20 July, with a 6 to 6 ft swell from the ENE, but the 16 mph cross-on wind is turning it into a choppy mess. The combined energy is moderate (306), but the quality is poor. This same story rolls through Tuesday and Wednesday, 21 and 22 July, with the swell dropping to 3 ft then picking back up to 4 ft. The wind stays cross-on, 12 to 19 mph, keeping the surface lumpy and uninviting.
Thursday the 23rd to Saturday the 25th sees the swell build again, reaching 7 ft on Saturday afternoon, with combined energy hitting 425 – that's moderate to strong. But don't get excited. The wind is still cross-on at 16 to 19 mph, so it’s gonna be a washing machine. 7 ft with that wind is a messy, powerful chore, not a pleasure.
The second week, from Sunday the 26th of July right through to Tuesday the 4th of August, is more of the same. Swell heights linger between 4 ft and 6 ft, with combined energy staying in the moderate range (135 to 417). The wind direction barely budges from the E or ENE, stuck at 12 to 22 mph, cross-on the whole time. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. The size is there at times, but the wind is consistently trashing it. For a consistent spot like Walkers, this is a real bummer. The setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. We’ll have to wait for the wind to swing around.
Keep your chin up, the forecasts can change, but for now, I’d rather be on the beach watching.

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.
