Table - best surf conditions forecast for Walkers over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch ahead and it’s not pretty. The whole 16-day window is a real bummer, with no decent surf on offer. We’re looking at a solid two and a half weeks of frustration, starting Tuesday 7 July and running all the way through to Wednesday 22 July. The wind just won’t give us a break.
Our only option is Walkers. It’s an exposed spot that likes a NE swell, but every single day the wind is cross-onshore, mostly a fresh breeze at 19 to 25 mph, making everything lumpy and messy. The swell sticks around 5 ft to 8 ft, all short-period stuff (7 to 8 seconds) and pushing moderate combined energy (between 265 and 932). The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, with this set-up and consistent onshore winds, this looks more like a kite surfer’s playground than a place to paddle out. The waves will be choppy and poor quality. There isn’t a single standout session here. Sometimes forecasts change, and it can come good, but for now, save your energy. This is just one of those blank runs.

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.
