The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve burned some midnight oil on the Walkers charts, and I gotta tell ya – this 16-day stretch is a total dud. There’s nothin’ worth paddling for. The wind is locked in from the east or ese, blowing 12 to 22 mph, cross-onshore or cross, and it’s gonna chop everything to bits. Every single forecast says “poor surf conditions.” The swell is mostly short-period windswell under 8 seconds, and even when a bigger pulse rolls in, the wind spoils it. You’ll see the combined wave energy climb into moderate territory – like 322 on August 25th morning, peaking at a strong 1326 on August 30th afternoon – but it means nothin’ with that wind. It’ll all be lumpy, choppy, and messy. Walkers is a consistent, exposed NE spot, so this kind of rough patch is a tough pill to swallow, but it’s not unusual. Forecasts can flip, so don’t give up entirely, but for now, I’d hang the wetsuit up. Water temp’s 84°, right about average for this time of year, but that’s small comfort. No waves worth mentioning. 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.
