The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough run of forecasts. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the surf just isn’t cooperating at Walkers. Every single day in the forecast is a write-off for paddle surfing. The wind is a constant problem – relentless easterly breeze, 12 to 22 mph, either cross-onshore or straight cross-shore, keeping the surface choppy, lumpy, or just plain messy.
The swell is coming in from the east and east-northeast, with heights ranging from 3 ft to 7 ft, and periods hanging tight around 7 to 9 seconds. That’s short-period, wind-affected stuff, not the kind of groundswell that’ll offer any quality. On the bigger days, especially from the 9th to the 10th of September, the combined energy pushes into the 500–600 range (moderate to strong), but with that onshore wind, it’s just raw, unruly power – more of a wind-swell mess than anything surfable. On the 9th of September, you’re looking at 7 ft to 7 ft of that short-period E swell, and with a consistent cross-onshore breeze at 19–22 mph, that’s a no-go for a clean ride. It’s too big for beginners and just ugly for everyone else.
For the first break mentioned, Walkers, the water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year – no anomaly there to write home about.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout in this 16-day run. The entire stretch is a blank. Not one recommendation to point a board at. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with those consistent easterly winds and building swell energy. For us surfers, it’s a good time to tune up the quiver and wait. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, the forecast is stubborn. Put the board away and stay patient.

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.
